I will upload a logo and TOU tonight. All my items have been qc'ed and updated. They are ready to go: 8 cardstock, 6 pattern papers, 17 elements.
Cintia if you are still willing to make the big preview that would be great. I work part-time as a loan officer and I started a new loan yesterday so that will be my focus the next few days. If not let me know and I will try to get to it. Thanks!
As we are all in the same place concerning preview (LOL) I decided to give it a go. I did one preview ( I didn't add our badges, only a digitalscrapbook.com one because I don't have all of them; but there is room for them to be included.) I uploaded the preview in the dropbox so you can all take a look.
@Shelley: I would love for you to upload my part and provide direct download links. The file I uploaded to the dropbox is the final one (There is a preview of my part, TOU and the png and JPEG files) I'll make a post in my blog directing people to your blog to downloads. Sounds good?
@Violet:Your parts are so lovely (as usual!) but they are flawed in the preview because I had to erase the backgroumd and turn them into a png. Could you send me a png file to include in the preview so it would not be flawed? They can be all together in one flat image if you'd like but with transparent background. They can also be small, just to fit the preview... Take a look at the preview I uploaded to dropbox and you'll understand what I'm saying.
@Cat: I added your paper in the preview, should I add the glitters too?
Cintia - your preview is wonderful! Thank you so much for doing that! Sorry about my stuff not yet being finalized. I got behind. If I finish it up today can you switch things out? Specifically the template will be different, and I would love to have a couple of the starry elements a little bigger because they seem to be getting lost, which I realize wasn't possible when they were all stuck on one sheet.
I will get my logo and TOU to you...
I'm not sure what's happening in terms of blogs and downloads and such. Are we zipping it as one big kit and each providing a link to the same download on our blogs?
I will make an individual preview of my parts as well.
You guys are awesome, I am so glad to be on a team with you!
@ Shelley: I'll go back and download what is missing and update the preview.
@Violet: I'll wait until tomorrow sounds fine? About the downloads, I guess Shelley will be providing direct download links from her blog unless you'd like something different...
I can combine the kit and do links for elements, papers, etc and give it to you each so you can list it on your blog. Or I can do individual links for each of us and then we can post our link and a link to the other blogs for others to visit. I am good with either. Just let me know what you think.
Should we include Catherine's paper if we don't have her TOU???
Great job everyone, I think it turned out really good! Thanks Cintia for doing the preview. As soon as you are able to finalize it with my missing parts and Violet's final parts I will get to work on the links.
I'm good with either too Shelley,
About Cat, well that's a good question... I guess if she doesn't give us her ok, we don't include. I'd have to remove it from the preview too...
Such a shame about Catherine's, it's such a beautiful paper. I really do hope she's okay... Have either of you seen her post in any other threads on PS since she disappeared from this one?
As far as how to break things up for download... Hmm... I think for this it will be most fun to have this be a total collab kit, with our stuff all combined together. That fits best for me with the "Pass the Kit" idea - this wasn't a blog train where everyone had a theme and a palette and made their own thing, this was a project where we inspired each other piece by piece (sorta ). So Shelley once we have everything (and I'll let you know when all my parts are in, hopefully by tomorrow) you can bundle and split and zip as you see fit, upload it, and give us the links to post on our blogs, as long as that plan works for you.
Because I like seeing what other make and showing off what I make, I would also like to make a preview of my own parts (possibly two, I might put the constellations in their own preview because I think they're so dramatic and pretty that way) that I will post in the Pass the Kit final thread and on my own blog. If you two have individual previews of your parts I will post those on my blog as well, and you can choose whether or not to post mine on your blogs, I am completely fine if you don't.
So now just to finish everything up! You two are so speedy - I decided to do a few techniques I've never done before this time around and so there has been a lot of tutorial-reading and experimenting adding time to the process.
I haven't seen her post in here but she did a post on her blog on Saturday. It doesn't seem like her to just disappear, but she knew the timeline we had and we have tried contacting her. It is strange that she just disappeared after her first paper.
I like the idea of a combined kit download too so I will do it that way then I will post a text document in dropbox with the links so only we have access to them before we post it.
I plan on making an individual preview too. It will make it easier to see it in a smaller preview and also showcases what we did individual as well as collaboratively.
It's good to try new things! I took a designer mentor class this past summer that really helped. I've also done some scanning and extracting so I try to do use at least one of those in each kit I make. For this one the texture on the card stock is my scanned texture. While I love using CU, it's fun to have some completely original items as well. I am amazed at the PS Designers who create CU-ok kits every time. I couldn't do that, it would take me FOREVER to finish just one.
I think everything turned out great and we have a very nice kit to give away.
I noticed something missing that I thought the kit should have so I added two stars, can you add those to the preview tomorrow when you add the other items? Thanks for doing the preview, I know they can be a lot of work sometimes!
I'm still fiddling with things, especially with compression for smaller sizes, etc. So everything in the "Violet's Final Designs" folder is good for you to use, Cintia, for preview, but not for putting in the final download, Shelley. I'll upload a zip with my part when everything is finished, and let you know here that it's good to go.
