Summer Summer Summer – I Love It

Posted on by
8

Summer makes me a totally different person. I feel better both physically and mentally, and the sun and higher temperatures are a gift from above. And most important: I can spend time in my garden!

I love my garden. As I mentioned last year it is my therapy and makes me forget everything else. It doesn’t matter if I have to work hard or just sit back with a book, although the hard work is still taking over most of my time. I hope that next summer the garden will be according to my plans for it. But until then I just embrace it every day.

Enough “happy talk”, I just wanted all of you to know that I’m feeling good at the moment. And that allows me to take a short break from garden work to deliver you some freebies and make up for lost time. Can you believe it’s been more than 2 months?

To get the most of my up-time I decided to bring you a LOAD of freebies in one posting. The theme is “Colours of Summer” but they should be versatile enough to use all year.

01 – Coloured Wooden Frames Bundle (CU)

First up is a 5-pack bundle of coloured wooden page frames.Each frame is 12×12 inches, 300 dpi, PNGs

Happy New Year and Extra Christmas

Now the calendar says 2017, I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year!

To mark the change I have dug up a freebie I made long ago but waited for this special day to post. The name of the template I used is Happy New Year and makes today The Day for giving it to you.

It is a bundle of 5 Paper Packs each containing 30/20 stamped ornamental papers.

On a Personal Note

I hope your New Years Eve was better than mine….. Not that we didn’t get the good food, the champagne and the good time, but some things were not as they use to be.

First of all, the TV-suppliers had a major break down so no TV to all of Denmark. This break down happened about 15 minutes before the biggest Danish New Year tradition – The Queen’s Speech. Luckily, we found a transmission on line, but it wasn’t the same gathering around a computer. The lack of TV also made the night different as we are among those who usually watch some of the traditional New Year shows, but we managed by drinking some extra champagne.

Then just before midnight it was back to the computer to find a transmission of the Town House clock – the only way we would now when the year actually changed. Found it but still not the same as a big screen TV.

After midnight we found out another big difference between living in the country’s capital and in a very small town – The Fireworks. In Copenhagen we were used to a ear deafening feast lasting several hours. Last night we given a nice looking firework display lasting less than 30 min. But that’s OK – the early silence was nice for once.

But, unfortunately, the silence didn’t last. Around 2 am we heard some very loud bangs outside that were NOT fireworks. After checking around we found out that some – probably drunk – idiots had pushed down our marble lion down the front stone steps to make it land all shattered. And to make there “fun” even better they had pulled up our fairy light tree and thrown it on the ground and moved our drying rack one street down. What the H… makes that kind of behaviour necessary? Vandalism never made any sense to me…

But now it’s the day after and the incident is reported to the police (who will probably do nothing but make a note of it) and we have started a new year. Hope the start does not make an example for how it’s going to be.

Now for something more positive…

I found a Christmas Freebie I had forgotten to post!!! So with a belated Merry Christmas you get it here:

Extra Christmas Elements

It’s a big pack of mixed elements made with one of the colour palettes I used for other Christmas freebies and made from some of the posted papers – I hope you will find use for them

That was all from me on this first day of a new year.

All the best to you and yours

It’s the day for the big Christmas 2016 Bundle. But before we get to the big download task I want to share a link with you.

The other day I mentioned the Danish concept “Hygge” and yesterday I found out it has become internationally acknowledged. When The New Yorker writes about it, it’s a trend, right? Read the article, shared by the American Ambassador to Denmark, and become familiar with – and maybe inspired by – Danish Hygge!

Christmas 4 – Back to Nature

Posted on by
1

Today I’m going back to nature.

I have taken some of the nature items connected with Christmas and made you 3 Freebies –  an Alpha, some Papers and a pack of Elements. I think that my new location has taken a bit of the Big City Girl out of me and replaced her with a bit of Nature Girl. But at this time of year it doesn’t bother me.

