Color-Popping Beauty for Today

Good morning,

Today's color-popping beauty today could be used any number of ways. Print and cut out the decoration. Make a sticker out of it. Or use the whole thing as a card front.

I love the colors in this one. What do you think?

This will be offered at www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com on Wednesday, 1/16/12. Remember to go pick it up.

My work at home day went fine yesterday. In fact, it was tremendously successful, and all the new little tricks I tried worked beautifully.

Today, I head back into the office. My cube mate will work from home today, and then another co-worker will do so on Thurs. We are the only three in a group of seven that wish to work from home.

Do you get the opportunity to work from home?

I love it as it saves wear and tear on my car, on gas at the pump, and travel time as well as getting ready to go each morning. Top that with making my breakfast to eat at work, 2 snacks, and lunch: and well. You've got some serious time saved.

I felt such a sense of exhileration after completing my day. I hope my cube mate enjoys it today. We keep in touch with those in the office even though we are not there, so I'm excited to see how it goes for her.

I hope you enjoy the graphic for today. I'd love to hear some feedback.

Have a super terrific day today!

See you soon.

Clown-ish Notes

Good morning,

I used my clay clown in one of yesterday's post, and here he is again in a "Clown-ish Note". This first picture is left without any pattern fills, so you can add what you want by hand or by computer.



Here he is again, but with some pattern fills. These will be next Tuesday's, 1/15/2012, post on my website.

Hope you all enjoy these, and that you have a spectacular day.

Our company is promoting "work from home" days now, and today is my first day to work from home. I did it once in the fall while I was doing some computer testing, and had some problems. I had to remain home till it was fixed, which would take some time. But, meanwhile, I was able to do the work I normally do at work, and was given the go-ahead to give it a try.

While I was able to do it, it wasn't totally the results I wanted. This time, I have some new things to try which will make it much better. Wish me luck!

Enjoy today!

Easy As Pie Daily Graphics Still Going Strong

Good morning ... to everyone!

Easy As Pie Daily Graphics is still going strong! If you haven't visited in a while, run on over and check out my free offerings.

The picture above is featured on my website today. You can pick up 2 different base cards, if you're in a hurry to "quick scrap", or download the items separately and print them out and layer them into a card or project. So fun ... easy ... and fast!

There is now a guest book on my today menu page, and if you sign THAT guest book, you will be rightfully thanked for your investment in time signing with a url to 15 additional graphics on a separate page. You can only get there ... with a small amount of effort on your own. Take a minute and go sign the guest book ... and pick up your additional free graphics. And thank you!!!

This next picture above, is just some of the items I offered this week. Most are 50% reduced in size. And remember, this picture is still smaller than what actually posts on my website.

Using the free graphics allows you to throw together a very quick card.

Something new over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics, is that I am now posting a week ahead of schedule. You will find everything up through 1/13/12.

During the week, when I get up, I just start creating. I now keep a diary of my daily creations for my own reference. When Saturday rolls around, I open each day and choose which graphics I'd like to offer. There is usually at least 2 graphics, but more often than not, there are three graphics. Occasionally there are more, like on 1/12/12, I had 5 flowers and one deco box -- that's six items.

I put 15 graphics in set 1 that weren't used at all ... and offer that now as my thank you for signing the guest book. By the way, these will change from time to time, and other sets will be offered. The first set will leave, the new one will arrive. So grab these while you can get them.

I start publishing the new week coming up on Saturday mornings. I finish up on Sunday morning. It is almost 8 am, and everything is published, plus this new post for HomeSpun Graphics Blogspot. That's pretty good.

That is a schedule I can live with.

I still need to add additional sculpey items to my website, and do a post for Cjs Clay and Art Scraps Blogspot. I'll work on that next.

I currently have Oct 2011 (the first 1/2 of the month up), all of November, all of December, and all of January to date. After about six months, I will start taking down October.

It's been a wonderful 2011, and 2012 will be even greater!

This year, starting Tuesday, I will allowed to "work from home" for one day a week. I've done it once before, and I am very excited by this new prospect. It will save wear and tear on my car (and me), and money on gas! And working from home will cut down on interruptions at work.

I will miss working with my co-workers, but heck! It's only one day. And it will be so much nicer when we're all in the office together.

Our days will rotate, but we get to pick and choose, although there always needs to be enough people in the office to cover our customer service lines.

Hey! Quick joke: "Why did the clown go to the doctor?"

"He was feeling "a little funny"!

I think that's cute.

Thank you for that one, Woman's World!

