If you are in the Dallas area...

...I just started a Dallas Digiscrap group on Facebook; I think if you do a search for it, you'll find it. I also found out there are a ton of "Chris Beasley" people on there. LOL! Well, I do have a pic up, if that helps you find me. :) If you want, you can add me as a friend, and you don't have to be in Dallas to do that.

If you missed it the first time... (Scroll down for a new freebie today, btw.)

I had a request for the Ink Swirl Alpha again, and since I've been meaning to upload it here, I've finally done it. :) You can download it here:

I've also added a poll to the page, although it doesn't seem to be working at the moment. We'll see!

New gold frame available for download

I went back & reworked one of my older layouts from last year, and I made this new gold frame for it. It's a bit of an odd ratio (about 8 inches wide by 7 1/2 inches tall), but it may resize somewhat without looking "weird". :) If you'd like it, you can download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/25827254/333da729/Seebees_Freebies_Basics_Gold_Frame.html

New Ribbons In Bloom ribbon set

I created one of these ribbons for a layout, and I decided I should just go ahead and make a whole set while I was at it. :) These are .jpgs, so there's no shadows added to the files. (There are shadows on the contact sheet, as you can tell.) Affordable and pretty, it's a very colorful accent for layouts. You can view it here:

Seebee's Freebies Basics Photo Clusters for PS/PSE

Now available, these are a rework, of sorts. I took some of the frames from the Old Photo Edges, recolored them and stretched them a bit, and arranged them into clusters of 3 and 5 with custom shadows. (You can delete the shadow layers, if you wish.) Just group your photos to the picture squares by making sure your photo is above that gray-colored square layer. Then, hit Control-G (PSCS2 is Control-Alt-G, and possibly the same way for CS3) to confine the picture to the gray-square. Either open your pictures and add them to the template separately from your layout, then Merge Visible and drag that layer to your layout. Or you can drag all the layers of the template onto your work and add the photos there.

Take Notes Journaling Mats now available

Now available at Digitals! (http://www.digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6656) These are fun little journaling boxes/mats that with that kind of back-to-school feel. :) Fairly inexpensive & cute! Five styles, and each style has both horizontal & vertical versions.

And thanks to Angela for pointing out my little, um...flaw. :D I think it's fixed now. "Everyone makes mistakes" would be my lesson of the day.

New Dream Trip Retro Paper Pack

And now for something completely different. :) Here's a set of 5 coordinating papers with a dash of 50s-60s styling thrown in. Not much more to say other than I hope you enjoy it! You can download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/25827674/6026d77/Seebees_Freebies_DT_Retro_Paper_Pack.html

Dream Trip Apprentice Redo Paper Pack

Everything old is new again. :) I have been wanting to go back & "fix" a few things about the original Magician's Apprentice paper, like the texture. I also corrected the color; now that my monitor is calibrated, the original looked too purple for my liking. The texture is now much, MUCH more subtle. (It is there, but you'll have to zoom in to see it.) And finally, I combined the Apprentice paper with the Magical Jeweltone paper, since they are perfect together. So, you get a redone Apprentice paper, a matching Magical Jeweltone, and a new version of Apprentice with the hat down in the corner as more of an accent piece, plus a sparkle edge. All for the low cost of Zero Dollars and Zero cents. :D Download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/25827154/317b1970/Seebees_Freebies_DT_Apprentice_Redo.html

A comment on comments

I've been having some trouble with Blogger in terms of being able to read my comments here. I'm thinking this is in relation to IE6, but I haven't confirmed this. Anyways, in order to allow me to read the comments, I've currently turned off profile pics. (It keeps loading & reloading them, which is part of the problem.) BUT, I've also turned off the need to be logged into Blogger in order for someone to leave a comment. I figured I'd do this on a trial basis & see how it goes. Comments are being moderated, so they won't show up instantly. But now you should be free to comment on Blogger as well as 4shared; comment wherever you wish. :)

And tomorrow there will be a revamped Dream Trip paper pack available for download. I'm very happy with it, and I think you'll like it, too.

New product! (Scroll down for today's freebie)

Now available exclusively at Digitals! (http://www.digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6552) This kit started out as a simple, non-birthday themed paper pack, and then took on a life of its own. :) Also, I am currently scheduled to host the Designers Element challenge at Digitals next month, and the mini kit will feature *free* companion pieces to this kit. I'm also in the process of scheduling my first crop/chat, and there'll be a free goodie with that, too. :D

Thanks for visiting; hope you're having a great day!

Seebee's Freebies Stitch Set 3

I finished up the new stitch templates this morning. (Let's all say "thanks" to my kids for sleeping in!) Both of these templates have more space available than what is shown. For instance, I could have cut the bracket/parenthesis to take up most of the page, but I dragged it off the page to take up less room. You can either group the template to your paper if you're using PS/PSE, or use the solid-colored template with the Magic Wand to create a selection based on the template shape and cut your paper in that shape. I've included the .psd layered file for PS/PSE users, and then the stitches and templates are in separate .png files, as well. (The papers shown, btw, are from my new Date of Birth kit which should be available starting today at Digitals.) Download the Stitch Set here: http://www.4shared.com/file/25827794/99432ace/Seebees_Freebies_Stitch_Set_3.html

Yes, I still exist. :)

Last week found me taking a break from blogging, mostly thanks to a 3 day headache at the beginning of the week. I've also been working hard on a new kit for Digitals, and there will be free bonuses with that. :) I just started a new stitch template freebie this morning, and my guess is that'll be the first new freebie. My daughter's been keeping me pretty busy and away from the computer lately, but I'm going to a crop Friday night which means lots of time to work on projects, I hope. So...things are coming, I promise!
