happy to say i'm now CTing for the lovely Jere of GraphFreaks!  being a total bookworm, i had to start out with "Brie", a girl after my own heart ;)  combined with a lovely FTU autumn kit by Fantasy Moments, i have created a brand new snag set.  

given Brie's theme, there are some different additions to this set that are normally not in my snags:  one a quote from the Roman orator Cicero as seen above, another for all of you participating in NaNoWriMo, and a third for those of you who are like me and can't stand interruptions when i have my nose in a book!  enjoy ;)

you can purchase Brie here.  and you can grab my snags (nine in all) here.

here is a new cluster frame for you all.  this one was made from the lovely FTU Wicked Princess kit called Memorial Garden.  I dedicate it to a beautiful woman and Stormlight fan, Pammy Eastman (aka pammy331968).  I was shocked and saddened to find out that she passed away unexpectedly last Thursday night.  the PSP community has lost an incredible star.  I will miss you a lot, Pammy.

you can get my cluster at my 4shared here.
Friday, June 21, 2013

so I finally got inspired to make a scrap kit.  after some fiddling, frantic downloading of freebie scripts and goodies, and some yelling at PSP, it is finished!


if you are wondering, the colors were inspired by a lovely Ismael Rac tube called Ready 4 Summer.  of course, you don't need the tube to use the kit--it just helped me out of a bind with a color scheme because i couldn't settle on one!

presenting Summer Splendor:




you can snag it over at 4shared.

please follow the TOU inside when using and let me know you snagged it.  i hope you enjoy it.  and, of course, i would LOVE to see what you make with it!

[an extra thank you goes out to Dzines by Melz for the kit's preview template!]

for my first Wicked Princess CT choice for March, i chose the adorable kit called "Steff", which is a PSP Project exclusive.  it's loaded with tons of cute elements, ranging from sweet to punk, and is very versatile for whatever mood you are in.

and weeeeeell, i went all out, heh.  four....count 'em--FOUR cluster frames!  there will also be a tutorial coming soon--a nice and simple one.

you can purchase this kit at The PSP Project here!   and if you want the matching tube by Sweet-Pinup, you can purchase the original Steff by herself here or the Steff bundle pack here.

(and last but not least, you can get my cluster set here!)
Sunday, February 24, 2013


so here is my first attempt at a quick page.  this is brag book size (or should be).  it was made from a cute kit i found awhile ago at Jamie's Creations and Scraps.


thank you to my girl Cakes, members of Creatively Free and my fellow CT members of Wicked Princess' team for helping me with info on sizes and types of quick pages.  and if you download and use it, please leave me a comment and i'd love to see what you make!
