Tranquility-A Desktop Wallpaper


I have been busy making masks in the last few days and a spin off was this image which I converted into desktop size- although a bit smaller in this version.
The old engraving I used was of Cotoneaster sp. These have been laden with berries this year. Perhaps we are due for a cold winter?
If you would like a copy for your own desktop, you can download a zip with larger images and instructions, HERE

"In the Pink" Free Scrapbook Extras

Many thanks for all the super comments regarding my "In the Pink Papers!
Here at last some elements which will co-ordinate with the papers.
Again more heritage in style :)
Again, you would really make me happy if you included a link back here if you use them in an online layout.

"In the Pink" Scrapbook papers




When I was creating my last desktop, I really had in mind to make a new scrapkit using again the Fringe flower.


I hope you like these pretty papers which I thought could be used for contemporary or older style images.


Soon I'll add some co-ordinating frames and other extras.


I've placed a zip in my scraps folder on 4 shared. It is free to download HERE.

I'd love a link back to this page if you use the pages in a layout or tags online :)

The Shipping Pages Scrapkit Extras


    I have included as extras for this scrapkit zip:
  • 3 blocks for text [or whatever :) ]

  • 1 brad

  • 1 wee anchor ornament

  • 1 bit of red tape or divider

  • 1 frame [and no it doesn't come complete with Capt Scobie !]

  • 1 stencilled text overlay

I used the font JJ Stencil with some "grungy" texture to create the text overlay. It is available from http://www.haroldsfonts.com.

You can download these extras from my 4shared files HERE or HERE

The "Shipping News" - Heritage Scrapbook Papers

These two backgound pages for a Heritage Album were created to display information for my Family History. I have some antecedants who served in the Royal Navy but I also thought they would suit some of my emigration records too.
In the next posting I will add some extras to decorate the pages :)
If you use them in any online published material, I'd love a link back here :)

One is 1536 X 960 pixels [widescreen]

the second 1280 X 960


You can download a zip with them both, here or here.
