Freebie: "Thankful" Pixel Scrapper October 2013 Blog Train

Thanks for stopping by my little blog for the Pixel Scrapper Blog Train!

Before we get to the freebie, I'd like to do a little shameless self-promoting.  This is my first ever blog train and I had a lot of fun with this color palette.  I am very new to designing and purchased quite a few CU items last month to design with.  I decided to create some coordinating extras (even a Halloween kit!) and sell them in my etsy shop for an extremely reasonable introductory price!  Consider buying one or all three to support this fledgling designer!  Thank you!!

And here is your freebie, enjoy!

Sneak Peek: Coming October 1st!

September's design contest may be over, but I've got the design bug stronger than ever.  Here's a look at what's coming on October 1st - of course there will be a freebie so be sure to stop by!

Freebie: Paris Is Always A Good Idea

Today's freebie concludes this month's series of kits I've created for theStudio's Next Designer Contest.  The prompt was "dream vacation" and I knew right away that I wanted to design a Paris themed kit.  I decided on my color palette, got to work, and had a lot of fun.

At the beginning of September my initial motivation for participating in this contest was the free CU product everyone gets for submitting each week.  But this week I'm secretly hoping I win something because I think that my kit may just be good enough.  It's my biggest so far and I feel I've come a long way in this short amount of time.  I'll let you know if anything exciting happens, hope you like it!  :)

Freebie: Hat of Bunny "Sundown on the Beach" Quick Page

Today my little blog hit 1000 page views since its beginning, yay!  It's the little things, right?!  So I thought I'd celebrate with a little freebie.  I made this quick page using a mini kit from Hat of Bunny - the best part is that if you like this QP, you can get the mini kit for free too!

Freebie: San Fran-Cation

I temporarily lost my mojo this week, I didn't do anything digi scrap related for 5 days straight!  Finally on Friday I decided enough was enough and started a layout for a photo swap at Pixel Scrapper.  I also wanted to participate in week 3 of The Next Designer Challenge at theStudio and was able to eek out this kit on Saturday.  The theme was "staycation", which for me means being a tourist in San Francisco.  Maybe you've been there and you'll find this kit useful to scrap your memories, hope you like it!  :)

I even made a layout with the picture that inspired my kit!  :)

Freebie: Beach Sunset

I participated in Week 2 of The Next Designer contest at theStudio.  The kit requirements were a little larger this time, but you were able to pick your own color palette with the theme Beach Getaway.  I knew right away what picture I wanted to use for my inspiration, and once I got to work it came together pretty nicely. (With plenty of trial and error mixed in, of course!)  Hope you like it, and let me know what you think!  :)
