Back with a freebie!

I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged. I've been a bad blogger!

I've considered showing you some of my layouts recently, but I figured I'd be better off getting a fresh start with a freebie!

Considering the date, a lot of new kits are coming out with Valentine's day themed kits. That's how I started last year with an alpha! I can't believe it's been a year!

Instead of going with that theme, I was inspired by something else happening on February 14th this year: the Chinese New Year. My new kit is called Chinese Zodiac and it has the feel of a Chinese New Year celebration and everything you need to scrap your chinese zodiac sign.

I really hope you like it, I'm pretty happy with it...

So here's a look at the whole kit:

As usual, we'll start with the papers, and they look like this:

You'll notice the 12 little ones on the preview. The kit includes one paper with the Chinese character for each of the 12 signs (and they are labelled clearly in case, like me, you don't read Chinese, lol).

So here are the 3 links to download on 4shared:

Chinese Zodiac papers 1

Chinese Zodiac papers 2

Chinese Zodiac papers 3

Please let me know if you like it with a little love (here preferably, or on 4shared). And don't forget to upload your pages done with the kit or any other kit of mine (my guestbook is a little sad...).

A little disclaimer before I let you go. I am not of Chinese descent, nor do I really know the culture so well. I did a lot of research for the colours and the characters, etc. and I hope I got it right. But if anyone around is Chinese and notices mistakes, please let me know so I can try to correct them, and know that I mean no disrespect.

See you tomorrow with the elements!

You're finally getting it!

Today, you get the kit that I used to decorate my blog. It's called On a Crisp Autumn Day and I didn't do a layout but I did the blog background and header with it.

Let me show you the preview for the whole kit:

Before I give you the papers, I'll show you what my CT did with it!
First Émilie with a layout of her beautiful daughter:

Then Judith with the cutest little kitty:

Tomorrow, I'll show you what my sister did (not your average layout, you'll see).
Today you get the papers and they look like this:

There are two links for them:

papers 1
papers 2

Make sure you come back for the rest. Tomorrow I'll give you the elements, then the alpha and I actually have a cluster frame made by me and a quickpage made by my sister for you!

A new freebie at last and it's ...

A collab!!!
Not only that, it's a collab with the very talented Vicki of A Work in Progress!!!
I'm so excited about this one, she's a great designer and she was a pleasure to work with!

Now, let's talk freebie. It's called Pop Shop and it's really different and fun, at least I think so ;)
Take a look first at Vicki's part:

Gorgeous isn't it?
And now my part:

Now before I let you have anything, I have to show you some layouts that my CT and Vicki's did with this kit. They're all very talented and should provide some inspiration!

First Judith's gorgeous volcano pics:

And this is my sister Anne-Laure's layout:

And now a couple of Vicki's CT's layouts:
Peni's

Laramie's

And Kim's:

They're all amazing layouts, aren't they! I'll show you more tomorrow.

Today you get the papers. Here are Vicki's, linked to her blog to download:

And mine:
There are 2 links for them (they are on 4shared, but were freshly uploaded today and should be safe):

Pop Shop papers 1
Pop Shop papers 2

I sure hope you like it, leave Vicki and me some love if you download and then maybe we'll collaborate again!
See you tomorrow for the elements!

More Motoring

The second half of the Motoring papers are ready to go!
Here's a reminder of what the whole kit looks like, and the papers alone:


There are two more links for the papers:

Motoring papers 3
Motoring papers 4

Leave some love if you download, and I just might prepare an extra little gift.
And if you like this kit and the other freebies I've given in the past few months, consider following my blog and never miss a freebie!

Motoring: the new freebie!

Fasten your seatbelts everyone, my latest freebie is ready to go!
It's called "Motoring" and both the theme and the title were provided by my hubby, Dave. He suggested a while ago that I do a kit with road signs and "motoring" is what he says (and sings) when our son is walking really fast on all four.
The elements are bright and colourful and the papers offer contrast as there are 10 coloured one and a whole 10 papers in black or grey. I love the contrast of colour on black backgrounds and I sure hope you do too!

