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

Pointy House papercraft gift box templateFREEBIE from me to you.

Hi there, sorry I haven't been around.  Last week was a bad one (ill, smashed foot, little sleep, stuff like that), so I just didn't feel like playing.  Yesterday I decided I needed to make something new to share, and I'm glad I did, it was the most fun I've had in days.
I guess I have a "thing" for boxes and paper houses.  I was looking at the many templates I've collected, and there are tons of them out there, but I wanted to make something slightly different.  I came up with a simple "house box" (though the shape could be used otherwise, I sure) that I call "pointy house" (gee, I'm so clever ... not).  It gave me the opportunity to use up some of the tons of scrap paper I have left from other projects.

"Pointy House" Paper Craft Box - Free Template Download

I made it with tabs for making little houses, etc., but once enclosed it wouldn't be much good as a gift box.  So I cut off the tabs on the next one, and punched holes near the top to tie with ribbon. (Use two ribbons, criss-cross them, gather them up and make a bow.) That worked well, though I'm sure there are other cute ways to close it up.  Then I used my scraps to decorate it.  I made some panels for the roof, so I decided to include panel templates (walls and roof) on an alternate template page.   (These are 98% of the original side, but in the one pictured I actually made them slightly larger than the roof sides. Just so you know, it wasn't the best way to go.)
Here is a thumbnail of the template:

Print this "fit to page".  It's made for a 8.5x11 sheet of cardstock. You can download a png file or a jpg file of either with or without panel templates at BOX or 4Shared.  As usual, it is free for personal use. If you do a project with this and post it on your blog or website, share a link!  Thanks, and ENJOY! - Kat

Freebie alert: Biker Boy over at Sliekje's digi stamp site.

I just love digi stamps, can't get enough of them, and I can't resist Sliekje's cute critters (especially the cats!).  I hadn't visited over there since May, so when I popped by today I was delighted to see the posting from March that I had missed ... it was a cute little boy on his motorcycle.  Or you can use it as a girl, as "he" has a helmet (I'd add a ponytail!). I know lots of you come here for the "biker" stuff I've had, so I thought you'd love this.  And I guess it is about time I told Angelique (Sliekje) how thankful I am for her generosity,  in freely sharing all those wonderful digi drawings she does.
Here is a thumbnail, go to her site for the full size, and to see her other drawings and sites (scroll down, it's under the spring ones she just put up):

I found something on my computer that I will try to get up in a few days.  See you then! - Kat
