Robbie's Rockin' Red - Add-on packs and a FREEBIE

I've 2 new paper packs and 1 new set of 'word' tabs in my store, these coordinate with my latest kit 'Robbie's Rockin' Red.  Although the kit is themed for a teenage boy (you can read my previous post for details), when these add-on items are paired with the full kit, the kit becomes more versatile and more 'family' usable.  Check them out at my store (the image titles are linked).

Custom Digital Scrapbook Kit Design

I've a new digital scrapbook kit called Robbie's Rockin' Red.

This is Robbie.

Robbie was the inspiration for this kit; a customized kit for his mother (and my online friend), Claire.

I always wanted to do a custom designed kit based on someone's collection of photos (be it a birthday, a wedding, a family reunion, or some other event) or based on their specifications, so when Claire mentioned that she'd been looking for, but not finding, a kit with the 'correct' color red to match her son's favorite hoodie (hooded sweatshirt), a kit not too feminine to scrap layouts for a boy, I offered to design a kit for her.  Lucky for me, she accepted!

Working with photos of Robbie's hoodie, Claire's color choices, desired elements and paper styles, and a list of Robbie's interests, this kit was born.

A few elements in this kit were created by altering a designer resource base template but the rest of the kit is of my own creation using a combination of Photoshop styles, textures, brushes, actions and custom shapes; the sunglasses, ice cream cone, french fries, guitar, mobile phone, playing cards and the clock are all hand-drawn originals by me.

Although I designed this kit for a special teenage boy, the red, white, blue and gray colors make it usable for a number of other layout themes including, for many countries, patriotic events and celebrations.

The kit is now available for purchase at my E-Scape and Scrap store at The Nifty Boutique.  Options to purchase the papers and elements separately are also available - add-on packages coming soon.

I'd love to do more custom work!  If you like my designs and think you'd be interested in a digital scrapbook kit designed to your specifications and/or to match a set of your photographs, I'd love to hear from you; please feel free to send me an email - my contact information can be found by viewing my profile (the link at upper right, under my photo).

It's time for The Blog Train!

What's a blog train?  It's a digital scrapbooking collaborative effort.  Multiple digital scrapbook designers get together (not in the physical sense, it is cyberspace after-all) and, working with the same theme and color palette, each create a mini digital scrapbooking kit (or other useful scrapping item) and then offer them to you, the digital scrapbooking community, for FREE.  You, the person who scrapbooks, then travel from blog to blog collecting any (or all) of the mini kits you wish and when you've finished downloading them all, you have one mega-sized, digital scrapbooking kit to create beautiful, personal memory pages or books for yourself.  Sounds great, huh?

The Blog Train for December, 2011 is called 'Traditions'.  Beginning today (December 1st, 2011), and continuing through the end of the month, you can 'ride the train' to collect digital scrapbook products from 80 or more participating designers!

I am stop number 78 along The Blog Train route.

The stop just before mine is that of 'Meta Wulandari Design' at http://metawulandaridesign.com/ and your next stop, number 79, will be to 'Digital Gator Designs' at http://www.digitalgator.blogspot.com/.

But before you move on, be sure to download my gift for you (download expired).