My Christmas preparations are going fine. But now I have to be honest… There aren’t a lot of them. We don’t give presents, so no shopping or wrapping. We don’t have room for a Christmas tree yet, so no tree decorating. We get the Christmas dinner from the local restaurant, so no cooking. All I have done so far is put up some fairy lights, spread around some candles and a few decorations. This may sound sad to you but you know what: I’m fine with it. It takes the hassle out of the Holidays and gives us more time for what Christmas should be about – being together and having a nice time. And for the Danish concept “Hygge” (badly translated into cozy). It’s kind of a Zen Christmas. If you ever get the chance, you should try it!

But enough of me – let’s get to the Freebies.

Bark Alpha

A full alpha in bark texture. You get A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and a few symbols. They are, of course, in separate PNGs, and you are welcome to use them for CU4CU.

Bark AL previewDOWNLOAD  –  Mediafire     –     Dropbox

Deer Paper Bundle

This bundle contains 3 paper packs with deer patterns. One has “fluffy deer”, one has “gold deer” and the last one has “sparkly deer”. All in brown deer colours. You get 3 x 6 papers all in 12×12 JPGs.

Animal Mix

These darlings have been sitting in my “Sand Box” for a while, but I thinks it’s time to let them out. You get 10 elements – 2 deer, 2 geese, 2 piggies, 2 doves and 2 winter trees. I thought you could use them for something pretty. Cards, tags or something other to your liking. They are all  full size PNGs.

I must go back to my busy Christmas Schedule 😉 See you tomorrow.

Christmas 2 – Bling Papers

Posted on by

I’ve never been a huge fan of Bling. Glitter, gold and sparkly stuff. But for some reason, this year my Christmas feel includes a lot of it… Maybe I’m getting old – or maybe all the wild nature surrounding me now makes me look for something more “pretty”? I don’t know. But I do know that a lot of my Chistmas Freebies will include Bling (the pretty kind 😉 ).

Today’s gift to you is a Paper Pack of Gold Ornamental Papers.I have tried to stay away from the usual red, green and yellow Christmas colours and instead pulled out a pallet of mute lovely Christmassy colours – Hope you like them. This colour choice also make the papers more usable year round.

The PP contains 10 papers 12×12, JPG, and may be used for CU4CU.

By the way…. Our promised white Christmas has been cancelled 🙁 We are actually having early fall temperatures at the moment. Strange feeling. But well, there are still 10 days for the wind to change!

To help the snow on the way I bill be back in a few days with some snowy/icy freebies for your Christmas Collection – no Bling there.

Enjoy this fab month and come back soon.

Lots of Love to you and yours

Good News!

After yet another long break from posting I’m back with good news.

First of all we got our stuff out of storage, so now we only have 500 moving boxes to unpack…. We have our clothes, our furniture and everything else we have been missing for almost a year

Secondly, I have been granted early retirement so I am now “free”. No more municipal demands, no more meetings with caseworkers. I am back to being in control of my own life 🙂

On Monday I celebrated my Birthday (gosh 49!) and my mother came all the way to our little island to join in – Love her!

And soon it will be Christmas 🙂 We have been told there is a chance for a white one this year.

How about that for all good news?

And I have even more of it: Because of my absence I have 3 new freebies for you today.

The first one has been waiting in the archives for a long time, but now it’s finally the right time to share. A Moving Box Alpha to celebrate the return of our belongings.

The second one is a lovely pack of 30 grungy papers in winter tones.

And Finally, a pack of 18 enamel corners in green tones.

For my Members: I am in the process of uploading new stuff to the Members Area, so stay patient, please.

I really hope that your lives are just a little bit as good as mine is at the moment. I will return real soon with a little Christmas Goodies.

Enjoy your December with everything it stands for.

Lots of Love

Autumn – Time for Cosy

Posted on by

As autumn is knocking, it’s time for Cosy….

