Vidia, I made a flower (dare I call it that?!!) cog cluster and it turned out beautifully...I put it on my page I posted just now...hope you like it! Thanks again...
You're welcome, Nina, Kathryn and Nathalie! I'll probably make more cogs at some point, especially since I recently scanned a ton of pics of my son when he was younger. I'm going to post a random element mix later this afternoon for PU/CU.
Nina, I'll check it out after dinner. I'm starving! lol
Oh, wow ... thanks, Holly, for checking that for me. I greatly appreciate it! I'm happy to read that saving PSDs in PSP actually works. I really wasn't too sure about that, because sometimes when I open a PSD I get a pop-up saying, "Unsupported Features," though the file opens (I assume I'm missing out on something, but oh well).
In other news, I should have my Spring Forward bundle posted tomorrow or Saturday, depends when I finish with the elements. I'm, hopefully, going to finish them today, so I can post it all tomorrow. Here's a sneak peek using some elements and papers (definitely not all! lol) in a layout I posted a few days ago:
Mmm, new kits for NSD, and without breaking my budget...I like it! (I have NO budget for NSD this year--I'm ordering computer upgrades tomorrow instead!)
You're welcome! I didn't finish the bundle yesterday; since it was so nice outside, I ended up taking my huskies on a 45-mile run. But, I'm going to finish it up today because I have to go to my sister's tomorrow to babysit my nephew.
I'm posting these for Myra, who was looking for horse-related elements. However, anyone else is more than welcome to download them, too. Please keep in my mind, though, that the horses and saddles are under my Shutterstock license, so they are for personal use only (I rewrote my TOU to reflect that).
I don't think I'll be able to get the bundle ready for upload today/tonight. Although I've finished the elements, I still need to make previews. And, well ... I'm exhausted. If I become too tired to finish the previews, which I'm sure I will since I'm already yawning, I'll have everything posted early Saturday morning.
And here is the Spring Forward bundle (finally!). I separated it into PU and CU kits. "Not all shown" means there are some exact same elements but different colors. Oops, I just realized I made a boo-boo on the first preview; it's 300, not 330 dpi. lol
@Nina If you keep telling me I'm awesome, it's going to go to my head. lol Seriously, though, I greatly appreciate all your comments. I've been digi-scrapping for quite a few years, but never put myself out there until I decided to join in on the fun of all Pixelscrapper has to offer (many sites always seemed way too cliche-y for my liking). So, a little validation goes a long way and makes me smile. Then again, I believe everyone, including those who know they're fantastic at designing kits and layouts, wants to hear that their work doesn't go unnoticed and unappreciated. I'll take a looksie at your layout when I'm done going through the forum. (I haven't really looked through the gallery since my return from NY, so I'm way overdue anyway. lol)
Thank you, Robyne, Kathryn, Marcia and BlueCat. Have fun scrapping with SF!
But you are, I keep looking at your work and trying to figure out how you did it so I can try to get where you are at. And you whip everything out so fast!!! Do you make everything using PSP?
Well, thank you very much, Nina! Yes, I only use PSP, along with Eye Candy. I've tried using PS in the past, but I really didn't like it and it's very confusing. I know ... PS is the more professional choice, but I'm not a professional and PSP is way more user-friendly. I have a lot of time on my hands. When I'm not out running/playing with/walking my dogs, I'm usually found on the computer or binge-watching TV shows/movies.
@Everyone I made these for the Designer Challenge: Puffy Glitter Doodles. Happy scrapping!
Ohhh...these are nice! That's funny, because I have psp3 and had a hard time with it...I couldn't figure it out. So my husband bought me ps elements, and I picked it up so easily. However, I'm finding my limitations with elements, and there are things I'm finding that I can't do (like make flairs ). But everything I have seen you make looks so professional...not trying to blow your head up, I just call it as I see it...you do really good!
I've been using PSP for 10 years (long before I began scrapping), so I'm used to it. I've read other people make the same remark about PS Elements--it's limiting--though I've never tried it. I can virtually do everything in PSP that others do in PS, plus PSP is more affordable. It comes down to personal taste, I suppose. Well, I thank you for the compliment (I have difficulty with those lol). I appreciate it!
What a wonderful collection of metal things!

Vidia, the PSD works on PS CS5.5. I don't have 6 or CC to check that, but it should work with them if it'll work with my version.
Thanks Tosia and Poodle! Glad you like them!
Nina, I'll check it out after dinner. I'm starving! lol

And, finally, here is a CU mix:

I left the frame flat, so you could recolor and bevel/glass/whatever as you like.
Thank you! There are some wonderful embellishments in there!
Vidia, that CU mix is SO going directly to my stash! Love the arrow, the leaves, the flower, that nice satin button/brad, that frame...
You're welcome! Enjoy!

Thank you for the sneak peek! Looking forward to this kit!
Vidia, thank you for the CU Mix. It's great! I'm looking forward to seeing your new bundle when you get it finished. Your layout is beautiful.
