Project 365 Challenge

I was reading the Creating Keepsakes Magazine January 2009 and came across a challenge. It was to take a photo every day of the year and once a week do a simple 2 page layout featuring the 7 photos and 7 journal highlights and a couple of spaces for titling or bling. Or you could have have 7 small photos and 7 big journaling boxes or any combination. Check out the issue for lots of examples and more details. There is even a list of 365 ordinary ideas to help get you started on what you can take a shot of. In the magazine they are showing it done in paper and have a great kit you can purchase for the project. Click Project 365 Kit for more information.

I've decided I wanted to participate in this neat project but I wanted to do it digitally so I created a little template to help out with that. It is a 12x12 PSD template. I am sharing in case you would like to partipate too.

CT wor for Crazy Diamond Plus Freebie

This time I got a chance to work with a fun Halloween kit Crazy Diamond's Haunted House. This was a fun kit to work with. I recolored one of the tomb stones for using to do my own journaling and it may show up as an add on so make sure you check out Crazy Diamond's blog. I've also created some Quick Pages for you as well. My layouts feature last year's Trick or Treating with Times New Roman for the font.

Creative work for Designs by Crazy Diamond

As part of my duties as a Creative Team Member for Crazy Diamond I will be making some quick pages and brag book pages for the different kits I work with. We needed to work out the best way to present these freebies to you. What we decided was that I will host the freebies I make using her kits here on my blog with a link to the store where this kit can be purchased.

So here is my first set of Designs by Crazy Diamond freebies. This set of freebies was made with the great All Aboard Kit. It is available at the DigiScrap Station Store - All Aboard Kit.

I thought this was a great kit and had so many cute elements. Check an earlier post for the Thomas layout made with this kit.

So enjoy your All Aboard Freebies - 2 QP's and 1 BB.

Final Pencil Installment - Skip DigiTreat

Here is the final installment in the DigiTreat Pencil set. I thought these were a lot of fun to create and I continue to learn new things all the time.

Day At the Park Freebie Part Two

Well here is the second part of my first original freebie kit. I'm glad you're stopping by for part two. If you missed Part One just scroll down and you will find it. And as always leave some love and let me know what you think. I used the Color Schemer Studio software to extract colors from the actually photos and with this created a color palette that I used through the kit. Look and see if you can spot the colors in the pictures.

Elements Download


In addition the elements set I'm also featuring the second page of my two page layout. This one features the gang enjoying the park. I loved the saying about the trees and thought it went well with the photos of the boys sitting under the trees. I like the saying so much that I created my first Word Art to include as a bonus to the kit. I usually don't really use a lot of word art but this just seemed to fit the photos well.

Day At the Park Freebie Part One

Well so far Fay has only been a rain issue with a few gusts. Of course looking at some of the models she could continue to be a threat to Florida for another week. We've had no sunshine at all today. Because of the threat of Fay local schools were closed today so instead of my guys doing their school they ended up spending time with their friends at each other's houses and running around outside every time the rain stopped for a while. So while they were busy playing I finally was able to work on my first ever totally all my own idea Freebie Kit. I will offer it in two parts. Part One will be the two sets of a papers and Part Two will be the elements. Watch for Part Two this weekend provided Fay stays as nice to Central Florida as she has so far. Otherwise I will post it as soon as possible. I will probably schedule it but try to up date the personal stuff before it goes live but that way I've got you covered.

The inspiration for this set comes from Munn Park in Downtown Lakeland. And while it doesn't show up well in the preview there are two papers using the image of the fountain found in the park. There is another paper using the image of the statue in the park. There are also two tags in the elements kit featuring these images as well.

Paper Download Part One
Paper Download Part Two

Its really a beautiful little park. My guys were taking classes at the children's museum across the street from the museum. Also in the blocks near the park are some great free form sculptures. So while the boys worked hard at their classes my youngest and I took advantage of the nice spring weather and took a tour of downtown. For the lunch break we picked up sandwiches and ate them in the park along with some of their friends from the class. These pictures are from April 2006.

