more new free paper sets & a print sampler

So, I've been adding some monochromatic papers (and some with black outline accents) to the growing flickr collection (just to mix things up a bit from the white & coloured style). There are 3 new more summer colours too...

(an homage to the last 3 Seasonal Distress Ink shades that completed my collection)




There are about 150 free paper sets now:

(That's about 5100 papers, if you count all the colours. A small obsession?)

Here's a sampling...

P.S. On another personal note, the Migraine Beastie has gotten sneakier. Now the little devil seems to be a silent migraine. Recently, the right side of my body and face was numb and tingly and felt huge and all pressurized (such an odd feeling!) Charles took me to Emerge ( I was thinking I might be having a stroke) but all was well heart & brain-wise. Feeling Thankful now! Hope you and yours are all doing wonderfully well. I'm trying to catch up on emails, this week. xo

  16. yuk - sorry you have a sneaky migraine monster... I hope there is an equally sneaky solution to them - although I hope that he's long gone really. I cannot comprehend how that must feel (I have my own issues - have had a couple of migraines recently - but surely nothing like yours...) Mine did render me in bed - i couldn't lift my head off the pillow or have any light in the bedroom, so I really do feel for you if they cause those kind of symptoms. I remember when I first discovered your blog, you were really suffering from frequent ones, so glad you're not there any longer!!!

    Thank you so much for the lovely papers - you work so hard to be so generous to other crafters, you really are a star!

    I downloaded your overlays but don't think I used them properly as I couldn't see the pattern over plain paper... I'm sure I've not done it right (I'm not a PSE or PSD user by the way).

    Wishing you well, and better

  17. shit! numbness?! that scared the hell out of me, wonder how terrified you must have been!
    Again, i want to thank you for the freebies. Like I always say... your blog is like a repository, a library.. a very old, very vast and very colourful library! thanks!

  18. Your generousity is so amazing. Thanks for sharing ALL of these wonderful files. My mind just goes crazy when I see these..

  19. Oh yeah!!! Excitement plus! Colors galore! Thank you so much for the generosity you share and for the care. The tutorials are great and I can't wait to get started on some projects. I wanted to download the tutorial on how to use gimp, but the site just went to Adobe and there was nothing else. If it's not working, could you send the ppt in an attachment? If not, I'll make my way through what you gave. Hope you had a wonderful holiday and so glad to read that you're better! (Scary!!!)
    Thanks again and looking forward to more creations.
