As you can see, I am no longer using Online Storage Solution for new links.  I loved it when it worked but it seemed like it was down more than it worked.  I am currently unable to upload anything although I can log into my account and download files.  It’s been a very frustrating few months and I apologize for anyone who signed up because of my suggestions.  I’m trying SkyDrive which is a service provided by Microsoft so hopefully I will have better luck with them.  Let me know if you have any issues with SkyDrive!

CU OK White Bead Alpha

I photographed and extracted these beads while I was working on my Americana kit because I wanted to do some word art with them and string them on some cool strings.  But I got lazy extracting the strings and decided to give up on the word art.  Sooo, here’s the alpha.  Nothing new and you probably already have a set but in case you don’t – grab these.  There’s A-Z and a heart bead in individual pngs and a .psd with each letter on it’s own layer.  I think it’s easier to work with them when they are all on their own layer in one document and you don’t have to open each letter up that you want to work with.  But that’s just a matter of my personal preference.

I would like to thank everyone for the awesome blog birthday wishes!  I really do have the best readers and I really appreciate it!

It’s my Blog Birthday and I have a new Kit!

I haven’t posted anything in awhile but I have been busy working on this kit for the past week.  With Memorial Day and the 4th of July coming up I wanted to make a kit with a freedom theme.  I hardly ever do kits because I hate making background papers.  I don’t know why, but it takes me the longest time to create the background papers.  Weird, I know.  Anyway, there are 19 papers and a variety of elements included in this kit and I have ideas for several add-ons that I will probably be posting throughout the next several days but I wanted to get this posted today.  Today has a special significance because it is my blog birthday!  Only two short years ago I started the Scrappin Cop and things sure have changed around here but I hope to be celebrating many more blog birthdays in Digiland!  Thanks to all my awesome readers and followers and fellow designers for sticking with me!

CU OK Romantic Grunge Overlays

Today’s freebie wasn’t quite in the “pending” folder but I did purchase a wallpaper sampler book months ago from Ebay with the eventual intention of photographing and making overlays from them.  I had some time this afternoon to finally get them finished.  After photographing, cropping, and desaturating them I ran several Filter Forge filters on them to give them a soft grunge look. There are 6 .jpeg overlays (3600 x 3600) in this set. Enjoy!

CU OK Textured Glass Layer Style for PS/PSE

Today’s freebie is a set of semi-transparent textured layer styles for Photoshop/PSE that I wanted to look like stained glass.  I still don’t think they look like that but they had to be removed from the pending folder so I uploaded them today.  Here’s an example:

CU OK Spiral Jewel Clips

Here’s yet another set of elements I found in my “pending” folder.  I was never happy with how they looked but I messed with them a little more today and I guess they are okay. Included in the .zip is the jewel, that you can recolor, and a gold “clip” and a silver “clip”.  I thought about recoloring a bunch of jewels and place  them on the clips and giving away as a set but I figure you all can recolor and this will save your HD space!

CU OK Leather Strap Elements

Today’s freebie is a set of leather straps that I photographed and extracted.  Enjoy!

CU OK Circle Stamps .abr and .pngs plus PSD!

Today’s freebie is another item I had in my “pending” folder. Included in the .zip are a bunch of circle stamps  in .png and Photoshop .abr format.  You can “stamp” them as is on your layout or use one of the included grunge brushes as an eraser to grunge them up, like this:

Add a custom shape or date in the middle and play around with different layer styles like this:

Or this:

Also included in the .zip is the .psd I used as a template to make all the different brushes, with the text paths included. You can try to see if it works in your program.  I saved it in CS5 (LOVE IT!) with maximum compatibility.  However, if you do not have these fonts installed on your computer Photoshop/PSE will likely substitute the font.  I included the .psd in case  you would like to substitute a different saying for your layouts or kits, and hope it works for you! (but no promises, lol).   You will need to double-click on each text layer and then type in your own saying.  If you all have suggestions for more sayings and don’t want to mess with trying to make your own with the .psd, leave a comment here or email me and I will probably make more when I have enough for another set. Each stamp is about 4”.

CU OK Craft Gems

I found these things in my “Pending” file which is where I put all the stuff I’m going to do “later”.  I have several things in there that I have started and then for whatever reason I never finished.  I’m not real sure how useful these will be but I’m trying to clear out the pending folder so I wrapped these up tonight.  A while back I photograhed a sheet of craft gems and extracted them.  There are three different layers in the .psd.  The top “gem” layer, and a silver “setting” layer and a gold “setting” layer.  They aren’t divided individually so you will need to choose which setting you want (if any) and merge with the gem layer (after recoloring, if you like).  Then you will need to select a gem (with rectangular marquis, lasso tool, etc.) and copy it to your layout.  I could have just offered a few gems but I thought you might want some variety as no two gems are exactly alike and you can create a more realistic element – yes? Anyway, here’s a quick example of a frame I made:

CU OK Bling Belt Slides

I’m back with another freebie that might not be of any use for digiscrappers but perhaps you can find something to do with these belt slides I picked up at the craft store recently. You can wrap a ribbon around them, recolor, maybe even use them as frames?
