CU OK Real Four Leaf Clovers

Here are some real lucky 4 leaf clovers that I scanned and extracted from my supply of clovers I use for my jewelry pieces.  Have fun using them for your St. Patrick’s day kits or layouts!  There are 8 individual .png files without drop shadows.

CU OK Charm Collection

Wow, It’s been so long.  I can’t believe that I haven’t posted here in 5 months!  I appreciate everyone’s kind emails and concerns regarding my well-being.  I am just fine!  I had a crazy summer with several vacations, weekend triathlon races with my son, and my new Etsy Shop, and have neglected the blog.  Now that things have slowed down a little, I will hopefully have some more time to post some freebies.  I have a bunch of ideas and started projects, but just not enough time! 

Today’s freebie is a set of CU OK charms that I have purchased for pendants to sell in my shop.  I photographed and extracted them and thought they would be cute to put word art, photographs, etc. inside them.  String them on a ribbon or hang them from a chain on your layouts?  You all are much more creative than I am.  There are 20 charms and they are easily recolored.  Enjoy!

CU OK Pressed Flowers

I purchased these lovely pressed flowers to use in my jewelry pendants that I sell on Etsy and thought that they would also be very pretty for digiscrapping.  So I scanned and extracted them for that very purpose.  Just in time for the Mother’s Day layouts!  I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

CU OK Vintage Postcard Collage Background Papers

I’m back with another vintage freebie with the postcard theme.  These 5 background papers finish off the postcard/stamp series.  You can desaturate them for a cool overlay or use them as they are.  Perfect for the travel related layouts and kits!  Also, I posted a few more items today on Etsy, some finished resin pendants that I had fun making.  Hit up the widget on the right to take a look!

CU OK Vintage Bicycles and Human Powered Oddities Photoshop Brushes and Image Pack

I have been pouring over some great public domain books I’ve stumbled across on archive.org in search of some vintage “Steampunky” images for my resin jewelry pieces and found a great volume titled “Cycling art, energy and locomotion” by Robert P. Scott.  In it there are a bunch of illustrations of old bicycles and other contraptions from the 1800’s.  I have spent hours extracting, cleaning up, and enhancing the drawings to create a set of brushes for Photoshop/PSE.  They are much larger than the preview, averaging about 1200-2200 px each.  If you guys like these maybe I’ll make more vintage brush sets from some of the other great books I’ve found.

Vintage Postcard Backs Set #2

As promised, here are more vintage postcard freebies.  I scanned each of them in and used the beta download of CS6 to clone out all of the writing on the backs.  I am very impressed with CS6 and will surely be buying it when it becomes available.  The content aware features are awesome!  If you haven’t tried it out, you can download the free trial version HERE and play with it.  I really like the darker UI too.

Here’s what I’ve been up to… and a new freebie.

Hello, remember me?  I know that it has been awhile.  I seem to do things in spurts and I do have several new freebies that I am going to post in the next week or so.  Some of you may have noticed that I added a new widget to my blog over here ---------------------------->  

I have been messing with resin all winter and making some fun jewelry pieces for friends and relatives.  I’ve just started selling the findings that I make out of upcycled copper tubing and I created a tutorial on how to use the bezels with resin.  The free tutorial, if anyone is interested, is posted in my etsy shop and you can view it by clicking HERE.

I’m also getting very excited for the digiscrap retreat in two weeks!  I’m bumming a ride from Hummie and can’t wait to see and chat with her again.

And now for the freebie.  I finally had a chance to play with all the old vintage post cards I bought when I purchased the stamps a few months ago.  I scanned them in and made some goodies.  The first in the series is a set of brushes for Photoshop/PSE and individual .png files of the backs of some of the postcards.  I just love the fonts and elaborate designs on some of them and hope you can find some use for them!  There are 13 different brushes/.pngs and the preview shows their size on a 3600 x 3600 document.
