Halloween PNG Graphics-Free Downloads-Final Day of October 2010

Good Sunday morning to you all ... and Happy Halloween!

These are the Halloween Graphics -- which are FREE downloads -- free every day -- and the final day of October, 2010! Grab the month of October by tomorrow morning (I suggest today), because -- tomorrow; these go down, and November 1st goes up!

This final set has 16 free pngs in the download kit.

Today's set was so much fun to make! I love doing these graphics, and I do hope you can use them -- and share my site with others!

My dad's birthday was yesterday; almost a "spook"! He's been gone now for about 19 years.

My website now has a button on it that allows to share "like" on Facebook. I hope you'll click it!

The free pngs are terrific for designing cards. Most of my graphics are "card-size", and will easily fit with a 500 x 600 base. They are 300 dpi. No horribly-sized graphics to resize. I know when I scrap a picture/s, I want them to be big enough to be seen ... and try to use the graphics for extras.

And speaking of pictures, I read a tip in my favorite magazine ... again ... regarding getting stuck together pictures unstuck. Wish I'd found this tip many moons ago.

Tip: Use a hair dryer to warm them up a little and gently separate. This helps prevent tearing. How wonderful!!! (Thanks, WW!)

Have a Happy Halloween Sunday! And check back for the new month of November!

Enjoy!

Free PNG Halloween graphics -- Halloween Buddies and A Lot More

Good morning,

Halloween is over in a lot of neighborhoods. So sad! But we still have a short time for a few more graphics over at my website.

Today, these Halloween buddies are featured on the blog, and you can pick them up in tomorrow's pack together: 10/31.

On the website, the 2 buddies are featured independently ... and not together--in today's kit.

There's so many graphics for Halloween this month. Check them out. The month of October comes down on Nov.1st.

Free PNGS ... so open them in your graphics program. I work on one computer when I'm doing my graphics, and then I go to my laptop and download just the pngs into my program there.

One working computer has my old system, while my laptop has my new system: 2007. Darn if they don't work differently; and it can be very frustrating.

I've found that trying to download the Word Magazine file just isn't working properly in my new system, so if you want the magazines, you may have to send me an email.

Shopping for the holidays is just around the corner, and Woman's World tipped me off to a store trick. Mirrors!!! Did you know that just catching a sight of yourself in the mirrors can encourage you to spend more? I didn't.

I always look for a mirror when I'm trying on shoes. I want to see how they look on my feet before I buy them. If they don't look great, I don't buy them.

This may be accurate for many shoppers, but I am not your typical shopper. I go in for what I need, and that's usually all I buy. And ... if I don't like it ... I don't buy it. I always sleep on it, most of the time. If it keeps coming back to me, I'll go out and try again. But money is just too easy to spend, so I do take my time making a decision.

The only place that this doesn't work is usually at a craft store. So, I don't go to just "look around" as I'm sure to see something I want. I try to pick up the "on sale items" only. And not pick up too many.

So, if you're getting ready to shop, ask yourself if you think mirrors encourage you to spend more. At least you're bound to think about it the next time you see one.

Have a great day!

Halloween Png Kit Downloads--Pick Them Up Today

Good morning!

The days of October are quickly passing. Halloween is just around the corner.

My pumpkin ghost is the featured free png kit today. It has 22 items.

The flowers at the bottom and the border along the left side in this picture are NOT in the kit, but there are lots of other items.

I've done a few pumpkins ... and a few ghosts over this Halloween, and they've been great fun.

The free pngs kits are finished through Sat. 10/30, so this weekend, I will finish up the last one, and get next week's png kits ready.

Recently, my electricity went out for just a few seconds, but enough time to cause my computer to shut down. It is so frustrating when this happens. When it restarts, the printer/scanner unit has to be unplugged, and replugged to get it to work.

I find myself down under my desk. It's dark, and I can't see which cord to pull. I recently read a great tip to save a plastic tag from bread (not the ties), and label it with pr/sc to find the cord I need. Actually, I wouldn't even need to label it, as just having the tag on it would be enough since I don't have to unplug others. Thanks, Woman's Word! Great idea!

Hoping you have a great day.

Check out my website.

Til later,

Halloween Party-- Free Png Kit

Good early morning!!!

Another wonderful weekend day ... and I thought you might be planning a Halloween party this year.

An invitation always comes in handy for such events, so the items I've created today, could be for just such a party.