Ok girls, I'll add the stars and your designs Violet. I'll also remove Cat's parts. I also hope everything is fine with her. (Sometimes RL gets in the way...)
Hugs girls! I believe we did a good job!
Hi girls,
just passing here to tell you I uploaded the final version of our preview. I still used only digitalscrapbook.com badge because i could not find Violet's one. I also figured that as we are going to make individual previews, this won't be an issue right? If you'd like me to include our badges say so and I'll do. There is still time.
Edit: I had forgoten one string from Shelley (Sorry SHelley!) so I updated the preview to include it. I guess everything is in there now but please let me know if I forgot anything!
Hugs!
Hi girls... I am so very sorry for disappearing on you.
Real life did get in the way big time... I haven't designed a single thing or even scrapped a page since I made that first paper! I haven't even logged into DigitalScrapbook.com until today.
I love what you guys have made... the celestial them is perfect and everything is beautiful!
If you'd like to use the paper I made and the glitter styles, that would be okay with me. I can drop a TOU in the db folder. But if its too much work to change the preview around that's okay too.
Glad it was just real life and not something serious, Catherine! Cintia, can we add Catherine's parts to the preview? If you don't have time or don't want to make anymore changes and you have the preview in a PSD or TIFF you can email it to me and I can add them. It's completely up to you.
As soon as Violet gives me the ok for her parts I will create the links and add them in a text document in DB.
I hope my being so last minute isn't frustrating or anxiety-provoking for you! I had hoped to finalize everything today but I had a 9am-9pm day (got a little done in the car between appointments but laptop & car ergonomics don't mix well) and I'm exhausted. Tomorrow my day ends in the early afternoon and I promise I'll have it all done by then.
Catherine, welcome back! Your paper is so gorgeous and your glitters are wonderful (I used them to make my constellations, thank you!); I am so glad we're going to get to include them in the kit.
Hi girls, I'll add Cat's part again in the preview and update in a moment. I'm glad everything is fine Cat!
Don't worry girls, we still have time. Go team Adv 2!!!!
Hi girls, it's me again:
I made a fresh new preview, you can take a look and see how it is now. (I made a new folder named final kit previews because I added a papers only preview and a elements only preview. I never do that but I think our beautiful papers deserved a better display... It is not perfect but I hope, with the individual previews people will get a better idea of what they look like.)
I included Cat's paper and glitters.
I also included a S4O, S4H and PU ok highlight in the preview because all our TOUs are sort of the same concerning this.
@Violet: I didn't find your TOU, is it ok to do that for you? If not I can still change that and keep it PU ok. But I'll need to know that ASAP because tomorrow we need everything ready to go...
Looks great Cintia, thanks! Yes please if I can have everyone's TOU's and final items posted as soon as possible today I would like to get the links ready today as tomorrow will be a busy busy day for us since it is Halloween. And I would like to get my blog post scheduled as well as I'm sure some of you will too! I did upload my individual preview if any want to post it on your blog with the full kit and your preview. I will be posting yours as well. But like Violet, if you don't want to no problem. No hurting feelings. Glad we brought it all together in the end and we ended up with a beautiful kit!
Oops... I thought I posted here already but it looks like it didn't stick?
Everything is ready to go. Previews for my parts and a zip file with my final designs, TOU, and credits page are in the "Violet's Part" folder.
Thank you Cintia, the new preview looks great! I have altered my TOU to accommodate S4H & S4O so you can put that on the main preview. Sorry I never gave you a logo - it's just the word "Scrumptiously" in Pacifico font, so I don't have a PNG of it or anything...
Thank you Shelley SO much for being our downloads wrangler. Sorry to have delayed you all - I am used to doing things at the last minute; this was a good lesson for me in designing with a group.
Super excited to share our beautiful work with the community!
Ok ladies, the download links are in dropbox. Two for the elements and three for papers. I kept them around 50 MB or less. Hope that's not too big. We have super fast fiber optic internet so I don't know how it goes downloading with slow internet. The styles and template are in with the elements. All previews are in DB as well if you want to post the others individual previews, just check the individual parts folders. I also put them in the preview-tou folder in all the downloads.
Do we want to post to our blogs tomorrow or November 1st? I saw Marisa opened up a "share your results" thread but no one has posted yet. I prefer November 1st as I don't know if I can get the blog post ready tomorrow. Let me know what you all think. If we go with November 1st then I can post it in the thread late Friday night.
I will list them all in the thread so they can choose which one to visit. I used bitly links so we will be able to know how many people download the files.
No, I guess it is perfect. My blog post is scheduled for tomorrow. I guess all we still have to do tomorrow is update the thread Marisa posted here and that's it!
Hey ladies, hope it's alright I made an alpha. I was still working on it and didn't want to delay the preview. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish it in time so I didn't mention it before. But looks like I can finish it up tonight. I was just going to list it on my blog as an extra from me so I don't delay you all since I won't have a link for it until late tonight. But I will also add the the link in DB in case you decide you want to include it in your post. I won't post it in the thread since I don't know that you will all have it in your posts. Does that make sense? Sorry I can be a rambler sometimes!
Oh Shelley, that's perfect! I was doing the same thing (You know what they say about brilliant minds right? ) but mine is not finished yet. I'm glad you where able to finish it! I'll update my post to tell people to go to your blog for the alpha.
Hugs!
I will upload a logo and TOU tonight. All my items have been qc'ed and updated. They are ready to go: 8 cardstock, 6 pattern papers, 17 elements.

