On The Road Again - FREE Kit

Here is my last scrapbooking kit that I will be making for About.com's Graphic site. I had such fun designing kits for them during the last 2 years. But the time has come to move on and step up creating the layouts that I need for my own family.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words about my kits.

Childhood memories

I grew up on a street called Rutland Ave in my town. I moved there when I was 7 years old. My sister was just born and I was no longer an only child getting all my parent's attention. While in the front yard, soon after moving in, a blond little girl, named Pat came to my house and introduced herself. After that, we spent many, many days together playing and sharing our little lives together.

Recently, we met up again, thanks to Facebook, and had such a good time going over our childhood lives. I put together this scrapbook page to remember that special time in the 50's.

FREEBIE-Round Mat Cut Apart Frame

Here's a freebie that I made for you today. I made a circular mat and sliced it up into sections, so that I could fill the sections with different papers. In the center, I wanted to be able to put a photograph.

By using the clipping mask in PS, you can easily attach your papers and/or photos to the sections. I have included a finished one to give you an idea of how it can look.

Also, in the download, I have included a Style that I made and used on each filled section to make them "pop". Just click on the template to get the download. The template is in .psd format with each section being on a separate layer.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful with your scrapbooking layouts.

A Time to Remember - Free Kit

My newest scrapbook kit, A Time To Remember, is on the About.com's site and free for the taking. I have used blues, reds and yellows for this vintage, Fall kit and hope you find it useful when creating a layout for your scrapbooks.

You'll also find a Quick Page with the kit, if you want to put a layout together quickly, by just adding text and a photo.

Kims October Color Challenge

It IS Fall, right? You'd sure not know it by the 81 degree weather we are having here in the Bay Area of Northern Calif. I don't know whether to start packing away my summer clothes or not. GEESH!

Now I'm free from Photoshop for awhile to get ready for a visit from a couple girlfriends and attend the DSP Laptop Crop at Adobe.