If you scrapbook and like these items, please feel free to comment here ... and get rewarded over at my website! And check out my other blog. Thank you.

Have a terrific week!

Enjoy!

Free Daily Graphics at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics; New Sculpey's

Good Morning ...

This morning's kit over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics, is 3 Little Creepers. Creepers are tiny little madeup fantasy creatures, and they are great for putting on the edge or ends of things. Above is "Toothy" creeper, "Kingy" creeper, and finally, "Singing" creeper. They're doo-dads!

I really wanted to share this little "Goth" creeper, but he's not a digital graphic ... he's a sculpey creation. In this picture, he is standing next to one of my necklaces. I made this necklace several weeks ago, and I've been wearing it several days throughout the week. I love the colors, and it goes great with one of my shirts I wear.

The little "goth" creeper is just a fun little thing I made. Not a necklace, but fun.

Finally, this kit was for yesterday, Saturday.

There are 2 tubes in this kit, meaning I did not create the items, but used photographs I took of the items to tube. They were my Valentine's Day gifts on Monday, and I just loved getting them.

I ran over to my daughter-in-law's blog:

http://hillaryhagler.blogspot.com and read about their first trip of the new year: LAS VEGAS!

Nice pictures, and a very well-written journal of their visit and stay in this colorful, robust, jumping city. My son and she both love Las Vegas, and would love to move there.

As for myself, I went to Las Vegas on my honeymoon. The thing that enthralled me was driving in, and being able to see the strip before we actually got there. The scenery out there is just beautiful. And I loved seeing the sites leading the way.

The only part that I did not like was crossing all that desert! It is really sparse out there, if you're driving. I wouldn't care to drive it again. I'm sure flying in is absolutely gorgeous.

We did enjoy seeing the dam, Lake Meade, and the Grand Canyon on that trip though!

Take care ... and I hope you enjoy the graphics. Pick them up and use them!

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!

Frames and Accessories

Good afternoon,

It has been awhile since I've posted. I am busily working on my daily graphics site:
http://www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com.

So, if you like what you see here, you might want to try my site, as you can pick up all the free graphics.

I just love framing my granddaughter. Isn't she just gorgeous? Oh yes! She definitely is.

This was taken yesterday as a matter of fact. She came to spend Friday evening and night with me. And she loves to pose for my camera. Even more, she likes to take pictures. And she does a very good job at it.

I loved this picture so much, I just wanted to do something special with it. So -- I framed it. On my website, there are different frames for today, so if you need something like this for a loved one or friend, hurry on over.

This is one the accessories I featured today in my extras.

It is very colorful. It's strikingly rich!

There are a total of 12 extras like this, and they are also all free for grabbing.

Now, I would appreciate it if you'd leave a note in my guest book if you like these items. Feedback is always appreciated. If you own a site, you know how it is.

Secondly, I'd be happy to trade links with you, especially if you are in an art-related field. Everyone loves free graphics.

It was a beautiful weekend. It is almost over now, and back to work tomorrow. But I've enjoyed mine immensely.

I was fortunate that my daughter came early yesterday, and she and Taylor spent the day with me. We had a wonderful visit. Being engaged and all, she is always very busy anymore.

And, of course, having Taylor here for any amount of time is always a delight.

Have a great Sunday.

And a great new week.

Till next time.

Free Art at EasyAsPieDailyGraphics

Good evening all!

Here is a delightful little frame I did the last fews days. Don't you know someone or something that would look just right inside this frame?

If so, please feel free to use it!

By the way. Hurry right over to my new website. See below. I am offering 3 free graphics a day for all to use personally or commercially.

While the graphics remain my own, you may put them into any of your creations, and that whole creation is yours. And tell others! Let them know they can pick up these FREE graphics. What's free today will drop into the back room tomorrow.

Alas, you may still pick them up for free though. Well, almost free. To try and track my traffic, I am asking for your name and email address to access the back room. Also asking how you found me. If the autoresponder is working correctly, you should receive your password to enter the back room. Give it time to build up. Three free graphics a day will fill that back room pretty fast!

Graphics (jpgs) should be used in an art program -- such as Paint Shop Pro (I used vs 9) -- to delete any background and create with it from there. Oh, just save the jpg to your computer folder that you set it for it, and use them anywhere!

Since my new website just went up, the first 3 graphics will only be upfront for a few hours. If you wait, you have to pay that minimal price of information to get them. So hurry up! Go there now:

http://www.EasyAsPieDailyGraphics.com

Tell everyone! And thanks!

See you soon.
