2009-10-23T18:23:00.003-05:00

Going through all of my old files and stuff to get uploaded to the new store (hehehehehe, yes, new store! Just you wait!) and I found this kit. It's not quite finished (okay, so it's not finished to *MY* usual standard) and I have no mojo to actually finish it....so I figured it would be a good freebie. You can mix and match it with a lot of other kits that are out about now. Brown is a huge color, so...Enjoy!

Calling All Readers! I need help!

2009-10-22T18:05:00.004-05:00

I was going through my products to upload to a new store and I noticed in my Year in Review kit, November is missing! For some reason the zip file for November holds the files for December!!!! *SMACKS FOREHEAD*

Before it was a store product, it was a freebie on my site a a while ago. I'm hoping the pic jogs someone's memory!

If you have the November files for YiR, PLEASE (pretty please, I'm begging here!) can you send them to me. I *NEED* them and I can't find my CD that the originals are saved on. I don't want to have to ditch this kit since it's so comprehensive and cute, but there's also no way I could duplicate the style...

New Layout - Family Time

2009-10-20T15:01:00.005-05:00

Thanks to Three Paper Peonies for the awesome paper pack and challenge. She's got an amazing new autumn paper pack called Harvest. (Stunning!) I had to do her challenge, the only problem was I don't have any pictures of my *FAMILY* I'm always the one behind the camera so I'm never in the pictures! LOL (Well, that and I can't stand having my picture taken.) So I settled for a photo of Ryder while we were out as a family feeding the birdies downtown by the lake front.

All parts of the layout are from freebie packs by Three Paper Peonies. I know for sure I used Harvest, Dream, and Whimsy.

Journaling says:
i love that you are getting older and more independent. i have so much fun spending time with you lately. you love days when mommy, daddy and nana take you out, especially if we decide to feed the birds downtown. yeah, i miss you being a baby, but i love you being a big boy. we get to go do so much more as a family!

New Freebie Just Cos I Was Bored!

2009-10-20T12:11:00.003-05:00

I know, you guys love it when I'm bored! I was working on my Halloween kit yesterday and just got really frustrated. It's not turning out to be what's in my head. So I thought I'd offer you guys a really cute, VERY retro freebie today. :) I've been on this whole retro, 70's kick lately, which is funny cos I was born in 77, so I wasn't around enough to remember any of the peace, hippy, free love, disco stuff. LOL

Here ya go, 4 retro themed felties for all of your retro pages. :) Or even for your Halloween hippy pics!

Follow me on Facebook & Twitter

2009-10-20T00:37:00.003-05:00

I know I've mentioned my Twitter before, but did I ever give out my Facebook? Looking through my links, I don't see it there, so I wanted to let y'all know about my Facebook as well! Follow me on Twitter or Facebook (or both if y'all want!)

I ramble, I play games, I *LOVE* Mafia Wars (yes, weakness, I'm Italian, go figure! hehehehe.) I post links to new stuff, I complain about design, I laugh and cry and love meeting my fans and making new friends! Check me out on Facebook and/or Twitter if you get a chance!

More new CU products and a cute lil freebie for y'all

2009-10-18T11:34:00.005-05:00

Yes, I am on a roll right now! No, really, I DO actually have a life! I also have a lot of creative mojo right now, so you all get to reap the rewards of my hard work! I know y'all love me! ;) And I love y'all right back! *big hugs to all my readers, scrapers, friends, family and everyone in the internet world who show up here*

Anyway, new CU products include 2 plastic layer styles and a wicked date stamp set that will take you from 1980 through 2020! :) (Yup, I'm optimistic that the world will not end in 2012!) Previews...comin' right up! Remember, you can pick these up at my Commercial-Use.com store.

And now for the freebie, a set of 40, yes FOURTY, fastening elements! There are 4 styles of fasteners, round brad, square brad, diamond brad and eyelet, in 10 different plastic styles. (Examples from Plastic Layer Styles Volume 2 - Neutrals.) Enjoy!

Download Plastic Elements

I promised a huge freebie!

2009-10-17T10:23:00.004-05:00

And here it is, no ads, no extra stuff, just the freebie because I'm exhausted from stupid doctors. (Apparently I'm supposed to believe that a POSSIBLE UTI caused Ryder to spike a 103.6 degree fever in only 5 hours. Yea, right!)

