It’s Monday Again…
Hope everyone had a great weekend

Laurie left me a comment on my blog that she had been looking for vintage frames for years and finally found the freebie frames I had Glad you liked them, Laurie. And yes, they were based on the old paper frames from 1880’s photographs.

Nancy left a comment that she just couldn’t resist Gunther’s puppy dog eyes and grabbed up the grab-bag special I have going on (more on that below). She said she was glad she did. And, she also checked out the charity kit over at seasidescraps.com. She’s beaten the ‘ugly beast’ twice so far! Amazing, Nancy and I hope it never comes back for you… my prayers are with you

Yep, I’ve got a great grab bag for you over at my shop, HERE! For just $2.00 you get just over 150 mb of goodies! All brand new and un-released items by Scrappy Pony Designs. Now, Gunther lent me his picture to help advertise but there are no ‘pet’ or ‘animal’ themes in this goodie bag. Just lots of artsy, grungy, vintage and retro styled goodies. Okay, there is on little tiny animal element but everything else is just a ton of fabulous stuff suitable for all types of layouts. Some stuff matches, some stuff doesn’t. But, you’re gonna love it! Get it on sale for $2.00 till Sunday May 27th at Midnight. Then after the sale is over I will release pictures of what’s in the bag, but the price goes up So, come by and grab it HERE

Photoshop Mask Brushes

I just love to visit deviant art, there’s a ton of amazing photoshop goodies over there created by some really talented people. So, I figured I’d ‘give back’ to the community over there by posting some photoshop mask brushes. Here’s a picture preview and below that is a link to where you can find and download the masks on deviant art.

Update…Fonts

A blog reader also asked me about the fonts I used on the love quote cards freebie. To be honest, I have no idea which ones I used, but they were from my collection of non-commercial fonts that I use on freebies only.

Some good places to check out FREE handwriting/journaling fonts are:
