30 FREE PHOTO ACTIONS!!

I have to tell you that I have recently started using Photoshop. I am absolutely loving it!! One of the coolest things about it is all of the actions you can get. I've been using quite a few lately, they really can change a ho-hum photo into a WOW photo!! I was just going through the SnapandScrap forums today, and found this link (thanks Gill) to 30 FREE PHOTO ACTIONS!!

Here is an example of what these actions can do with just a click of the mouse.

BEFORE

AFTER

I used the 'SUNSHINE IN YOUR HAND' action for this photo and the results speak for themselves!!

You can download the free actions here.

I just finished a new layout. I used one of the actions on this photo too, but I can't remember which one sorry!!

I used:-
Renewal Freebie Kit - Michelle Coleman (http://www.littledreamerdesigns.com/)

Promise Freebie Kit - The Shabby Princess (http://www.theshabbyprincess.com/)

Painted Season Freebie Kit - Miss Mint (http://www.peppermintcreative.com/)

Loveable Kit - Michelle Coleman (http://www.littledreamerdesigns.com/)

You may have noticed a change in my scrapping style lately. I haven't actually changed my style, more as gone back to it. I think I may have gotten a little caught up in the whole 'less is more' style and once you do that, it is suprisingly difficult to get back into scrapping with elements. I had actually forgotten how much fun it can be to use all of the fun elements that are around. So you may still see the occasional minimalistic layout from me, but I really have grown quite bored with it and will be trying to develop better skills using elements from now on!

Now that I have stopped hosting challenges on my blog, I have started to try my hand at some of the cool challenges in the snapandscrap forum. If you are looking for a REAL challenge, go and join in the Add-It-On Challenge, or this month's Colour Challenge!! You can find them and a whole heap more at http://www.snapandscrap.net/ in the forums. Plus, you get a download from the monthly teamkit for every challenge that you enter!!!!

It's been a while, but I finally have a little freebie for you!!

You can download it HERE.

Hope you like it!!

I also wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to Kami for being a wonderful CT member and support for me. Kami is taking a bit of a break and will no longer be a member of the Scrap'it Team.

Cheers,

Bree :)

DUSKY SUNSET FREEBIE & CHALLENGE!!

WOW......what a week!! I feel like I've hardly had time to stop!! What with watching Nelly for my good friend 3 days a week now, playgroup, family dinners, designing and housework, I've hardly had any quality time with the girls, let alone had time to scrap!! This week has just flow by! Because of all this, I didn't quite get the complete 'Dusky Sunset Kit' finished, so even though it is this week's freebie & challenge, I won't be able to offer the full kit up as a prize.....yet....but I think I might have a suitable substitute. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself!! This week's freebie is:-

For this week's challenge, download the Dusky Sunset Freebie here. Create a layout using the entire freebie kit, plus any additional elements or pp you wish. The twist is that you MUST use a photo that has either been taken at an unusual angle or that has been cropped in an unusual manner. You MUST include some form of Journaling. Link your layout in the comments section below, or pm me with the link & I will do it for you. Here's mine:-

4 winners will be randomly drawn and will receive this prize:-

SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.......This week I have decided to add an extra prize, a secret door prize I guess you would call it. I have picked a secret number and if you are that number to link your challenge lo, you will instantly win:-

Ok, so that's about it for this week. Don't forget that my CT call is still open (closes 1st March) If you are interested in receiving all of my stuff to use in your layouts, please see the post below!

Have a great week everyone.......cheers :)
