Good Thanksgiving morning to you all!

While I have been away from blogspot for awhile, I am still creating daily. Sometimes I don't get it on even my website, but I'm happy to announce that all of November is up including today over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics!

The picture above is just a few of the items posted over the last 2 months. October has only a half a month posted.

Halloween came and went.

Now, it's the day to give thanks. Of course, we are thankful every day. There is so much to be thankful for.

It will be a nice, easy day for me. No cooking. But we will still celebrate!

While we are being thankful for all the good in our life, remember to also be greatful for the bad! We learn our lessons from the bad times.

I know when I make a major mistake, I think, "I don't want to do that again!", and I begin planning a way to NOT let it happen again. Solving problems is one of the things I am thankful for. I thank God for the mind he has given me, and all my abilities.

When your cloud is heavy and grey, look for it's silver lining. Balancing out the bad with the good aspects really do help ... and it makes us much happier! Turn your bad memories ... into good ones.

Have a blessed day.

Head over to Easy As Pie Daily Graphics, and pick up the free graphics!

Enjoy; God bless.

August and September Graphics

Good afternoon,

One more post featuring a few items I've done in the last month and a half. This one is from September and was done yesterday, I believe.

It's a card front.


I still enoy creating my own fantasty cartoons, and here is Frederick; mild mannered Frederick. Good for another card.

This is a Cosmic Blob character named Libby. I've shown you some abbreviated steps in creating her. And then again, Frederick, with bigger feet and a different face. His left hand could be holding a spear.

This final creation is from August, and it's a story creation. This actually happened to me one night on the way home from work. Before I totally forgot about it, I decided to capture the memory in a journal block.

Enjoying the process ... as always.

Good morning!

Today's creation: a gold border, and a flower deco. There are 3 versions of this flower on my website today for 7/7/11 and another larger deco flower. The gold border is longer. This is a partial view. The items are part of yesterday's offerings.

Hope you have a fantastic day!

Cards: Make It Yourself--Free Graphics

Good morning,

I've been busily making cards this last weekend. I made about 6-8 cards, and I'm always making more.

Today, at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics, I have this card's items available. See picture above for the card front. Print onto the cardstock of your choice, leaving room for the back of the card, and decorate as you wish. I love the colors of this card.

This little deco decorates the center of the card -- or you can leave it off and use it on the inside. This shows the deco in it's larger size, but it comes two sizes. The larger size and the small size.

I now have nineteen (19) days of graphics up: at least 3 new graphics each day. Head on over to pick them up.

We had several beautiful days in a row: yahoo! This week, they predicted rain for every day but Thursday. We were blessed, because it started yesterday, but we managed to squeeze in one more fairly pretty day - except for the powerful breeze.

Hope this is a good week for you.

Personally, my husband has a son in the hospital. He's 32. He is on dialysis, but his liver is failing. My husband will take this week to go visit him in his final days. He'll leave mid week, and come back mid week next week. It is ... a sad time.

Til later.

The final free graphics of March 2011-Grab them NOW

Good morning,

It is almost the end of March, and the final graphics are all up at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics. At least until Friday. So grab what you want today or no later than tomorrow.

These are some of the items from each day from the 25th to the 31st.

It's been a busy weekend and week. My granddaughter is having spring break in TN with her dad, and we all miss her, as usual, when she's gone.

My weight watcher's life change is going well. I am continuing to drop the pounds. Ahhh! This is so nice -- and easy, too!

My newest granddaughter is learning new things. She loves Cheerio's now, mostly for texture, but loves it when she gets one in her mouth, too. My daughter texted me yesterday that she is experimenting with standing and clapping. Whoa! That is fantastic.

She also is playing around with going from sitting to laying, rolling over, and back up. She gets in the crawl position, but has not yet figured out what to do with this new position. She'll get it.

It's so exciting, getting these texts.

I will visit on Friday, as I usually do. I will miss seeing my oldest granddaughter this week. But, I'm sure she's having some fun times, and hopefully, she's not too homesick.

I hope you all have a good rest of the month! Remember to grab March's free graphics!

Take care.

Free Download Kits-Png and PSP-Frames 1 and 2

Good morning,

It's Sunday, and I'm getting caught up on my blog posts. So you're seeing the oldest items right now, but they are still on my website all this month of February!

The first is Frames 2.

This is a picture of a sculpey heart I made. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It's much prettier!

These are two sculpey, digital paper-art butterflies. I made many of these, and I featured two in my last post.

This is Frames 1.

You can read what day the kits are featured by looking at 11f0206, as in the above picture. 11 stands for 2011; the year. f02 is the month: February, and 06 is the day of the month. In this case, it all stands for Feb 6, 2011.

Back in a minute with some more posts.

Red: The New Red Kits--Loving Red; Free Kit Downloads

Good morning!

