Valarie Ostrom's Block Party Freebie!

Sorry I'm late of releasing my part of Valarie Ostrom's Block Party Blog Train, but my laptop hard disk corrupted and it took some time to get that fixed. Luckily I didn't loose any files :)

Valarie is having a block party from now until next Saturday.
Lots of fun, freebies and contests organized by Valarie and her CT girls.

First of all, every single day of the party Valarie will put a new product to her shops Pretty Scrappy, Digital Paper Hearts or Scrapable (new shop!!).

Valarie has also set up a special block party forum where you can all register and take part in our contests. You can win free coupons to Valarie's shops by joining in the challenges. Click on the link HERE to register and join us in the fun.

And here is the freebie. It was made with Valarie's kit Sweet Nothings, which is on sale 30%.

Templates number 8 + 0

Heips,
I finally had time and motivation to finalize my next templates - number 8 and matching 0.
Font used: Bookman Old Style (format: Bold)












I wasn't able to find free version of this font, it seems to be commercial font. I'm not sure have I got it with one font CD or is it belonging to standard font package.
As always, I would love to see what you have created with my templates :o)

Have fun and leave some love if you like it.

Kit: Your Special Day

Heips,

Today is my oldest daughter 7th birthday. I can't believe how fast years have gone by. It feels like she was just born and now she is already 7. Before I realize she will be a teenager! Huh!
Here is the photo, which we sent to our local news paper.
And guess what is the theme of her Birthday Party?
Princess Skull!!!!
It really took some time to adjust to this theme, where did all princess and fairy stuff disappeared? And it really wasn't easy to find some stuff for the party. Those skulls are not so popular here in Finland. So we just had to be creative and do most of the stuff by ourselves, now we have house full of all kind of skeleton stuff :o)
And about invitation, she wanted to have picture where she is inside the mouth of the princess skull. I have to admit that it was the most hilarious photoshooting ever, when we were trying to take a picture for invitation. She was making so funny faces that I just couldn't stop laughing and most of the photos were out of focus because I couldn't stand still.





















































My new freebie kit: Your Special Day, is created specially for her. She loves bright colors and she is such a lively and outgoing person. It is mainly containing all kind of number stuff because of the birthday theme. I hope you like it.

And don't worry, those missing templates will be published soon. I just haven't had time to finish those yet.

Happy Scrappin'

Add-On to Digitreats SKIP ABC kit

Hi all,
Finally add-on to Skip ABC kit, originally created by Pamela from Digitreats.
DIGITREATS

I created these clocks long time ago, but never had enough time to finalize them until now.
These are so called Do-It-Youself clocks, so you can build what ever kind of clock you want. All parts are separated png files. You can use backgrounds I created, but you can also modify already existing Digitreats papers for your clock. Shape format of the background is attached to the kit.

Have fun with scrappin'

Template number 6

I have got several emails about my templates and questions when will I post new ones. Here is number 6. This was actually the first template, which I created. My oldest daughter Meeri had her 6^th birthday on January and I made this page for her.

I’ll continue creating these number templates; I still haven’t done numbers 7, 8, 9 and 0’s. So stay tuned, more templates are on their way to be posted here.

Enjoy!
JohannaL

*****************************************************************

Ups... I totally forgot to add credits to my LO.
Sheri also asked where I have got number 6 paper, well I made it by myself. I have a plan to create a kit for each birthday. Have already started it, but I have so much other things at the moment, that really haven't had time to do much with it.

IkeaGoddess is showing a links to my templates again. Jippiii... Her list is the best, I'm SOOOOOO HAPPY that she likes them.

Template number 10 = 1+ 0

It is time to announce next number template. This time it is a number 0, which is a pair with number 1 template.

This template has a special meaning; it was created for remembrance of Dae Hon.
He was 10 years old boy, who earned his angel wings on 1^st of May 2008.

I got an email from his grandmother who wanted to make scrap page of him, which says Forever 10. Unfortunately I can’t write English so well and don’t know how to write my feelings into words. But this story touched me so much. This is especially for you; Dae Hon. I’ll remember you.

Hugs

Templates 5 & 0

Heips,

Earlier I mentioned that I had a problem with number 5. That number just didn't gave me any vision into my head. But luckily one great lady gave me an idea with her comment :o)

Jody's comment: DH and I have our 50th Wedding Anniversary!

And I got my vision! I must use hearts! And I also created number 0 as a pair to number 5 template. So I have now templates 5 and 0 for you.
I will continue this idea of creating number 0 template as a pair to each number template. Also numbers 1 - 4 will get their pairs soon.

For Jody
Thank you so much for being the source of my inspiration!

Also what font I'm using with these templates was asked, answer is that I'm using different fonts with each of them. I just write number e.g. 5 and then browse my fonts with it and check which one of them is best for photos. Unfortunately I haven't wrote down, which font I have used with each of them.

I'm so happy that I have received so many comments and emails about my templates.
And I would LOVE to see LO's you have created with templates. Please, send link to your gallery, blog etc. where ever you have those visible.

Hugs and Happy Scrappin'

Third template

Heips,

It is time for 3rd template!

Reply to comments: Yes, I'm creating templates for numbers 0-9, not only for 1,2 and 6. I already have an idea how to create number 0. But I'm having a difficult time with number 5... I just don't seem to get the vision in my head about it :o(
Maybe I should browse the photos of Meeri's 5th birthday, the vision might be hiding there.

Wow, templates 1&2 got listed in IkeaGoddess blog. I really don't know what to say, I just LOVE her blog, she has so many great freebies listed there.

They have really cool color swatch for this month. I really loved the colors, because I don't usually use these colors at all. So it was fun to create something with the colors never used before.
I named my kit after the quote I found from the Quote Garden, author is unknow.
Elements are created with felt effect.
I really hope that you like it as much as I do.

And if you create a LO with my kits, please... please... please... send your creations to my by email el9331 @ gmail.com (remove empty spaces between @) or leave a link to your gallery into my comments. I would love to see what you come up with my kits.

My first template!

I finally manage to finalize it - my very first template.
Because of my daughters I needed templates, which to use with each birthday year. This has taken so many hours from my time, because it was totally something new I had to learn.
My plan is to create whole set of number templates - 1 to 10 and also 25, 50 etc. Some of those are already ready, but will be published later.

Hint, hint: These are also good for wedding anniversaries. Or getting new tooths, or losing those...

Please send a link to your gallery or email your LO's to me, if you use my template. I would love to show your work in my blog. I really didn't have enough time to do any LO by myself, steeling time from my family just for creating these templates have been quite a challenge ;o)

Add-On to Digitreats SKIP ABC kit

Hi all,
Another add-on to Skip ABC kit, originally created by Pamela from Digitreats. I think almost everyone already knows about her great kits, but if you don't then hurry hurry go to her blog to check her amazing work. Here is link to her blog:
DIGITREATS

Several designers have fallen love to the colors she is using and created add-ons to those kits. And so have I. LOL.
I bought several months ago couple of great plug-ins from The Alien Skin. I have mostly used only couple of cool effects, but one day I decided to play around little bit more with them - and these are the results. Add-on contains mosaic papers and some new elements.

I have almost done teddy bears with Jump kit colors, but not quite finished yet. So all of you who have been waiting for them, they are on their way.

I would love to see your LO's created with these kits, please send your gallery links or leave links to comments or email those to me: el9331@gmail.com.
