Better late than never, a Sunday Special for you.

Evening all,

I'm afraid I have been rather busy lately and have not really had much of a chance of getting any new images sorted. Here is one I did a little while ago.

As always there are a few little rules:

1. Please do not claim as your own.
2. Please leave my signature on when using it.
3. Please give credit where credit is due.
4. If you would like to share it, please direct others to my blog instead.

Also remember, there will another random draw of followers when I reach 45 followers.

So, here it is, only available free for about a week.

Rockclimbing Girl

Sorry, this no longer is a freebie.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and have a great week!

Love,

Jo.

New freebie and extension to last week's challenge!

Morning all,

I hope you will be joining us at CRAFT Challenge again this week. This week our challenge there is 'Use Stitching'. As I already indicated last week, I will be extending last week's challenge (playing card on your project) a little. You can do a project with either a playing card, or you can include stitching, or both. I also will put a little extra freebie at the bottom for you to help you on your way. Another paper, this time from my 'Blue Christmas' papers.

As usual:

• do not claim it as your own
• give credit where credit is due
• please leave a comment if you grab it, knowing you appreciate these freebies motivates me to keep putting some up
• if you would like to share, then please direct people to my blog instead.

So, here you go:

Sorry, this no longer is a freebie.

Have a great weekend and don't forget to take part in our challenge at CRAFT Challenge and if you would like to also be in with a chance to win either of these free (your choice) 

1. 3 digistamps OR
2. 2 easel card sheets OR
3. 1 paper pack from my blog of choice

then also go to the challenge post by clicking on the link in the side banner.

Have a great weekend! All comments very welcome and much appreciated!

Love,

Jo.

The 'Use a Playing card' challenge has been extended!

Evening all,

In view of the fact that there have only been very few entries again this week, I have extended the current challenge by a week. This means you have another week to grab the freebie and to enter your project.

Don't miss the chance to win in this challenge, get your project in! I may even extend the subject a little tomorrow as well when the next CRAFT Challenge goes live! Keep an eye out.

I look forward to seeing you join in with the challenge, please click HERE to go to the challenge.

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Jo.

Sunday Special Freebie, Sea Horse.

Morning all,

Time for another freebie digistamp. Hope you like it. This is one I created while trying to get a few digis sorted for our Water themed challenge at CRAFT Challenge a few weeks ago. Hope you like it.

Don't forget these rather simple rules:

1. If you grab this freebie, please leave a comment, knowing you appreciate these freebies motivates me to keep putting some up.
2. Do not claim it as your own, but give credit where credit is due.
3. Please leave my signature on if at all possible.
4. I don't mind sharing as you notice, but if you wish to share this, please direct people to this blog instead, so they can grab it for themselves.

So, here he or she is:

Sea Horse

Sorry, this no longer is a freebie, see
more recent posts for current freebie.

Hope you like it.

This week's winner.

Evening all,

I know it is starting to get a little bit boring, but again only one entry this week. I had hoped that this latest freebie would get some more people involved, especially as there was a tutorial to go with it. I'm glad however to see that Suze rose to the challenge quite well in using my Flower Easel card sheet. She created this lovely easel card, which also is sporting my Barbecue image.

She has changed around the easel card a little and used the heart of the flower as the stopper for the easel card and to hold the sentiment on. She can be rightly proud of herself as she did a great job.

So, please get in touch again Suze to claim your prize of either 3 of my digistamps, 2 of my easel card sheets or 1 of my paper packs. I believe you have not claimed your prize from last week yet either.

Come and join me again tomorrow. Another challenge in cooperation with CRAFT Challenge and some freebie papers to get you started on both challenges. One on this blog and one on my card blog (link at top of this blog).

Hope to see you then, don't be shy and please join in!

Love,

Jo.

The promised tutorial is here! How to use the Flower Easel card sheet.

Afternoon all,

Here is the promised tutorial for the Flower Easel Card sheet in my challenge this week here at Trimgym's Digistamps and Images. By clicking on this link you will go straight to the challenge post. You will remember perhaps that I have a little special freebie there for you, a Flower Easel card I designed myself (template and papers).

So, over to the mini tutorial, it is all rather straight forward really.

1. First print off the sheet on good quality card:

2. Next carefully cut out all the separate parts of the Easel Card.

3. Then fold the main part of the card along the lines, valley folds on both lines.

4. Once you have done that, turn the card over and apply glue to the top folded part only.

5. You then need to carefully stick the main flower shape onto the base card where you have applied the glue only. 

6. Next stick the other two shapes onto the main flower shape.

7. Choose an image and stick it place. 

8. Turn over the card again and put something in place to keep your easel card up. This could be by a big brad (a green dot can be found in the base card to show where), or by adding your own chosen sentiment on double sided sticky pads, or by adding buttons or anything else that puts a bit of a barrier up so the top of the card remains in place and doesn't slide down again. 

9. For ease of sending it, the card folds totally flat:

10. In the card below, I used a few buttons.

Not really that difficult, is it?

Hope you will have lots of fun trying this as well. Please don't forget to join in with the challenge as well if you get a chance.

Love,

Jo.

Another Sunday Special Freebie for you.