Since I was not able to post over the last couple of days, I'll take a minute to introduce you to the kits being offered over the last several days. As always, they are free for your use and enjoyment. The Loving Red series has 2 additional days, which will be introduced in the next blog post.

Here a winter card front or use it to frame a picture. Use the box as a journaling box. With winter bringing snow, this inspired me to do this one.

Here's a card front and back kit. I love the color red, so it has been focused on a lot over the last few days.

And finally, another kit.

I hope you are having a terrific week.

Deco Frames For Your Scrapbooking Projects Along with some small Elements

Good morning!

The first kit featured above is today's kit on my website: Decos 2. The original frame in yesterday's kit is just an outline, and it's up to you to decorate as you see fit!

I decorated this frame three different ways, and you are also free to use those, if you wish.

This kit was yesterday's kit: Decos 1, featured 1/5. Left mainly as shapes, so you can color them in as you like, but featuring 2 colored graphics leading into what is offered on 1/6, which is the first kit featured on my blog today.

I hope you'll have fun decorating with these 2 kits.

I published both days this morning. I was making them yesterday, and just ran out of time, so I headed off to work, knowing I would get them up this morning.

It takes longer to convert each one into a png as well as make the psp item.

My kits are mainly "mini" kits. But, you will find many of the items useful in your scrapbooking projects. They will add color and pizazz, hopefully.

Have a great Thursday. Run pick up the kits.

Enjoy!

Kicking Off 2011--Twenty-Eleven-with new FREE art graphics--Smart Froggy Png Download Kit

Good New Year Morning!

2011 ... Twenty-eleven~~~ it has finally arrived.

December 2010 and all 2010 graphics are down! Today starts the new free art graphics for January! This is called Smart Froggy! Very cute. Pick it up today at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics! (Hmmm. He would make a pretty cute sculpey! Think I'll do him!!)

I missed the big ball falling; I knew I would.

We bought champagne and shrimp with cocktail sauce to split. Since we are both early, early risers (like 1:30-2 am type early), we popped the bottle this morning. Hey! It was still dark!

It was yummy as usual.

As of 2:41 am this morning, it was raining. Not a sprinkle, but a fairly good rain. At 3:04 am, we had one long rumble of thunder that lasted a full 30 seconds. That's long.

I get, and sometimes read, Boogie Jack's ALMOST A NEWSLETTER. Today, he is offering a free pdf ebook on Maximum Impact Social Media Tactics. You can read and pick it up here. Just in case you're looking for 77 tips for using social media to help promote your website. (Not an affiliate; just a reader of the newsletter.)

He also sends you to link about 500 Passwords You Should NEVER use. Very interesting. (I haven't ever used any of them.)

I get a lot of my ideas for my graphics from inspiring websites. I get ivillage newsletters, and I always check out what's going on in forums -- all over the web. One link leads to another. After I find something I want to do fun, I start looking for pictures, just so I know how I want to pose my character, when I'm doing characters.

Other times, my whimsical scribbles develop into whimseys. Haven't done any in awhile. Need to do some again. They are fun.

Enjoy your Saturday! I know I will.

And pick up today's graphics!

Girl - Angel - Christmas graphics-all free-@ Easy As Pie Daily Graphics

Good morning!

And THANK YOU, Wall Lights! For leaving a comment the other day. While the blog does take a little time, the website takes even more. I love making my graphics, and I do hope others take them and use them. So thank you so much!

Today's items are over at my website, Easy As Pie Daily Graphics dot com. Head on over and pick them up.

My husband has bought us a new living room set. You can read all about it over at my website, too.

Some days, there's news about my hamster, Betzy, too.

Today, this little girl or angel, are both available. The decorative background is one layer, but it is transparent, so you can choose the color to set it on. There is a green one, and a gold one.

Christmas is such a short time away now. I hope you are all set to go.

I hope to have my 10-year old granddaughter for a visit one day and night this week. She and her family will come over for our celebration on Christmas Eve!! I'm so excited.

My husband special-ordered one of her gifts that we just couldn't find. The store called yesterday, and told him it was ready to pick up. He went and got it ... so she should be very excited this year.

I still have shopping to do for my 7-month old granddaughter. And my husband! I am off all this week, so will get that done early. I am on vacation for the next 2 weeks, and that will give me lots of extra time for my graphics.

I had a luncheon celebration on Thursday with my school-aged granddaughter. It was very nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and my day.

Our annual district Christmas party was Friday, and that, too, was very enjoyable. I made 3 sculpey items: minature Christmas tree decorations, for our white elephant gift game. Twenty-six people decided to play; including me. This is my most favorite tradition of our party for many (and me!).

There are 26 presents and 26 players. The presents all sit together, and we each draw a number. I was #24. The #1 player was a guy, and he was seated at our table, two seats down from me. He chose my little wrapped gift box. He didn't know what they were, till I told him, but he thought they were cute.

