The Layouts You Guys Made, and the New Freebie

Well, I almost made it here on Monday (does it count if I started posting it on Monday?...LOL)

Wow! You guys made some seriously awesome layouts with my kits!!
I enjoyed seeing them so much. Here they are for everyone to admire:

And now the Freebie you were waiting for!!!

This kit turned into a monster! It has 12 papers, a full alpha with numbers and punctuation in both patterns, 3 word Ovals, 3 frames, 4 rub-on snowflakes, 2 buttons plus a stitch, 5 bows, 2 garland borders, 3 ribbon ties, 6 ribbons, 1 journal tag, 5 chip charms, 1 word art, 3 stitches, and 4 swirls, and a glittery grid overlay. Everything is in shades of pink, burgundy and silver and there is a winter/holiday theme throughout, although parts of it could be used for Valentines or Love themed pages. It's a little over a GB altogether so I split it into 3 parts for you. Check it out:

Enjoy!

Recognition

I was really excited yesterday to drop into Our Little Scrap World and see my Autumn Jewels freebie listed. She has a great page, even if she only freebie hunts part-time now.
Okay, I'm back to work on this (slowly becoming a) mega-kit.

A couple of things....

Well, I have a new kit in the works, and almost finished, but they have called me into work this week, so it will be Sunday or Monday before I can get it all ready for you. I work for a temp agency, but mostly for just one place (as a cater waiter) and apparently there is a lot going on in the catering world this week, or someone is sick, or whatever. Anyway, it's going to be a doozy of a kit, with a holiday flavor, but hardly traditional, and I think you might love it.
Also, as far as the challenge kit goes.... Yes, lots of people have downloaded it, but it is in a password protected zip-file, so they can't open it afterward. I have gotten a few comments regarding the fact that people were "stealing" it, or getting the password , but that simply isn't the case. I just can't figure out why someone would DL it if they couldn't open it. Maybe they weren't paying attention...LOL. I did have a couple of actual entrants and I will post their LO here when I put up the new kit. The LO's were fab, and I can't wait to show them off
See you then!

Autumn Jewels

Well, 70+ people have downloaded the Add Ons, and I have given out the password exactly ZERO times, so what's up?
I have had NO PARTICIPATION in the Layout Challenge and my feelings are a little hurt, but no mind, I still have a kit for you today. Perhaps you can use it to make me a layout to get the password.
Today's kit is Autumn Jewels, it is richly textured and brings to mind burnout velvet and the like, and there are lots of sparkly elements (I do love shiny stuff...LOL). The flower is a new thing for me, and I'm not sure I'm altogether happy with it, but figured I'd throw it in for good measure, and maybe someone could use it. The alpha is pretty basic, but I needed to balance the bold papers with something a little more simple this time.

A Layout

I finally got out of my funk and made a layout, using my Winternight kit




I can't wait to see yours! (hint hint...LOL)

Add Ons with a Twist

Okay, here's the addons I promised last post, but there's a challenge involved....

The Zip file is PASSWORD PROTECTED! (insert evil laugh here).
You can download it all you want, but you can only open it with the password

"But GrumbleScraps, how do I get the password?" you ask...

All you have to do is send me a layout (or a link to a layout) that you have made with my kits, along with your email address. It doesn't have to be the whole kit on the whole layout, but I would love to see how you guys are using my designs, and then I will email you the password and post your layout here for the world to admire.

Send your layouts to grumblefluff at gmail dot com (you'll have to enter it manually, because I hate spam)

The addons include the alpha to the Winternight kit, which is off-white acrylic with embedded glittery snowflakes, as well as little bits for each of my other kits.

Chilly Freebie

This is my newest creation, Winternight. There's no alpha for it yet, as I am still playing around with it, but it will be available soon...possibly as a challenge-type giveaway, or as part of a mini-kit with leftovers from all the kits...I haven't decided yet. I am super excited about the way the slidemount turned out. I hadn't done a lot with acrylic-type element design and it worked out great. I am so proud of it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Anyway, you can DL it here:

Thanks

You guys are so sweet, thanks for your lovely comments on my newest kit (and the other ones too). It made me glad I shared it instead of sending it off to the recycle bin...LOL
On that subject, you don't have to leave comments every time. I figure if you download it, you like it. If you really love it and you want to tell me how much, or thanks, or whatever that is fab, and always appreciated, but please don't feel obligated to leave me a TFS comment every time you DL one of my kits. I know that most other designers ask for it, and I get where they are coming from, but if you DL , like I DL, 3 or 4 seconds per freebie ends up being another 30 minutes that I could be spending scrapping something with a kit I just got.
So, yes, if you are truly taken aback by one of my creations, or you make something with it you want to share a link to, or you have gotten a bunch of stuff from me and want to say thanks for it all, leave me some love. If you want to leave a TFS just because, I will love that too, but if you love it, and grab it, and don't want to speak up, that's cool too.
Again, Thank You for visiting, and liking my stuff, and sending me sweet comments. I should have another kit out for you guys soon...think winter and metallic, hint hint...LOL

New Kit

I made a new kit. Honestly, I struggled with this one. I love the color combo, but right in the middle of making it, I got designer's block. Anyway, it's not really what I was going for in the beginning, but hopefully someone can get some use out of it.

I Love Pink Sparkly Things!

In celebration of my new computer room curtains, which are very pink and sparkly, I made a new kit to share. It's called Ice Princess and it's also very pink and sparkly:

I also did a layout of it, starring my still gorgeous niece, Caity:

Happy Fluff O' Ween!!!

I have been loving the pastel Halloween kits lately, so I decided to make one too. I has 5 papers and a ton of elements, and a full upper/lower/numbers/punctuation alpha too. I hope you love it as much as I do!
