Flowers, Ribbons, Strings and Clowns. Oh My!!

Welcome to the First Digi Scrap Connect Blog Train. This blog train is comprised of 24 fabulous designers who have been participating in the Design
Factor Challenge the last 5 weeks. For our 5th challenge, we were required to make an element pack using CU items. Since 1/2 of the items for all the kits
would be coming from the Scrap Matters great challenge freebies, we were worried that we were going to have flowers, ribbons and strings coming out our ears with
this challenge :). We decided to have fun with it and turn it into a great Blog Train by adding some fabulous papers as well. Flowers, Ribbons, and Strings Oh My!! the blog train was born. We hope you have fun collecting the great mini kits. If you get lost along the way, just return to Digi Scrap Connect to find the list of all participants.

Last Week!! Waaaaaaaaaaaah!! Week 5

My gosh time has gone past soooooooo fast. I cannot believe this is the last week of the designer contest at Ivy Scraps. I think in my opinion this has been one of the best contests I have had the complete honour to be in. The people there are soo fantastic and soo nice and all of the other contestants are just wonderful too. I have had a complete blast and I wish it would never end.
LOL..LOL..LOL..Anyhows now onto this week- Week 5. I sooo love heritage kits and I have done a few before. However Jan stipulated in this weeks kit that we needed to make a grosgrain ribbon. Huh??? beg your pardon??? I kinda knew what she meant but I still had to google it to find out for sure that I was not barking up the wrong tree. Anyhows turned out I was on the right track. It turned out pretty good if I may say so myself so I wanted to share it with you all. Hence this weeks freebie is Commercial Use. I made this ribbon from a photo I took and some really cool texture. I am not perfect at making CU products at all but I hope that you get somekind of use out of what I have in the freebie zip file. I have only used png files as they are friendly to all programs. Please make sure you read the CU terms of use and the other notepad file for some really cool ideas and inspiration for making a rockin shiny satin ribbon for your kits.
Now please find below the linkie to download this weeks kit called Me and My Pal and also for the Commercial Use freebie Shiny Satin Ribbon CU. Oh please follow the other linkie here too for voting if you like my stuff. Have fun guys!! Cheers Liz of Lizard Dau Designs

I Have Been Sooo Sick!! Week 4 is Here!!

Hello guys!! I have not been around much because I have been soooo sick! I am fine now cept for a niggling sore throat and the occasional dry cough. But thems the breaks. However I did almost not do a Week 4 entry. I did have most of it done though and was able to finish it with a few days grace from the lovely judges at the Ivy Scraps designer contest. Thanks again guys for allowing me to play along with the others. I soo appreciate your understanding and thoughtfulness. Anyways this weeks challenge was to create a kit entirely made of doodles. Wow what a challenge. LOL..LOL Gosh wow was this soo much fun to play with and create. I have never really made any doodles and I found it heaps of fun to do. The only thing not made by me in this kit is the colour swatch that Digides Designs created for us for the week 4 challenge. I hope this fun little kit gives you as much pleasure as I had in making it. You can still download and leave some love behind. Thanks for everything!! Cheers Liz of Lizard Dau Designs

Unfortunately there is no other freebie this week but catch the post above for a very cool cu
freebie!!

Waaaaaaaaaa HOOOOO!! Week 3

Hummph I am not impressed!! After the PC went in for some TLC she came back looking just like new until I turned her on. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! no internet!! Also to make matters worse one of my 2 monitors blew the power box or something. Well needless to say I am down to 1 monitor and not very happy. Oh well I am too spoilt that is the problem!! Good things come to those who wait I say!! LOL..LOL..LOL Well I tell you what!! There is some amazingly talented ladies taking part in this contest at Ivy Scraps and this week we get to learn all about them and their favourite things. We had to pick one colour and do a monotone kit with shades made from that one colour. I chose green. Gosh I just love green. LOL. So I went with my fave colour at the moment. I tend to change my mind every now and then. I love my kitties so there had to be a kitty or two here, I love handbags as well hence the handbag. The word art is tooo true I certainly do have paw prints on my heart. Oh yes and I had to do something a little different and put the kitties through the paint engine. I sooo hope you like my little piece of heart. Have fun with this funky little scrapping pleasure. Please consider voting for me too when the time comes at Ivy Scraps. You will find all the relevant linkies below. Thanks for your interest. Cheers Liz

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Sad News!!