They are pngs, so you can put them together in any fashion you wish ... and you can pick them over over at my website.

The first picture could be a finished creation. The second picture is the base I created for this first picture.

These ghostly friends come in several colors and genders. In the finished creation, the blue ghost is hot-tubbing. A merry time for all.

Pick these particular items up on Mon. 10/25.

The Halloween season is quickly coming to an end. So sad ... it's so festive.

I was reading that while Christmas is America's FAVORITE time of year, Halloween ranks as our MOST FUN holiday! I do agree with that.

It's whimsical ... a time of fantasy.

Christmas is wonderful, but there's so much pressure. Buying gifts, and getting them out on time can really be a hallowing experience!

What comes to your mind when you hear the word "home"? I read that it's following family traditions ... especially holiday traditions because these events make the biggest impression on us when we're kids.

By the way. If you're carving your pumpkin ... don't forget to roast the seeds. This was a tradition we had in our home.

Once removed, wash and dry seeds. I left mine a little wet so I could sprinkle salt on them. I'd put them on aluminum foil and roast in the oven until crisp. Take out, and let them cool. While many pry the shells open, I just ate the whole seed. Yummy!

Hurry on over to my website to pick up the free pngs -- right now; they are all free Halloween pngs. Soon, the month of October will end ... and when it does, all those free pngs go bye-bye. You can see past offerings in the downloadable magazine which shows what has been offered in the past.

Have a really great Sunday. And don't forget to enjoy some of the candy this Halloween. Dark and even milk chocolate is benefical to your health ... as is coconut and nuts! Keep is in small doses ... and have a great Halloween!

Party anyone?

Halloween: One Magical Night ... of Transformation-free png downloads

Good afternoon,

It is Friday, and my favorite day. Took off a little early from work due to some "exercises" taking place.

Halloween is such a special night of transformation. This picture today is in honor of this one "magical" night of transformation.

We have so many movies honoring transformation. Super heros! And this is something kids can buy into. I think even adults do, as they don their costumes for their Halloween parties. I used to go ... and I loved it!

This picture could be added to a scrapping project featuring your kids on this night -- this magical night, as they transform.

I know my 10-year old granddaughter is going as a "soccer player" this year. My younger granddaughter, almost 5 months old, is going as a lady bug. I saw the costume on Tuesday after work, and she is going to be just adorable. They both will, of course.

On my website, the free png download kits continue. Hurry on over to pick up the ones you like. Something new every day.

Until my next post ... enjoy this weekend. The weather is still nice, but it's getting colder every day. Won't be long till we're complaining about all the cold, ice, and snow!

Good morning,

Just a little Halloween fun gif this morning.

Everyone knows the evil menaces of Halloween. Those evil creatures that visit us every year on television.

Well, this is Finister Fossilsteen. And she only comes back at Halloween.

She appears normal in the beginning, but as Halloween approaches, her true evil comes out.

I was driving home from work on Friday, and I heard a funny name on the radio. I don't even remember what that name was, but it got me thinking about funny names.

Somehow, this name evolved in my mind, and before I knew it, I was making up a little rhyme about Finister Fossilsteen. Wondering how I was going to remember it all the way home, I put it to a tune, and kept singing it. As I sung it, it also evolved. This is what the final outcome was.

Now I had a rhyme ... but needed an evil creature. Working in my psp, I came up with some new patterns I liked. One looked like an eye and mouth ... so I started there. I didn't know she was going to be Finister Fossilstein at the time, but as I created her, she just popped out.

She didn't actually look evil on the first frame. To me, she looked "kind of mysterious". So I began playing, and before I knew it; I had an animation. I made it run kind of slow so you could actually READ the rhyme. Her face changes as does the little creatures around her.

She is also on my website, as well as today's free png graphics download kit. She will reside there with the kits for the month of October, and then be whisked away.

My 4 1/2 month-old granddaughter is supposed to be "dedicated" today. I spoke to my daughter yesterday, and she's hoping her little one is feeling better by this morning so the dedication can go on. She was "out of sorts" yesterday, and very fussy. She said she'd let me know pretty early whether it would go on as planned or not. I hope she's feeling better.

Her paternal grandparents plan to attend, so we should know by 7:30 am or so, since that's when they need to leave.

Hope you all are well, and that you have a great Sunday.

If you scrapbook, please remember to check out my FREE png graphic download kits over at Easy As Pie Daily graphics.

See you soon!
