Sugar Cookie Correction

I'm so embarrassed and owe an apology to the 120 people who downloaded my sugar cookies! I didn't realize when I saved them as a png file I would collapse the layers.

I have separated the cookies each to their own png file and rezipped the folder.

The link has been replaced on the sugar cookies post but you may also download it from here.


I am so sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

CU - Wire Letters - 2

This has been saved as a psd file and has a single pearl included so you can change the location of the pearls. Both words are also on separate layers to make it easier to place them where you want them. :)

CU - Wire Letters - 1

This is the first of my Commercial Use files. These are saved as psd files since I have included the single pearls along with the wire so you can change the pearl location since I got a bit carried away! lol

Wreath Script

Have I mentioned I am taking a class in script writing? Well this was our second lesson so I'll share it with you. :) Be kind! lol

This script was done in PSP9 but should work in newer versions. Please be sure you read the instructions included in the zip as it will give you settings for your filter. Although the supplies are included in the zip use your imagination and add tubes, etc of your own.

Christmas Frame

This started out as a challenge but with everyone asking how I did it I decided to share it here. Later I will upload a template because the procedure is just too complicated to make it into a simple tutorial. And I'm not much of a tutorial writer anyway! lol So keep checking back for the template. :)

No dropshadow on frame and it is much larger than shown. Graphic Bunnies are also not included.

Country Turkey

I wasn't happy with my bow but since there isn't much for Thanksgiving I thought I had better share this little turkey. lol

Sugar Cookies

I had fun making these but I kept asking my hubby if the frosting looked right. The next thing I knew he was up eating. lol He said they made him hungry.

I had so many requests for how I did the frosting I did a quick tutorial which I'll try to get posted to you later.

They are much larger than the preview, each on their own layer and without the drop shadow.

A Friendship Award

I also want to thank Tammy at Tam's Dezigns for another Friendship Award. Please be sure to check out her blog. You'll find some great layouts over there. You'll find Tammy here.

This award is called the "Proximidade Award" or "Friendship Around The World Award". Originally this award was written in Spanish, but it translates to highlight blogs that are pleasing or special in some way, and also to extend the hand of friendship around the world. And I'm suppose to pass this award on to 8 blogs but since I know a couple of new blogs going up this next week I'm going to wait to award these. :)

Thanks again Tammy!

A New Award

I have received another award. I am so honored. Thank you so much Laurie!
Please go by and check out her beautiful blog.
