PSApril13 Birds and Bees Blog Hop


Welcome.  I pray you enjoy.

I'm trying my hand at sharing my digital graphics for scrapbooking.  It is a lot of work, especially on my old laptop, and with the free software GIMP.  My daughter regularly complains about how slow my computer is.  It's around 9 years old, so I just keep babying it.  But slowly, I've been able to make some items I wanted to share with you.

I've been involved with Pixel Scrapper Digital Scrapbooking for several months now, and have actually gotten some digital scrapbooking done, because of encouragement and their challenges there.  It is a community for both those starting out in digital scrapping and those that are designers, or want-to-be's.  It's run by a wonderful, giving couple, Marisa and Jordan.

I thought about participating in their February Blog Train; Retro Kitchen, but wasn't really ready yet.  So I've been playing with designing more, and have made a few designs I'll share with you, during their April Blog Train; the Birds and the Bees.

I'm still learning how to do all of this, from the digital designing to the composing and working with a Blog, setting up e-mail accounts, and sites to host the files....so please be patient with me.  I've also tried to separate the elements and papers so that Google Drive will allow the files to be scanned for you before you download...hopefully this all has worked.

Well, I've continued to battle with my computer this week, trying to get things ready for April 1.  I experienced all sorts of trouble when zipping the files, like having the names truncated.  But I think I've gotten at least most of the bugs out.

I've tried to tag my files in Picasa for you as well, but apparently it isn't working on the main 12x12 paper's zip.

Don't miss any of the pieces, be sure you get all 3, either from the photos or the links below.

To download click on the photos, and if you are directed to another page it should have the NAME of the ZIP file, on the new page.  Just under that name, you should find FILE...click
FILE > DOWNLOAD, if you don't get a direct download.

If clicking on the photos above doesn't take you to the download page, you can click on these links.  In my testing it was asking for the user to log into Google...if this happens and you don't have an account, please let me know and I'll try adjusting things again.


~Sorry Links have expired~

Since it's my first time designing for others, I'd love it if you would please leave a comment here or in Pixel Scrapper forums, about what you enjoyed about them, or anything that you had trouble with.

The Blog Train can be found here.  There are many others with some wonderful contributions, so you'll end up with a MEGA kit!  You don't need to join the community there to enjoy the blog train contributions, but we'd love to have you.  So browse a little after collecting from the other blog trains.

You might also enjoy my other blog.  I have some tutorials and other musings there.  Enjoy your goodies!