I created a two page layout with my kit. I will post one page here with the papers and the other page with the elements. The first page highlights the boys' classes and our walk around the sculptures.

And please remember to send you love as this will inspire me to do more.

A New DigiTreats Freebie

Yippee, my back up finished and the hurricane isn't here yet so here's a freebie for you. This is from the DigiTreats family. There will be two more sets of pencils over the next few weeks so watch for new posts.

We are still in the annoying wait and see mode and now there is even one model that projects it coming past us going into the Atlantic and then circling back around for a second hit. Which means this one will probably be gone in time for the next one. But I have some freebies ready so hopefully there will be something for you even if I'm not around.

ADSDesign Collaboration - Zoo Spirit - August 2008

Time for the next great group project. The theme this month is Zoo Spirit. Things were pretty hectic at our house right now. I'm gearing up to start our homeschool up again and dealing with some other issues that have arisen. I saw all the great stuff that was already being prepared for you so I decided to focus my time in creating a whole bunch of critters for you to use. All of these critters are from photos taken by members of my family. My oldest has been blessed with travel for school so we I had some great photos from Uganda in East Africa, South Africa, China, and places in the US. My 3rd born took some really cute pictures of penguins at the aquarium in Bergen, Norway. And I actually had a few zoo pictures myself mostly taken at the Louisville Zoo in Louisville, KY. There is an extracted clear sticker for all of the critters. Then I ran a variety of different actions on the extractions to come up with a variety of critters. I hope you enjoy these additions to the whole Zoo Spirit set.


Remember that we live all over the world and not everyone comes up at the same time. Also remember that while we do our best to have an accurate list life happens to the best of us. So if you find a broken link or a blog that is not participating, please be kind. Also, if you don't see a freebie yet try back to see if they were able to get their contribution up and running. Also, remember that services like 4Shared can sometimes get grumpy when we all try downloading at the same time. So if you have trouble downloading try back later. All links will be for at least one full month so you have plenty of time. Also, remember that some designers put up full kits with lots of extras, others (like myself) focused on one selective item, while others created quick pages and other fun add-ons. When you collect the whole kit you will have plenty of great stuff to work. Remember to leave all these great ladies comments. It really makes our day and makes create Freebies so much more fun. Personally I prefer comments on my blog when possible. Its easier for me to see them and with more than one download you can leave just one comment. Either way love is very motivational.

Here are the links. There are 4 sets of critters make sure you grab them all.

It's Finally Here - Run Note Stickies

I've been working on the next ADSDesign collaboration but I did take the time out today to finally work on my new design name. I have a new simpler Term of Use. So now that I think I have my act together I'm ready to release my next freebie. The new prefix to the files is Harbor instead of my initials as well to make it easier for you. I have a few more days work on some other things and then hopefully next week I can begin work on some more DigiTreat add-ons.

Run - Notebook Stickies

I hope you enjoy these. And I do appreciate the thanks. It really makes my day.

Skip Freebie for you

Well I decided I had a few minutes to between projects so I decided to quick post my next freebie. These are another addition to the DigiTreat ABC series. These notes are for the Skip set. I will be posting the Run Note Stickies sometime next week hopefully. If you missed the Jump set there are down a few entries so go look for them while the link is still active.

Jump Freebie

I've started to do some designing and having something pretty big and exciting coming up in July but in the meantime I've been working on some stuff for my favorite DigiTreat ABC sets. Since we homeschool and I've been working a lot on our school items I think I'll work on school themed stuff in the DigiTreat ABC color sets. I'm not sure how often I'll post but there should be a little something every now and then. This first offering is in the Jump Colors. It is a set of sticky notes with a notebook look to them. I used them in a layout further down about Nature Fest if you want to see them action. So with out further talk here is my first freebie.