I'm trying out a new file hosting place today Deposit Files, so please let me know if you have any problems downloading any of the files. I kinda like the pretense of this place though, free file hosting AND you can earn money on people downloading your files. With as many downloads as us scrapbook designers have, I thought maybe making a little extra cash would be cool. Let's hope it works, eh?

So without further ado.... Watermelon Crawl Papers!

New CU Labels & a Really Cute Freebie

2009-10-16T12:01:00.003-05:00

Y'all are getting spoiled rotten lately, ya know that? Yes, today I have yet another freebie for you, but before that, I'd like to preview my latest CU product, Label Me This.

Label Me This is a comprehensive set of templates for creating labels/tags. In this set there are six different types of tags and each tag base has at least two overlays and journaling lines, which you can opt to use or not. Each tag can be configured in about eight different ways, which makes about fifty different styles of tags that you can create. Let your creativity run wild and be inspired by Label Me This!

Available at Commecial-Use.com.

And now...the freebie! I made these labels for the promo of Label Me This, and I figured I'd toss them out to y'all. :) It's also a preview of another freebie that'll be coming in a few days. :) (Yup, it's a paper pack a HUGE paper pack! But that's for another day.) Today, you get Watermelon Crawl Tags.

New CU Products & a Freebie!

2009-10-15T11:37:00.005-05:00

Goooooooood morning scrapers!

Okay, so I was supposed to post these yesterday, but I got busy making a sweet little freebie for y'all, so I figured you'd forgive me! ;)

First things first, I have three new Digital Doodlez packs up at Commercial-Use.com. :) I love these doodlez, I think they're some of my best yet. (Second only to the Curlz & Swirls doodle pack I put up a few days ago. I think THAT is my all time favorite CU pack right now! LOL)

There are 20 large (and I mean LARGE) doodlez in each pack. These are perfect for creating background papers, embellishments, frames, anything your heart desires! (As a matter of fact, the freebie later in this post was made with some of the doodles in these packs!) So, check out the promo images and then head over to Commercial-Use.com to pick up your favorites!

And, as promised, a freebie! This is a sample from an upcoming kit and also an idea of what you can do with the doodle and edger packs I just released. I don't know what to say, I fell in love with this kit as I was making it! I originally intended on just a few background papers for y'all, and the full kit just sorta happened! As soon as I have a store (other than Commercial-Use.com,) I'll hook y'all up with the full kit links!

Download Lush Green Mini Kit.

Tons of new CU Poducts at C-U.com!

2009-10-13T22:05:00.006-05:00

Well, I have a TON of stuff to show y'all tonight! I have a whole slew of new commercial use products up at Commercial-Use.com! (And....I'll have more to show you tomorrow as well!)

First, a set of swirls and curls. These are some of my best swirls yet and I absolutely LOVE them! You get 16 huge swirls and 10 swirl parts, so you can add on to the swirls or make totally new ones. The creativity with this set of swirls and curls is limitless! Available at Commercial-Use.com.

Next, I have finally uploaded all 5 of my edgers packs! These are beautiful, full 12x12 .png files that you can recolor, use different blend modes, rip apart or combine more than one together to make great paper edges and overlays. Another highly creative product line from creative.chaos.

Remember, all of these packs, and a whole lot more, are availabl at Commercial-Use.com!

New Font - Free for One Week Only

2009-10-10T21:56:00.004-05:00

Well, I've done it again! I was bored and playing around in Illustrator with my graphics tablet and made a new font for y'all. I was trying to get away from my bubbly, girly kind of hand writing and created Chicken Scratch for y'all. I love how this one turned out. It's really tightly kerned and makes for great journaling or titling.

Grab it while it's here, because on the 17th it goes into the store!

Pumpkin Patch Embellishment Freebie

2009-10-06T23:10:00.004-05:00

Y'all are getting spoiled rotten! :P

What can I say, the drugs they have me on for my bronchitis is like speed....souped up speed....(Can we say steroids are great for my productivity?) C'mon, I did an entire blog redo in like 12 hours, including breaks and errands and stuff...)

So now...I bring to you six pumpkins with very different personalities! We have autumn felt, we have sweet, normal paper, we have country pumpkin and now we have camo pumpkin as well! (Don't ask, Ryder really likes it, it's his favorite!) Enjoy!