Without further ado, here's a preview of the full kit:

Before I give you the first part of the kit, I want to show you a couple of layouts done with it.
First is mine, showing you just how fast my son is on all four:

Second is Émilie's, another gorgeous layout from her! Merci Émilie:

As always we'll start with the papers, and they look like this:

There are quite a few, and they are quite large, so I had to split them in four files. Today you get the first two:

Motoring papers 1
Motoring papers 2

Come back tomorrow for the rest, then elements and alpha.
I hope you like the kit!

I f you like Pina Colada...

...then you should like my latest freebie!
It's actually called Pina Colada and it has sort of an island/summer/Hawaiian feel.

You've seen the sneak peek, now here's the full preview:


Before I give you the links to the papers, check out what Judith did with it! Thanks Judith:


And here's a layout I made (Keiki is child in Hawaiian:)):


Today, you get the papers, they look like this:


And here are the three links to get them (they are all large files, sorry...):

pc papers 1
pc papers 2
pc papers 3

Hope you like it! Leave me some love if you do and come back tomorrow for the elements!

Finally a new freebie!

A week later than usual, I have a new freebie for you!

I had to keep my nephew for a couple of days while he was transitioning between two daycare centres (and he's a busy 3 year old). Then we started building our deck (I have the sunburns to prove it...) and there were a couple of birthday parties. In the midst of all that, I was trying to design the kit and do all the previews, and it took longer than usual.

But here it is: Blooming Orchard.
It's a flowery kit (not my usual style or colours, but here it is anyways), inspired by the flowers growing on fruit trees (which is only starting to happen now where I live). It has apple tree, cherry tree, plum tree and quince tree flowers all extracted by me! I love those flowers.

Here's the full preview so you can get a better idea of what's in it:


Before I give you the links, I want to show you what my CT did with it.
First, a layout done by my sister (my adorable nephew, suntanning on a slide):


Then a gorgeous one by Judith (which she did even though she was sick, her daughter had an ear infection and her son was growing 4 teeth at once, thank you very much Judith):


And here's a little Mother's Day card I did for my Mom with it (it was mother's day yesterday in France!):


Today you get the papers, which look like this:


Go to 4shared to download (there are 3 links, don't forget any!):

BO papers 1
BO papers 2
BO papers 3

I hope you like the kit. If so, leave a little comment and don't forget to come back tomorrow for the elements.

Schatzie's freebie

I have a new freebie for you today! But you should put some sunglasses on, because the colours might hurt your eyes, lol.
The kit is called Schatzie, named after my doggy, and it reflects what I think goes on in her mind! I should say that I took the idea of naming a kit after my puppy from Vicki who has her Pompey and Lily kits, named after her labradors. So Vicki, thank you for the idea!

Here's the preview of the kit:


Are your eyes still okay? Because you'll need them to see the layouts made by Judith and myself.

Judith:


And mine featuring none other than Schatzie:


Today, as usual, you get the papers. They look like this:


You can get them here:

Monochromatic patterned
Multicoloured patterned
Plain

I hope you like the kit, leave me some love if you download, and come back tomorrow for the elements!

Happy NSD and a freebie

Well, I didn't think it would be ready in time, but my kit and the layouts to show it off are all ready to go, so I will start giving to you today, so it will be a NSD freebie! Yay!
This one is called "The Paper Pond" and I'm pretty proud of it... Here's a preview, what do you think?


My one-woman-CT is larger today (two-women-CT) as my sister had some time and offered to scrap a couple of layouts (she ended up doing FOUR!)

First, here's the one Judith made using a picture of the local duck pond (very appropriate don't you think).

And here are 2 of my sister's layouts. I'll show you the other 2 later.



Today you get the papers. Here's what they look like:


There are two links to 4shared:

papers 1
papers 2

Leave me some love if you download. Hope you have a great NSD (or week-end really)!

New freebie: a little vinaigrette anyone?

Today is really exciting for me! First I'm releasing a new freebie that I'm quite proud of... Second, I get to show you layouts from a very unofficial one-woman-CT!