After a late 5-day heatwave I still enjoy summer-ish days here on the island. I have FINALLY finished with the weed removal and is ready to sow the lawn. It should still be possible to make it grow before it gets too cold. If I succeed you will get a picture 🙂

But you can, however, never be too prepared for autumn. That is why, today, I present you with nothing less than 5 free paper packs with distressed plaid. To me plaid spells autumn/winter and is all time cosy.

Aren’t they amazing? Heat up the chocolate and ring out the mini-marshmellows. It’s time to cosy up 🙂

If anyone is wondering…. We still don’t have our furniture, we still have lack of finances and we still “live in the basement”. I hope our luck will soon change so we can have a normal life – a cosy life.

See you soon.

Lots of Love

Autumn?

Posted on by

Is it Autumn I see and feel outside? Is Summer over already?

I am afraid the answer is Yes! I am starting to feel drawn to knitted sweaters and long trousers, and I am no longer eating salad and ice cream all the time. Autumn is, however, my favourite season, so I’m not like SAD sad, just a bit nostalgic. Autumn don’t have long warm nights, sun tan and 24 hour light.

BUT – Autumn has indoor activities, hot cocoa and lighted candles, and I like that a lot.

That is why I am marking this change in seasons with an appropriate freebie for you: A Tea Pot Pattern Pack.

The pack contains

  • 5 Patters – 1 PAT and 5 Seamless Squares
  • 5 transparent Overlays (PNG)
  • 12 Papers made from the patterns

Everything is full size, 300 dpi, and you can use it for CU4CU.

It’s getting late now – and dark outside – so I think I’ll cuttle up with coffee and one of my autumn favourites – Pancakes (crepes). And maybe it’s time to plan for all my Christmas Freebies…. No, not yet. I need to be sure that summer is over before I take that step.

Enjoy your Sunday – no matter what season you have. I’ll be back soon.

Lots of Love

Gardening – Skills or Luck?

Posted on by

As mentioned before, I am now into gardening – or am I?

It seems almost impossible to keep up with the weeds. Remove them, and 2 days later new ones appear. And now that we have finally had some rain here on the island it’s even worse….

We have not yet been able to sow our lawn due to constant weed, and a garden just isn’t a garden with a dirt patch instead of a lawn! We have considered roll lawn, but even that needs clean soil for success. But gardening is more than flowers and lawn. I have happily been eating tomatoes, potatoes, blueberries and rhubarbs from my own garden and that is a fantastic experience 🙂 .

Weeds vs. produce is a constant fight – does the small amount of fruits and veggies make up for a garden looking like sh..? I don’t think so… The only solution is down on your knees and weeding, weeding, weeding. Gardening Sucks sometimes…

But sometimes you get lucky!

… or lazy. Below is a picture from my garden of a plant that I a few months ago took for weed and planned to remove. But my laziness took over and it was untouched for a few weeks. Hurray for lazy gardening – it turned out to be a beautiful Clematis…..

Gardening - Clematis

Click image to see it in “full bloom”.

Today – to celebrate my gardening skills 🙂 – I am offering you a Paper Pack Bundle Freebie with floral vines in multiple colours.

It contains 7 paper packs – 38 papers total – all 12×12, 300 dpi, and can be used for CU4U.

Triple Tuesday

I have been neglecting you for days now – I’m sorry. And because of that I have made this day into Triple Tuesday. That means you get 3 freebies in one post.

First up is a big pack of Chevron Arrows. I have taken colour palettes from Design Seeds and made 20 arrows and then used Atomic Cupcake Actions to make them in 4 different textures. That gives you a pack of 80 arrows in all to brighten up any layout. Because of the size of this pack into two downloads.

Next I have some Damask Papers for you. It’s a pack named Distressed Pear, not because the pear is in any way in distressed (no fruit was harmed in the making) but more a reference to the colours and textures of the papers 🙂

The pack contains 6 papers for CU4CU.

Last, but no means least, an Alpha. I have made this special summer Water Melon Alpha with Sonarpos’ Water Melon Style. It contains A-Z + Numbers.
