Freebie scrap kit just in time for Independence Day!

As usual, I started putting this scrap element and papers kit together awhile ago, then forgot about it.  Just ran across it this morning, and figured I'd better finish it up and get it online, or wait until next year.  It should be good for 4th of July, Memorial Day, or any patriotic holiday in the U.S.A., so I call it "Patriotic Holiday Party".  Hopefully, it has a little of something for everyone.  Included my usual motorcycle elements, but also have picnic, boating and bbq-ing elements.  And, of course, fireworks!!!  Got some good friends visiting that week that I haven't seen in a year, so I'm really looking forward to it.  Here is a preview of the freebie pack:

Hope you can use some of this kit in your scrapbooks, cards, or other projects.  And I wish you a great holiday!  You can grab the ZIP file here on BOX or from 4Shared here. The file is kinda huge, so if you have trouble downloading it, let me know and I'll split up the files. 
Free for personal use only.   Have fun!  -Kat

Engineer Boot/Biker Boot shaped card freebie!

Another "motorcycle enthusiast" oriented project, from me to you.  The biker (or engineer) boot.  Did you know the straps and buckles serve a purpose?  They are supposed to be tightened so you don't loose your boots in a mishap. Anyway, here is the finished card:

 

 

Engineer Boot / Biker Boot shaped card.

How I did this, was I cut out the template on white cardstock, so the inside could easily be written on.  Then I used spray adhesive to attach it to some textured black cardstock, and cut that out also.

 

 

Template cut out and glued on textured black cardstock.

Please note the parts in the red box.  I shouldn't have glued them to the black, as it made the straps backwards (which would only effect the curved piece) and the buckles were too thick to work with easily.  Instead, use the peices as a template, and just cut the straps on black.  You can use metallic paper for the buckles, or, as I did, use a silver pen or paint on them.  I used my stylis to mark stitches and holes on the straps, and ran it along the bottom to make a sole and heel separation. 
I'm proably as clear as mud, but I'm better at crafting then teaching (but I'm best at making a MESS!) 
Hope you can use this and enjoy making it.  You can download the TEMPLATE HERE ON BOX.  I'd love to get your comments!  Sorry I didn't make an SVG, but I'm having issues with my cutting machine.

Freebie Sunflower Frame for Scrapbooking or Cardmaking.

I was looking around in my folders and found this small sunflower frame I created some time ago.  Perhaps you can make use of it.  It is free for personal use, and you can download the png file HERE on BOX.  Enjoy!  Comments are always appreciated. - Kat

CDAC challenge part 2

Got my second freebie for the CDAC challenge awhile ago, but I am having printing issues.  So, to keep from falling too far behind, I went digital.  The designs I used was from Back to Paper, and I will also be posting it Crafter's Digital Art Center.  Here it is.  What do you think?

Been trying to get my veggie garden planted between all the weather, but hopefully I'll be back soon with another freebie of some kind.  Meanwhile, create and enjoy!  - Kat
 

One more Word Art, this one I say to keep myself on track.

Here's another freebie word art for personal use.  This saying is my own, and helps keep me from getting over-anal about my crafting.  Hope you like it! You can download the png file for this on BOX. Enjoy - Kat

CDAC Progressive Challenge part 1

I decided to enter my first challenge, this one from Crafter's Digital Art Center. I was given the pretty Umbrella digi-stamp, made by Vickie of Nana Vic Digitals, to use.  Now, this might not be my best work, but considering that I chopped a large chunk out of the pad of one finger earlier that day, I thought it came out pretty good!  (Ever try to tie a small bow with your middle finger wrapped up like a fat mummy?)  The little mouse is a doodle of mine.  Just wanted to share!  -Kat

Another WordArt Freebie... this one's for YOU!

We creative types are sometimes hard on ourselves, and when others put our work down ... well, at times it can be crushing.  You might want to put this one over your workspace to help you with that.  (Author is unknown.)

If you missed yesterday's (the craft search engines didn't seem to pick it up), it's a good one for Father's Day.  And there's a link to Bloglovin, if you want to follow my blog (or others) that way.  It's a direct download, just right click, choose size (original is my sugggestion) and save.  These are jpegs, as the ping files didn't seem to load correctly, but if anyone needs the png file, let me know and I'll put them up on Box. As always, free for personal use.  Enjoy!  Kat

UPDATE:  You can now download the png file for this on BOX.

Happy Spring!

It may be old hat to some of you, but up here on the mountain in northern NH, spring has just sprung!  It rained, and everything seemed to green up over night.  Gardens are being tilled, but nobody seems to plant up here until, well, after this weekend.

Sorry I've been MIA, but I've been of poor health as of late and just ran out of energy.  Feeling a bit more perky now, but have to catch up around the house and business.  But I couldn't ignore all you out in blog land, so I've got some files I'll be sticking up as I can this week.

A good way to see when I've got some new stuff is to follow me on Bloglovin.  I love getting all the newest posts of my favorite blogs sent to me each day by email, it saves me so much time.

Here's a bit of free WORD ART that you might find suitable for Father's Day.

 

Just click on the picture, then right click and choose size or open in new page, then save the jpg file.  Free for personal use.  Enjoy!  Kat
