CU OK Freedom Flowers

Today’s freebie is a set of flowers I made from some cute cupcake liners I bought a while ago.  I thought the red and white ones were too plain so I stitched a swirl on each of them.  Drop shadows are for preview purposes only.

To “GUEST”

Today there was a post on my shoutbox from “guest” that reads like this:

Guest Why are you advertising at CU Freebie Forum if you are asking for $20.00 License fee ! NOT RIGHT AT ALL :(

Ummm, ok. First of all, I don’t “advertise” anywhere.  That would mean I pay a fee right? Nope, I haven’t done that.  Second, I haven’t posted any of my freebies there since I changed the license terms and cannot remember the last thing I would have posted there but I imagine it was well over a year ago.  Guest, did you read the license terms?  It states that all items offered AFTER 10/12/09 require a license purchase.  I realize that any member of that forum can post a found freebie there and I cannot be responsible for those who may have posted my products in error after 10/12/09.  Actually, I believe the site has changed hands because I am not even able to log onto my account there, and it does not look anything like it did when I was active there.

Of course the GUEST probably won’t even read this post because she came here to get something for nothing and then flew off the handle when she saw there was a license fee and didn’t bother to read it.  Are you “entitled” to free stuff? Well, GUEST, you are welcome to download every single thing on my blog absolutely free.  I just ask a modest fee if you want to MAKE MONEY from it. Gee, I’m sorry if that seems unfair to you, but I have spent thousands on equipment, filters, programs, to create FREE items, only to have others make money from them.   I will take the blinkie down for the CU Freebies site if that offends you.  I placed it up there so others can find CU Freebies. The blinkies I choose to place on my site are links for my readers to find other resources available to them and aren’t “advertising”.

And lastly – why the anonymity? Why not a link to your blog if you are a designer? An email? How can I respond to you “GUEST”? I hate that I have wasted 1/2 an hour of my precious time responding to you when you don’t even give me the courtesy of an email with your “concerns”. 

Anyway – there’s much more that I could say but I’m going to keep this a family friendly site so I’ll refrain.

To Cindy, who keeps commenting for help – how can I help you if you have no email? I had no issues placing a paper under the round clipboard clip using the .psd (See link) .  What do you mean that it isn’t separated? I need an example (photo) of what you are talking about please before I can begin to help you.

CU OK Animal Bracelets

If you have kids you’ve probably seen these and picked them up all over your house!  All my kids (5-17) wear these silly bracelets and it’s my understanding that they are this year’s big fad.  I thought they might be cute for your kid layouts, especially if they are into the bracelets!

Americana Quick Pages

For today’s freebie I have a set of full size quick pages that I made using my Americana Kit.  They are 3600 x 3600 .png files and are PU/SFO/SFH only please!  If they are well received, I will probably make some more or maybe a brag book set.

My frustration with secondary file storage options is raging now.  Sky drive will only allow me to download if I’m signed in and I’ve received info that others have been unable to download also.  I don’t think you should have to have an account to download a shared file, am I right?  Of course, there is no one I can email at Microsoft to clear this up. UGHHH! Online Storage Solution isn’t working, and FileSavr randomly has you downloading a .jpeg file instead of the .zip file.  HUH?? 4shared has been the only consistent option throughout all this and although I say that, I am annoyed at the 20 second wait to download a file if you aren’t a “premium” member.  Anyone, anyone have a better solution that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg?

If you try the Filesavr link and it attempts to download a .jpeg, close the window and try the link again from my blog and the second time it should work.  I’ve emailed Filesavr but of course, no response!

CU OK Overlays from my Patterned 3 Brush Set

As promised here are the overlays I made from the brush set I just posted for those who do not have PS/PSE.  They are transparent .png files.  I have found that “color burn” is my favorite blend mode for this overlay set, but feel free to experiment to achieve the look you like!

CU OK Patterned Grunge 3 Brushes

Although I’ve been away for several days, I have been busy!!  It seems like every night this summer there are baseball games, softball games, Tball games to attend and I’m feeling a little frazzled!  I finally had some time to sit down and complete another freebie though.  Tonight’s freebie is another set of patterned Photoshop brushes.  Again, you just “paint” on your canvas with the brush and it will paint the pattern on your document.  For this set there are 7 patterns and I created a “smooth” brush set and a “grungy” brush set for each pattern.  (See explanation HERE)Here’s an example (and a sneak peak for a QP set I’m working on) using one of the brushes:

SC_AmericanaQPEX

And Here’s the preview and DL Links.  There’s barbed wire, chicken wire, chain link fence, one that resembles a net, and some grates.  For those who don’t have PS/PSE, check my next post for some CUOK overlays I made using these brushes!