The kit is called Vinaigrette, and that's because that's what inspired it! I was making a salad and realized that I loved the colours of vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper, oil, and lettuce...(weird, I know, but I don't choose what inspires me).
Here's the preview of the whole kit (which includes papers, elements and a full alpha).


Before I give you the download links, let me show you how the kit looks "in use".
You'll see that it can be used to scrap your children, your pets or your handsome cousins...lol
First I want to introduce Judith. I met her around the Scrap Pad (Scrap N'Arts' forum). After seeing a few of my kits, she said she liked my style and volunteered some of her precious time to scrap for me. She has a blog: http://nakiscraps.blogspot.com/ and you should visit regularly as she intends on releasing some freebies in the future...
Here are the two layouts she made, one of her daughter and one of her adorable cats:



Thank you so much Judith!
Next, I want to show you the layout I did with it, which, if you're nice, you will get as a quickpage at the end of the week...lol. I used a picture of my cousin eating salad at christmas. He ketp asking for more, which we thought was funny, and I thought it fit right in the theme of this kit :)


And now, let me show you the preview for the papers, which is what you get today!


For some reason, most of the papers are very large files, and to make the dowloading smoother for everybody, I split them into three files. Don't miss any...

papers 1
papers 2
papers 3

Wow, that was a long post, but hopefully worth it... Come back tomorrow for the elements!
Hope you like it :)

A Sunday freebie kit!

Most new freebies come out on Monday, but mine is ready, and I thought why not?
That way digiscrappers in Australia and New Zealand (and anywhere else in that corner of the world) can get it first thing Monday morning!

The new freebie looks completely different. It's a happy, fresh, spring coloured kit (to make me feel better about the huge dumping of wet snow we had in the pas couple of days).
I struggled a lot with the name but landed on "Spring has sprung". It was almost called "I got bugs" (at least that's what my hubby suggested).

Enough blabla, here are the previews of what you'll get over the next couple of days:



Do you like it? It's funny because it's not really the type of thing I would scrap with, but that's what came to me (it all started with the ladybug actually), and I had a blast making it. The colours make me happy and I hope you'll like it too!

Today you get the papers. I split the downloads in 2 to accommodate people who might not have the fastest Internet connection. Click on the 2 links to take you to 4shared:

papers 1
papers 2

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the elements! And leave me some love if you download, I really enjoy the comments!

Moody (freebie...)!

Let me start by saying that my husband is a genius (just stay with me a minute while I ramble, then I'll get to the freebie part of the post, lol)!

I work on an IMac computer and for those who know them, it's very hard to upgrade, you have to take it apart and gut it. Well, my very talented hubby (tired of hearing me complain about my computer being slow) bought me a brand new 1 terabyte hard drive and installed it for me!!! And he plans on upgrading me to 4 gigs of ram too, so that I can create some more kits for everyone!

Love you Dave!

Now, let's talk freebie...

I was in a really bad mood when I started this kit, so I decided to call it Moody before I even chose the colours. Then I chose to go with grey (still in a bad mood) and added a couple colours, went crazy with stars, and voilà, that's how this one was created!

It's a bit grungy looking but I think it turned out ok. Hope you like it!

Here's a full preview (papers, elements and alpha):

And here's the paper preview, which is what you get today:

They were a bit big this time, so there are two links to go to 4shared and download:

Moody papers 1

Moody papers 2

I  hope everyone enjoys this kit, I had fun making it. Leave me some love if you download (it encourages me to make more...) and check back tomorrow for the elements!

My first freebie kit!

Well, here's what I've been up to this past week... I made my very first freebie kit!
It is called Poppylium because I picked the colours and theme of my logo (the painting I made, seen in my header). I personally love these colours and I do hope some people around scrapland will enjoy the kit.
So without further ado, here's the preview:

I obviously don't have a CT, so I made a layout myself, to show you what the kit looks like in action :)

Today, you get the papers:

Click on the link below to take you to 4shared and download your freebie. And check back tomorrow to get the elements!
