I'm Never Tired of Patterned Prints

I love working with prints until I have a pattern that's just perfect. And I never seem to get tired of it! With the encouragement of some dear friends, I've been making some of these labors of love available as commercial use digital scrapbooking designs in my little shop at NutHouse-Scraps.

I called this new set of patterned overlays Blossom Prints because they are all based on floral designs. I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I do.

They're a black design on a transparent ground for maximum usability. But write me if you have any questions about using them as a designer resource.

Rachael Hudnall used them in her new gorgeous Sweet Summer collection, including a wonderful free quickpage:

More ColourWashed Sets for Designers

I've taken my ColourWashed series a step further with new sets of scenery under-paintings. These are soft suggestions of colors that are ready to take to the next step by Scrapbook Designers. Add textures, edges, details, or designs to these wispy fantasy paper starters for show-stopping results in your next project.

Artists use under-painting techniques as some of the base layers of paintings - they add depth, allow for flow between elements, and provide a wash of color as a base. I think you'll have a great deal of fun with these!

There's 2 different versions, because my designing friends said sometimes they would use the plain, smooth, untextured version and sometimes the one with brush stroke textures. I couldn't find a consensus at all!

Here's a sample one to download for free at NutHouse-Scraps.com:

October THANKFUL Blog Train is Over

100 Designers from all over the world brought us 100 free digital scrapbooking kits with the same color swatches and the same "Thankful" theme. And you had 31 days from October 1st to download them all - for free!

It was an awesome thing to be a part of this blog train ... the free downloads have expired, now. Thanks to all the people who 'built' the train and everyone who followed it! I'll leave my post and photo here for posterity - (edited 8 Nov by deb)

Here's my part, inspired by this wonderful season and theme. I'm giving you some neutrals that will probably go with more than just the Blog Train kits, but you be the judge of that. The little cutie in the sample layout page in the preview is one of my adorable great-nieces. Or are those grand-nieces. Hmmm!



Don't miss the discount coupon in the zip file, friends. Our store owner graciously allowed it for everyone who rides on the Blog Train this month.



I hope you enjoyed this leg of the journey. Thanks for taking the 'scenic route' on the October Thankful Blog Train - see you next time!

May this time of the change of seasons bring a blessing to you and your family,
Big Hugs,