New Layout - The Pumpkin King

2009-10-06T19:44:00.005-05:00

Thanks to Wanda for the awesome template. I fell in love with this template as soon as I saw it and realized I hadn't scrapped Ryder's trip to the pumpkin farm last year. (I know!!! How did I *NOT* do that? Oh yea, I HATE most of the pics cos my camera sucked last year. I can't wait to go this year with the better camera! WOOO!

Anyway, subject at hand....LO...I had a ton of pics from the pumpkin farm last year, most of which were blurry, washed out or otherwise crappy. :( Stupid point & shoot camera was going on the fritz. I picked out my favorites and they worked so much better smaller, so this template worked wonders for these photos. And I thought all the rounded corners had a major retro throwback. (Okay, maybe I'm just on a retro kick lately! LOL) Either way, I REALLY like how this LO turned out. :)

New Font For Y'all

2009-10-06T00:47:00.004-05:00

So I was cleaning up the hard drive and came across this new font that should have been put up before I lost internet and I can't believe I forgot about it! EEEEEP! LOL Well, here you have it, Connect the Dots!

Download Connect the Dots from FileSavr

Enjoy!

C'mon, take a look around!

2009-10-05T23:20:00.003-05:00

I've got a new look on the blog and I love it! I did almost all of the work myself. I started with a template and ripped it apart and made it what I wanted. :) I'm very proud of myself for doing this. I'm sure I'll be tweaking things as the days and weeks go by. Please, PLEASE let me know if you run into an issue or problem. Yes, I do know that the images are a little wonky on the main page right now, still working on figuring that part of the coding out. Other than that, everything has run smoothly on my end on both computers. :)

creative.chaos @ blogspot now matches my Twitter...heheheheh ;)

Lemme know what you guys think of the new setup. :)

I also now have 4 top spot advertiser spots, so please let me know if you're interested in possibly trading 125x125 ads.

I Did NOT Fall Off the Face of the Planet...

2009-09-29T21:26:00.005-05:00

First my laptop started acting up and had to get sent in (it wouldn't charge anymore, come to find out not only was the power cord pretty much shot, but the plug in port was wicked loose....) Before I got the laptop back, I lost internet. :( No internet for months has SUCKED donkey butt! Trust me. But it gave me time to totally build up my product listing and freebies! Yay for you guys!

Before my "I'M BACK!" freebie...what's new in the world of chaos? Jer and I are still together and going strong. The transmission on my van went out, so we're back down to one vehicle. Ryder's in the midst of getting potty trained. He's doing great on the pee-pee part. I earned a free copy of Filter Forge for 3 of my filters going high usage! Talk about a creative boost! Earning a $200 program for free! WWWOOOOO! Go me! Now if I can get 5 more I get upgrades for life. :) For the first time in my life I attempted having a rummage sale (okay, I NEEDED to LOL I'm a pack-rat and have kept *ALL* of Ryder's stuff for the past almost 3 years.) OMG So much work, but worth it! Made over $500! Got sick doing said rummage sale and had a fever of 102.6 for 2 days! And am finally vertical enough to sit up and let you guys know I'm alive.

Now...On to the freebie!

I learned a new technique today and thought I'd share the results with y'all. Thanks to Gunhild and Flergs for the tuts and stuff. :)

I thought they'd look great in some neutral autumn colors. I know there's a lot of similar color schemes floating out there right now. :) Enjoy!

Life is Chaotic...and now I tweet...

2009-06-05T16:04:00.003-05:00

First things first. I've had a Twitter account since January, but I'm finally starting to use it. I've actually made a new background for my Twitter page using an upcoming kit for Flag Day called Stars & Stripes. :) I'm REALLY proud of not only the background page, but the kit as well. I think this is one of my BEST! (As great of quality as My Favorite Man!) Check it out here and let me know what you think. One random commenter/Twitter reply about the new bg will get Stars & Stripes FREE!!!

As for the chaotic: In the midst of opening up a few new stores life has gotten the best of me for the past few weeks. Besides having posts automatically posted from late last month, I haven't been around a whole heck of a lot. Jeremy's truck is finally up and running...or was, now the battery's dead and we don't have the cash to get another one, so I'm back to being chauffeur. Another friend of ours (okay, EX friend) is starting some major high school drama...my SIL's proof copy of the Losing Control came and it's NEARLY perfect! A few minor changes and some typo fixes and it should be ready for release in a few more weeks. Speaking of SIL...Bro and SIL are going to be moving into an uber cute new house! This place is small, but it has CHARM out the wazoo! It's summer so the lawn care stuff has started up again.
