Wonderful Wednesdays--Offerings for April

If you are new to my blog and want to know how this concept got started, you can find the original post by clicking HERE. 

Hello peeps.  Once again this month I'm skating thin on getting my Wonderful Wednesdays offering out in time.  It is incredible that we have already reached the final Wednesday in April. 

If you are new to my blog in the past year, you can find other items for the April kit by clicking on the respective links below: 

2013

• The word April done up in a bunch of different styles:  Click HERE.
• Blue Polka dot paper and red polka dot paper:  Click HERE.
• "Good Times" wordart creations available in a number of colours; plus some balloons--digi images and coloured; + bonus circular stamp:  Click HERE.

The April kit never had a name so since it is focused on the theme of celebration, I'm just going to call it Happy Celebrations!

I decided to add a wordart paper this month that says 'celebrate'. Some of you may have a similar one as I made one for Monica Taylor to hand out to everyone during one of her blog celebrations.  However this one has different colouring and the wording is larger.

This paper, part of the Happy Celebrations kit (the multi-year kit for the month of April), is 3600 x 3600 in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. I have used resources from: Marisa Lerin, Pixel Scrapper, and Heather Green, HG Graphic Designs.  Full credit info is in the file.  To grab this paper, click the download button to be taken to a download location.  In the zip folder you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my folders.

Here is your bonus stamp for April.  You can just left click on this one to bring it up in the lightbox and then right click to save it in its original size which is 3600 x 192 pixels (12 inches x .64 inches).  

 

Stay tuned for a new Wonderful Wednesday post coming next month!  

Additionally, I have another freebie coming out later this evening in honour of our wedding anniversary; so, stay tuned!

Until next time,

Wonderful Wednesdays: Winsome Words AND Beautiful Balloons to Finish April Kit

If you are new to my blog and would like to know how Wonderful Wednesdays got started, please click HERE.

Given my 'two week vacation' coming up in a couple days, I'm going to offer up the two remaining items for the April kit.  First off, I have some winsome words for your scrapping pleasure.   Now as I was playing around with this template, I kept coming up with some different options, not sure which one to settle on I figured I'd offer them all up and leave it up to you.  Each one is approximately 1.8 by 11.9 inches and is 300 dpi.  The blue and reds are reflective of the colours I've offered up so far in this month's kit.  They are all the same size and bigger than what they look like below but I'm just making them smaller to conserve space.  If you click on them you should see them in their original size.

Now, I really, really, really wanted to do a red background with white writing but I ran out of steam.  It was 5:50 am and I still had to create the goodies for the next half of this post.  Now, as you can tell, all but one have a transparent background so that you can print it out on whatever colour you want.  If you would like any of them with a white background, just shoot me off an email with the subject, "Good Times White BG" and don't forget to tell me which one you want with the white background.

While I was able to get the next batch of goodies ready before heading to bed at 6:20 I just couldn't stay up any longer to complete the bonus element for this month's kit so you are getting the post a bit later than I had hoped today. 

Okay, so here is the final entry for the April kit.  We finish the kit up with some Beautiful Balloons.  What is a celebration without some balloons?  I'm providing them in three different colours that will coordinate with the other items currently meant for the April kit plus in outline.  Choose one or all, it is up to you. I am very proud to say that these balloons are all digital images created by me from scratch.  Here you go...

If you have missed anything from the April kit, or if you are new to the site, you can go HERE for the first week, and HERE for the second.  If you are new and would like items from the January to March kits, just click on 'Wonderful Wednesdays' in the label section on the right sidebar (scroll down) of this blog to find them.  Remember since you are getting a two for one deal this week, there will not be a Wonderful Wednesday post next week.  Since I'm technically still supposed to be taking a break from my regular posts the first week of May, it is very likely that I will not be starting the May kit until the second Wednesday of the month.  Don't forget though, that I'll still be around, just not quite so active on the blog during the next two week period.

Hope you like my final offerings for this month's kit and can find some use for them.  If you create a project using one of these images or any of the images I create, I'd love to see them and post them into the 'Your Gallery' portion of the blog.

Until next time,

Now coming up with an idea for the celebrations theme for the contribution to the April kit, I was a little stumped.  So while technically it is meant to go in this kit, I'm sure like a lot of the things I offer, it will be useful for other occasions as well. Actually, it is not an it, it is a they.  While I normally only offer up one paper, it is a month full of occasions so I'm offering up two.

Each are 3600 x 3600 pixels and in jpg format.  I created them in Photoshop Essentials using a template.  Here you go...

Now you have two items for your April kit.  If you missed the first item, you can find it HERE.  I'd love to see what you come up with if you use anything I create on any of your projects.  Next week brings with it something new for the kit so stay tuned.

Until next time,

Wonderful Wednesdays: Lovely Lettering for April

If you are new to my blog and would like to know how Wonderful Wednesdays got started, please click HERE. 

It is time to start the April kit.  Just like last month, I am going to start out with word art for the month's name.  You need something identifying which kit is which right?

Now this month the theme is a bit different.  There isn't an obvious holiday in April so it took me some time to figure out what theme I wanted this kit to have.  I debated basically the entire month of March.  Last week I finally decided on the theme of 'Celebration'.  First off, I'm having my 100th follower celebration this month.  Next, both my husband and I will be celebrating birthdays towards the latter half of the month.  We will also be celebrating our wedding anniversary at the end of April so this is the perfect time to be discussing celebration type items.

This month we are moving away from the pastels into some bolder colours. 

Stay tuned throughout the month for more Wonderful Wednesday offerings.

Until next time,