My co-worker and friend sitting across from me had a number that came up. As per the rules allow, you may pick a unknown, wrapped gift, or "steal one" from a gift already opened. She has a minature tree at work on her desk, and I'd made a teddy bear ornament for it, so, of course, she stole the 3 new ornaments. She was delighted!

Unfortunately, and to MY SURPRISE, it was stolen away almost at the end by my supervisor's supervisor: a man! (Sorry, Tiff!)

All and all -- it was great fun! And I stole a lady's bear frame with 2 matching bear sculptures. Like I said ... it was great fun!

Now all this week -- there have continued to be many new graphics going up each day on my website, so don't let another minute pass without heading over and grabbing them. Just tuck them aways in a folder. Folder: EAPDG > (folder) 2010 > (folder) December > (folder) the date of the kit. That was easy!

Have a really terrific week ... and go get those graphics!

Happy shopping!

Free Art Graphics in Png Kit Downloads

Good morning,

Something simple this morning; a simple flower kit. (This kit has a psp set inside, so if you download it into a graphics program, you can pick and choose by layers.)

I work in a big company. While my children are all grown up now, and I have grandchildren, I hear my co-workers say how their kids are sick ... and they're trying to decide whether or not to take them to the doctor. I remember those days.

Recently reading a tip from my Woman's World, they mentioned Healthy Children dot org (www.healthychildren.org) where you can input your child's symptoms and it will help you decide when to call the doctor! I think that's very helpful, so I thought I'd mention it here. (Hope this helps, girls!)

Have a great Tuesday!

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!

New PNG graphics kit-Up for September 2010

Good morning!

This is just one of the items in my new PNG KIT on my website. The kit name is: 10s917. The first day 10s917-kit-1a has 10 items. 10s917-kit-1b has 9 items; 1 bonus graphic, and 1 bonus tutorial inside it; for a total of 11 items in kit 1b. So far; the total for this kit is 21 items.

The tutorial shows you how to take a black or white item and make colored items. It's very simple. The tutorials I will give will be "short tutorials", basically sharing how I do simple tricks in PSP (Paint Shop Pro). I use version 9, but I'm sure the tips can be done in most graphic programs, if you know your program well.

On my website, I breakdown the size of each graphic. Most are not overly large, as I do not like to constantly have to re-size LARGE graphics. There will be exceptions, but most of the graphics can be used in a 400 x 500 base or sometimes 500 x 600 base.

The PNG graphics are great for card size. Especially if you use either a word document or an excel document to create your card. They resize beautifully in both programs.

I hope you'll go check it out. Download it and try it. Let me know how it works for you.

Have a great day!

Free PNG file for readers Today

Good morning,

I'm trying something new here today. I hope to post a free download here for the blog. I've never tried that before, but have seen it done on many other blogs.

Ahhh! After reading my help file, it has to be "hosted", so I've made a page to host it.

After you get there, the 3 items are in png format. Right click the zip, save target as -- to your graphics program on your computer. Once it opens, select all, and download into your programs appropriate file.

There are 4 totally different ones that go with this set over at my website. You can find them at:

http://www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com/.

And there are even more still for this set at the forum. Go there to get the password to finish out this collection.

These were made for a black OR very, very dark background. Be creative in their use.

If you download these free graphics, I'd like for you to answer what you liked about each kit, in the guestbook for that page. That is all I ask; and, of course, credit for the graphics I created.

You can find the png I've done for the blog today here. (Come October, all files will come down to make new for new ones.)

Hope you have a terrific day!

Good evening~

It's been awhile since I've posted here or even on my website.

It just got so full; that I took everything down, and started over. At my website, that is.

So yesterday was my first day to put something up.

One month will always be up. This month started on Labor Day, Monday 9/6/10. I will take down all of September's items either on 9/30 ... or possibly 10/2; since that would be a Saturday, and I'll have more time.

Yesterday, I offered items for making a pretty cute card. Graphics are also offered in a download Word document to just print out and put together.

Today, I have a frame. The finished frame features Isabella, the little redhead to the left. She is only a small part of the frame. The full finished project is located at the bottom of my Scrapping page.

You can also see a lot of my scraps over at Scrapbook Flair dot com. I go by "FreckledGranny". This group is very, very active and I post a lot over there. This is a group of the most talented women scrappers I've ever seen. If you haven't checked it out, I would. Consider joining. It's a lot of fun.

Todays feature on my website is the frame, and the different layers are available by layer or in a png format in a zip file.

My new website, www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com, has basically 3 different areas to explore. I feature the free graphics, scrapping (digital scrapbooking), and sculpey clay creations. What you'll see there is some of the items I've made.

Check it out.

Thanks.
