You are welcome to use these for your forum challenges as well! Just send to my blog to download...if you'd like to include in a grab bag challenge please just email me and ask, I'd be happy to oblige (bombedbyblossom@gmail.com)
but please ask first so I know who or where they are being used. Thank you!

FTU Tutorial - "Holiday Prep"






This tutorial is written by me as I'm creating, so there may be some writing mistakes. If there is anything unclear, please email me (bombedbyblossom@gmail.com), and I'll clear up the issue as best I can. This is written by me, and any resemblance to other tutorial(s) is purely coincidental.

This tutorial is written using GIMP; however, if you are knowledgeable with your specific graphics program, you should be able to use it following my instructions. This tutorial is only written as a guide to inspire. You are encouraged to use your own choice of supplies, use your imagination, and make your tag "your own creation," and I would love to see what you create!

FTU Mini Scrapkit - "Catherine"


 I dug out another one of my old kits and re-previewed it. Thought and I hope someone could use it.

When I made this it was in honor of my mom. She loved purple and yellow and her favorite flower was Lilac. So I made this for her originally. Unfortunately she never got to see it.

I'd love to see what you create with it.

AI Tube - Christmas Eve


I was creating an AI tube for a blog train and decided to make two to choose from. This one didn't make it to the train and thought I'd share it here in case anyone would like to use it.

(please leave some love if you download)

FTU - Cafe Day Scrapkit

I'm on a roll getting posts up today!
I have another oldie for you, all re-previewed, and uploaded.

Hope you can use and would love to see what you make too.


(Please leave some love)










Color Palettes

I was creating in psp in the wee morning hours and decided to share some color palettes with you.
You can use these for your creative muse, or as a whimsey for colors for kits or prompts for AI, blog trains, challenges in forums or what have you. I just ask that you don't redistribute them (you can include in your forum challenges) but please if you use for anything else such as supplies for tutorials, or in kits please do not include the palette... sorry they are my creation and without direct permission from me that's stealing and a no-no! Just direct your friends to my blog to get them for themselves. Thank you!










FTU Kit - Blushing Rose

I found an old portable external, and it was labeled something that I didn't need, so I was going to clean it out and found all my old designing stuff back when I was making kits and CU stuff and selling. I decided, why not rename the files, re-preview the kits, and offer them up? I updated the TOUs, but this is going to take some time.
The first one is Blushing Rose, and here it is.
Not all are previewed, and the drop shadow is on preview only!




(please leave some love)



More is to come, check back!