Hope you like the freebie I have lined up for you this week. There is of course the freebie with the challenge, a easel card sheet this time, and here is the one for this Sunday. It's a simple Angel fish, but I think she is really cute (at least I think it's a she with the full lips and the sexy eyes,  lol). If you are able to make her fit with this week's challenge feel free to do so and have a chance of winning 3 digistamps, 2 easel card sheets or 1 paper pack of choice from this blog. If you put 'Fish-yes' with your entry, I will also send you the sentiments by e-mail.

As per usual, it will only remain free for a few days and will then just be on my digistamp page. If you grab her, please leave me a comment. I love to hear from you and it does motivate me to keep putting these little freebies up here. Do not claim her as your own and please leave my signature on if you use her. If you would like to share (and as you notice I don't mind sharing), please direct people to my blog instead, so they can grab her themselves.

Also don't forget, when I reach 45 followers, I will do another random draw of my followers. The prize they can choose in that case would be 1 digistamp of their choice from my blog. Just another reason to become a follower here. The other of course would be that you can see the freebies show up on your blogger feed.

So, here she is:

Angel Fish

Angel Fish 1

Have fun playing with her, keep a look out for more freebies to appear and don't forget to leave a comment when you grab her.

Love,

Jo.

Winner of last week's challenge.

Afternoon all,

A bit later than planned, but here is the winner of last week's challenge. Unfortunately I have been having some issues with my internet connection lately.

This week again, there was only one entry into the challenge and that means Mr Random was again not needed.

Congratulations, Suze, please contact me again to claim your prize and I will e-mail it to you.


And here is the card she made using my image and papers.

Love,

Jo

Another freebie (and) for our Summer challenge!

Morning all,

I have not really had time to finish the freebies I had in mind, so you are going to be very lucky today as I will put one of my flower easel card sheets here for a few days as freebie. If you use it for our Summer challenge at CRAFT Challenge, then also link it below to be able to win a prize here as well.

As usual, do not claim as your own, give credit where credit is due and if you wish to share, direct others to my blog instead. Also don't forget, the next target before the draw of a random winner from my followers will be at 45 followers.

To use the sheet below, print off on A4 card, cut out and put together. Add an image of your choice, put in a brad or other way of keeping it up and you're done. Enjoy!

Sorry, this no longer is a freebie, keep a 

look out for more freebies in more 

recent posts.

Just had a request of how to put this together, I will upload a tutorial shortly, but feeling a little rough at the moment, so will need to wait. Here are some finished cards I did as an example:

Hope that helps a little. I will do a tutorial on this soon when I feel well enough to sort it out for you.

The challenge here this week is to use this sheet for our Summer challenge at CRAFT Challenge, so if you do, please leave the link to your project below. I hope there will be more entries this time. Prize for the winner is 3 digistamps or 2 easel card sheets or 1 paper pack of the winner's choice from this blog.

If you grab this freebie, please also leave a comment. I love to hear that you appreciate these freebies as this will also motivate me to put more up.

The winner of last week's challenge will be announced tomorrow, I need to get off to work now quickly, lol.

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Jo.

Time for another challenge in association with CRAFT Challenge and some freebies.

Morning all!

Thursday again already and time for another challenge at CRAFT Challenge. This week our challenge is

Splashy/Water themed

The challenge on this blog is the same, but with a twist. You will need to use one of my papers or images to be eligible to win on this challenge. No need to worry though, I have regular freebies. This week I have put a freebie on my card blog again and you will find 2 freebies at the end of this post as well.

For a bit of inspiration, here is a card I did using some of my own images, my own 'At the Seaside' papers and also an image by Digital Delights. Hope you like it.

(using 'At the Beach', 'Surfer' and 'Barbecue' from Trimgym's Digistamps and Images 

and 'Grillin George' from Digital Delights)

And here are the promised freebies. Do enjoy, but don't forget to leave my signature on and not claim it as your own. Give credit where credit is due and please also leave a comment. Knowing that you appreciate these freebies encourages me to keep putting them on. Sharing is what I do here, but if you would like to share these, please direct people to this blog instead.

2 papers from my 'At the Seaside' papers (there is another one 

on my card blog)

Sorry, these freebies have now been removed.

Dolphins

As per usual, if you use my digistamp and you would like to have the sentiments as well, then just add YES with your entry and I will e-mail them to you.

Have a crafting weekend and week!

Love,

Jo.

A Sunday Special for you. Snowchild with Balloon freebie.

Afternoon everyone,

I have just finished another digistamp. I think it is quite cute and especially suitable for youngsters. Hope you like it. It's early for Christmas, but at least this way we can try and get our Christmas cards sorted in time, lol.

This will be a freebie for about a week only, then it will only be available as prize on challenges and when I would reach the next milestone in followers. Next random draw of followers will be when I reach 40 and I'm only 1 off that target.

If you would manage to fit this one in with the current challenge, then please add  'Snow-YES' to your name with your entry if you would like to have the sentiments as well. I will then e-mail those to you as well.

Please if you take this freebie, please leave a comment to let me know. Knowing you appreciate these freebies does motivate me to keep putting new ones up.
If you use them, please do leave my signature on, do not claim as your own and give credit where credit is due. I'm happy to share these with you, however if you would wish to share them with others, please direct them to this blog instead.

So, here it is:

Sorry, no longer a freebie!

Thank you for looking, all comments very welcome and much appreciated.
