January Pixel Scrapper BlogTrain

Hi All and a Very Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Pixel Scrapper Blog Train of the New Year.  The theme this month is The Guys and I chose to concentrate on wood working. As you can see, I got a bit carried away again!  The designers at Pixel Scrapper have many great kits, so  if you didn't come from there, be sure to go to Pixel Scrapper for many more goodies.

Here are the papers:

frames and borders:

word art and flairs:

cards:

the elements:

The next two parts of the kit are a bit on the "artsy" side - I wanted to try something a bit outside the box for me, so this is an add-on:

Tutorial - Straight Line to Circle

I had a request for a "how-to" for some circular frames I make from borders in some of my kits. It is really quite easy but you need Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to do it.  This is how:

Here is a video tutorial from Digital Scrapper on YouTube that explains it better:

November Pixel Scrapper Blog Train

Hi All! Once again it is time for the Pixel Scrapper blog train.  The theme is Enchanting Autumn and the pallette is perfect for the beautiful fall colors.  I love the all the brilliant colors of the leaves this time of year.  Raking them . . . . . . not so much!  Hope you like my little kit and when you are done here head on over to Pixel Scrapper for the rest of the train.

July Blog Train at Pixel Scrapper

Hi All! I was sorry to have missed last month's blog train as I loved the pallette, but we were away from home almost the whole month.  Our grandson graduated from college - in Portland, Oregon - so we got in the car and traveled all the way there from Northeast Ohio.  Along the way we saw Mt Rushmore and the Bad Lands in South Dakota, Devils Tower in Wyoming, drove through the Columbia River gorge between Washington and Oregon (and stopping to see the Bonneville Dam and several gorgeous waterfalls), the beautiful Oregon coast, the Redwoods in California, Crater Lake and Mt Hood in Oregon, and the Bonneville Salt Flats and Great Salt Lake in Utah.  Lots of beautiful sights and memories along with lots of photos to process.  I did take a little time to do a small kit for the July blog train at Pixel Scrapper.  Hope you like it.  And if you didn't come here from Pixel Scrapper, head on over and feast on the all the goodies that are there.

Pixel Scrapper March BlogTrain

Hi All!  March's blog train at Pixel Scrapper is up and running.  I loved the pallette this month, but unfortunately I didn't have time to do as much as I would have liked.  Just a small mini-kit this month.  The theme this month was Unwind.  My favorite method of unwinding is getting out in Nature, hiking in our Metroparks and along the Towpath.   

There are lots of gorgeous goodies and lots of different methods of Unwinding over at Pixel Scrapper, so be sure to head over there.  Meanwhile, here is my kit:

February Blog Train at Pixel Scrapper

Hi All!  Time for another Pixel Scrapper blog train.  The theme this month is For the Love.  I did three mini-kits, one featuring hearts, one featuring roses, and one featuring chocolate.  The chocolate one was a no-brainer.  I loooooove chocolate.  As always, when you are done here, head on over to Pixel Scrapper for the rest of the train.  The designers there have done a wonderful job.  Happy Valentine's Day to you all.  Hope you get lots of chocolate . . . .  and roses.

Addon to Crafty Evening

Hi All - Here is the addon as promised.  Inspiration really struck late for this blog train.  I enjoyed making the addon more than the original one.  Now, while I put on my thinking cap for next month, here is the addon.  Oh, if you haven't been to Pixel Scrapper for the January train yet, head on over.  There are tons of goodies there.

Everything is available in one download.  I just wanted to show the cards and wordart without crowding.