Hi there folks!! I have some sad news. My PC has gone to the doctors. It has contracted a virus and I cannot offer you any special freebies this week. Although I had started some very cool clusters for you. I cannot finish them because my PC is at the IT techs place getting fixed. Hopefully all should be right by monday. Anyhows I am here at least to let you know what is going on. My faithful laptop is still running well and I can design on it if I need to. Just that resources are more limited on it is all. Here is the kit I have completed for week 2 of the Ivy Scraps contest. This kit is made with no Commercial Use products at all only what my programs offer. So I am pretty proud of the way things turned out. I hope you like them too. Just follow the links at the bottom of this post. Oh and SandEz Creationz has a wonderful freebie on her blog too. So again follow the link at the bottom of the post for more great freebies. Thanks for being so patient. Perhaps there will be 2 freebies here for you next week???. Cheers Liz

Wooo hoo I am soo lucky. Back to back contests and having soo much fun mingling with fellow designers and designing kits right outside the box. I soo love the challenges and the gals at Ivy Scraps have some whiz bangers for us. This week we had to design a masculine kit called Daddy and Me. Gloria had the perfect set of colours. I just loved them. So you will find here a linkie to the contest mini and also an add on I made. Could you please consider going to Ivy Scraps to vote for me and also to download the Daddy and Me mini. Thanks soo much for your time. The linkies are below. Cheers Liz

Wooo Hooo Commercial Use Freebies!!

Hey there peoples this week at Stuff to Scrap we had to design paper overlays. Now you know me I like to do things differently. So I thought about how I go about making my papers and how I can share this process with all of you. I came up with Paper Stackables. I have already done the hard work for you and all you have to do is mix and match, change colours and have fun. These are designed for everybody to use to create their own awesome papers. All of the files are 300 dpi and 12x12 most in png format with the odd few as jpg (these are the base papers which you add colour or a gradient too). This does not mean that these overlays can't be used with others in your stash. In fact go ahead and use them whichever way you see fit. I love being creative and encourage you to experiment with Paper Stackables !! Please be aware that Paper Stackables 1 has a cut out edge to it. Paper Stackables 3 is a little freebie I made for you. The flowers which star in this page have been painted and the white removed so that texture and the writing can show through. In each of the Paper Stackable packs there is a page example. So if you want to cheat you can use it!! LOL..LOL..LOL.. But the big idea here is to be creative and to have heaps of fun playing with the overlays. I soo hope you enjoy these. They will be up for download for a limited time so please hurry and snag them. Oh please don't hesitate to contact me at anytime if you have questions or problems at bethlizard@msn.com Cheers Liz

Creative Busy Hands

Still Standing and it is Week 3

Wow gosh golleeee!! I cannot believe I am still here and standing amongst such talented ladies as those in the Stuff To Scrap Designer Darling Contest. Especially since I made the most stupid mistakes this week. First I forgot to put in my swatch (which I did last week too DUH!!) and now I have discovered that I did not put my TOU in! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!! Now this is the first time I have done so. I mean the thing was looking at me all completed in the working file but not in the zipped file. Gosh I feel soo stupid!! Anyhows I have uploaded it to media fire and you can grab the linkie to it in the forums at Stuff to Scrap here-
http://stufftoscrap.com/forums/showthread.php?4123-Designer-Darling-Round-3-Challenge-and-Preview-Thread along with all the other goodies the girls have made and offer for your scrapping pleasure. There is just ooodles to chose from and such fantastic kits too!! You have just gotta see for yourself!!

This week we had some very cool photos as our inspiration and this is where it led me. Oh where to start!! I saw those lovely pics of peaches and right away I thought of doing a kit with a peach theme. But then I saw how much the children enjoyed the peaches and I thought back to my child hood too to the book called James and the Giant Peach. I had sooo much fun reading the Roald Dahl books and to this day I watch the movies based on her books. I took inspiration from her fantasy novels and made my own fantasy kit with Outlaw by Designs lovely poser fairy dressed in peach blossoms with her pet bee's for company. I loved the way the
giant peach was used like a kinda balloon in the story so I thought I would make my own peach balloon. I so hope that you have as much fun using and playing with this kit as I had making it for you. It has brought many happy memories of reading and fantasising about fun characters and worlds of make believe.

There is 6 papers and 12 elements in the original which you can download here-

Week Two of Stuff to Scrap Designer Contest

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!! Finally I have finished my kit for this week. It took soooooo loooooooooong to make. Doing everything by scratch really slows the whole process down but boy I loved the challenge. I used shapes that came with PSP 12 and 8 as well as photos I took and also a bunch of scans I made. Throw them all in one big heap and there you have Oriental Touch. This little kit was so much fun to make. I hope that you have fun scrapping with it. I promise that no one else's commercial use product has been harmed or used in any manner in conjunction with the creation of this kit. LOL..LOL..LOL..LOL I thought a little spice and interest in the orient might be interesting in a kit. I just love all things oriental and find the culture and art fascinating. Thank you for your interest in my work.

I have on offer for you today a Commercial Use Template called Cutie Panda and you will find her in my Oriental Touch Mini. She is sooooo cute and people have asked about her so I thought I would share. Also later on in the week there is going to be some odds and bodds I did not use in the original kit. So there will be a very cool add on available once the voting begins to help wet your appetite for freebies. I will soon have you slathering at the mouth over all the freebies on offer. Just go and see for yourself at Stuff to Scrap. Cheers Liz of Lizard Dau Designs
