Freebie Finding – bits and pieces

This week I went looking for some bits and pieces to fill out some layouts.  After a while we all have enough kits, but a great alpha or some bling can bring a new kit to life!  Here’s what I found for you!

This alpha would be useful just about everywhere!  It’s by designer Kristin Aagard.  When you click on the image, you’ll go to her blog.  Check out her Little Forest Winter kit, it’s just beautiful!  Scroll past a ton of close-up previews and some beautiful CT layouts and be inspired!  At the bottom of the post you’ll find the alpha freebie.  Be sure to leave Kristin thanks and a kind comment on her great work!  And poke around and look at her other kits – they’re really adorable!

I’m a sucker for good word art, and it doesn’t get any better than Bethany’s!  If you aren’t familiar with her work, visit her blog and see what she’s got going on!   I thought this one was funny, might use it on some little goodie bags this year.  If you click on the header of the blog, you will see today’s post which is nice too!  And in the sidebar she’s got category links for easy finding!  If you like her word art, consider buying a set, they’re great value and good quality!  If you need ideas for what to do with word art, we covered that in one of our tutorial crops, there are tuts in the crop forum here!

Studio Flergs has a great new kit out, and she’s offering this frame freebie!  I think I have a lot of background papers this would work with, and it’s perfect for my teenager.  It’s not even tooo too girly for my son!  The kit is awfully pretty too, might have to add that to my wish list.

Click on the freebie category in the sidebar for some other great goodies.  There’s some clustered stitching that is absolutely brilliant, and the link is still active.

I’m seeing a lot of these ‘photo masks’ lately, and honestly don’t always know what to do with them.  This blog post by Dido Designs has some great CT layouts with great ideas!  The set looks really neat, and I think I can find something to do with this freebie.  I did a tutorial on one way you can use these masks here, and I’m thinking of working with some watercolor brushes on this one.  I’ll bring the tut to a crop soon!

OK folks, that’s all I’ve got this week, if you know of some great goodies, leave us a link in the comments!  DH is dragging me off to a movie, dinner and drinks with friends!!

Happy Scrapping!