Hi Cintia, looks great but I think you grabbed my stuff before the final items were added because a few of my items are missing:
3 flowers
1 button
1 string (purple with a bow in it)
And I deleted the blue leaf.
I am happy to host the download links. Please upload an individual preview if you want one included. Thanks Cintia I have what I need for yours.
Cintia - your preview is wonderful! Thank you so much for doing that! Sorry about my stuff not yet being finalized. I got behind. If I finish it up today can you switch things out?

I'll check in again later today.
Again I'm so so sorry!

Working on the downloads now. Will post here when they are in dropbox!

Thanks Violet, just checked DB and found the TOU and credits!

Mine is:
http://daydreamsndesigns.blogspot.com/
I will list them all in the thread so they can choose which one to visit. I used bitly links so we will be able to know how many people download the files.
Hi girl,
sorry to be so late, my internet is very intermitent today o.o !
my blog is here: http://www.dharianascraps.blogspot.com.br/
Here is Violet's blog link: http://eversoscrumptiously.wordpress.com/
and Cat's: http://thisnthatbycat.blogspot.com.br/
I love our final kit and all the partial previews!!! Amazing work girls, congratulations!!!!!
Thank you Cintia!
So as of right now I plan on posting in the thread and on my blog late tonight after the kids are in bed. Let me know if you want it done differently.
No, I guess it is perfect.
My blog post is scheduled for tomorrow. I guess all we still have to do tomorrow is update the thread Marisa posted here and that's it!
