Fantasy Graphics-TimberToes Character

Good morning!

One of my favorite things to do in my creations is create little fantasy creatures. This one was created this morning ... and his name is TimberToes.

I put him in above a box, so the free graphic can be used with any title, quote, picture, etc. that you might want. Color it in. When I use it, it will have a caption something like, "You are so unique!" or "A New Look!", etc.

I've made a bunch of the fanciful creatures over the last two days. I've created Gubby, and also one called TriMesa. She has numerous looks for for eyes, her mouth, and her hats.

Look for these free graphics to be posted around the end of the month.

Till then, keep doodling!

I will.

Quick Frames for Scrapbooking

Good morning!

It's Black Friday, and I imagine everyone is out shopping ... except me! I hate to shop, and dread starting my Christmas shopping. I love to give gifts; I just hate all the running around and trying to find the right thing.

So Happy Shopping to all you shoppers!

As for me; I think I'll just stay home and ... create!

Today's creation is a type of quick template, without all my writing over it, that can be used by you ... insert a picture where the yellow flower is, and viola! A personalized picture. Add your own words.

I actually created this quick frame for blogger, but I do have another very pretty one posted over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics for 11/25/11. Run over and check it out.

I've started EAPDG blog ... on my website, and today, I shared how I get my inspiration for shading and colors. You might find it an interesting read. And, if you do, why not leave a comment at the end of that particular article. It doesn't post online, but I can add your comments if you wish them to be added. Basically, it just sends me an email, letting me know a comment was made so I can read it.

While I use my graphics for lots of things, I love to use them in my scrapping and scrapbooking. I use them in my cards, in my sculpey, and any way I can think to use them.

Why NOT snag them for your own scrapping projects? Put them in your scrapbook. Cut them out, paste them onto cardboard or thicker papers and add them as decorations to your creations. It's lots of fun!

I really love creating. And one day, when I can finally retire, I hope to be creating FULL TIME.

If you have a frame I've posted that you'd like to have a picture of a loved one in, please write me, and send me the picture. After its created, you will get the jpg back, as well as a word document with the picture posted inside for you to print out on photo paper. It's very easy to do. Frame it; give it as a gift! They're marvelous!

After all, YOU deserve the BEST!

Thanksgiving was wonderful yesterday. We had a lovely meal, and a very restful day. So much to be thankful for. I heard from all 3 of my children; and that is always such a blessing.

One thing I'm thankful for are joyful surprises! On Tuesday, after working way late, then stopping by my daughters, and finally the grocery, I was so tired I could hardly wait to get home.

Bending down to read items on a shelf, a little elderly lady came around the corner. She kind of stopped, and looked at me. All of a sudden, she said, "My! What beautiful hair you have!" Immediately a smile crossed my face, and I gushed, "Thank you!" It was such a little thing, but such a joyful surprise. She'll never know how much she brightened my hard day! "Thank you, whoever you are. It was so thoughtful and kind!"

The next time I notice something extraordinary about someone ... I'm going to tell them. Joy can surprise you when you least expect it!

Blessings to you.

Patterns in Flowers

Good morning,

A patterned flower can add interest and texture to your graphics.

Today, I am offering the settings I used to achieve this patterned flower. To see more, just head over to Easy As Pie Daily Graphics. It's in 7/3/11's menu.

From the menu page of daily graphics, you just click each day and it opens. Simply click it closed, as each day opens in it's own window, but the menu page remains open. It's a simple and fast way to view the days without having to maneuver back or forward. Easier for me, too!

Here is a smaller picture of all 3 flowers finished, and the pattern that was used in the upper left picture. The lower right shows a pattern I'd created already and the flower merged together (left). The picture to the right of it, is fthe final pattern, and then the settings below them both. It's bigger on EAPDG.

I do use Paint Shop Pro, vs. 9, but I'm sure the ideas are pretty much the same in other programs.

Hope you find this useful in your creations. I also tell you in today's sharing, how to put the pattern in the flowers.

Have a terrific Sunday!

1/1/2010: Double Post for 2 days: Happy New Year!

Good evening,

I hope you had a good New Year's Eve, and that you're not hung over today.

I went to bed last night, and totally missed the ball.

This year was the first year, I believe, that my granddaughter did not spend the big evening with me. It was just a lazy evening for us.

My creation today: Happy New Year

There are 2 days worth of items on my website.

Yesterday got away from me, and I did not get things posted, so it's all there today. Grab 'em, if you want 'em.


This was a creation I did that was just playing around.

I posted it for yesterday's creation.

My granddaughter called me today out of blue. It was so thoughtful and nice.

She wanted to come over to my house, but her mom said they are just taking it easy today. I know she wants to go to the store, since she didn't get what she wanted the other day. I promised I'd take her when she does come over.

They will probably be over sometime this weekend. Then we'll go.

My vacation is almost to an end. Just the weekend left, and then back to lots of work, I'm sure, on Monday.

It has been a wonderful 2 weeks off. I will never hesitate to do this again. It has been so refreshing and relaxing.

Have a great evening.

Mon. 12/28/09: Connected By Love Frame

Good afternoon,

My granddaughter is with me today, and we just finished making our own bracelets. What fun! Working with memory wire was a challenge when finishing up the bracelet, but I just turned the ends back into each side of the bracelet, and that works fine.

We are both now wearing our cute little bracelets.

The creation for today is called CONNECTED BY LOVE.

On my own rendition, I have a wonderful picture featuring my daughter and her daughter as they huddle over her birthday cupcakes back when she turned 8 years old. She's much older now: 9!

I left the picture area blank, so you can fill it in when your own picture.

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, you can see my finished creation posted there.

Remember to pick up the free graphics at my website today. Some of the items used in my creations are usually featured. Sometimes, there's additional/other items. Whatever is featured, you can add it to your digital scrapping stash.

I turned my finished creation into a physical creation and added a frame. It is so cute, and I've done it to give to my daughter. Maybe she'll take it to work and put it on her desk!

Have a terrific day! I know I am!

Recharging Over The Holiday with Art

Good morning to you!

Two posts for today, as I missed the last few days. My website takes a great deal of time to prepare each day.

There are tons of graphics there since it has been up 48 days now. If you need accessories for your art creations, you can find plenty over at my new place. Go through them. Pick and choose the ones you like, and then freely use them.

If you like them, let me know by signing my guest book. A little feedback is food for the soul, you know.

The place?
http://www.easyaspiedailygraphics.com

You can find some of the accessories used in the first picture over there.

This second picture was one I did several days ago, and meant to post. Never got here, so I'm posting both today.

Again, you can find a lot over at Easy As Pie Daily Graphics!

Today may be Thursday, but today is my Friday. I am taking the next 10 days as vacation. I feel a need to rest, and just have some more fun with my art endeavors.

I've purchased a Cricut Expression as well as the Design Studio, and while I got to play with it a little on Sunday, I need much more time. I really want to play with the software to see what all I can do with it.

And, of course, I wouldn't mind doing a little more sculpeys.

I'm running on about 4 1/2 hours of sleep this morning, so it's bound to be a wild day. I get off at 3, so I should be fine.

Looking forward to Memorial Day, and the weather that promises to be just beautiful.

Take care. And see you soon!
