Toot Toot! DSA Mystery Train: Happy (i)NSD Day! •FREEBIE•

Happy (Inter) National Scrapbook Day!

I am one of the designers who is playing the Digiscrap Addicts Mystery Train.  If you go to all of the blogs of the participating designers you will find lots of uber cool freebies!  How fabulous is that?

I was a little unsure of what to make as my freebie.  I wanted something that you would find useful and would be able to use on a regular basis.  I just love versatile alphas… and I thought you might like them as well.  I have made 2 alphas (one in white and the other in black) for you to add to your digi stash!  I hope you like them and that you enjoy using them.

You can download these freebie alphas by clicking the preview above or by CLICKING HERE.  Enjoy!  If you like them be sure to check out my products at Sweet Shoppe Designs.

The next designer on the DSA Mystery Train is the fabulously talented Angela Woo (of {we are} storytellers).  CLICK HERE to go to her blog.

Little Ladybird

Hello it’s Andrea here today from England.  I love spending time in my garden and there is nothing more Springy/Summery than seeing little ladybirds fluttering around in the sunshine.  The weather isn’t quite ready for summer where I live but I found these dinky little ladybird chocolates in the local sweet shop and couldn’t resist buying a few – and eating a few too :lol:

I’ve made a few small gifts with them for some friends who I’ll be seeing during the next couple of weeks and of course I had to use my favourite (at the moment ;) ) ladybird kit from Eva.

In photoshop create the main piece of your topper adding the elements and a name, duplicate the ladybird two more times so that you can add extra layers when you assemble the gift bag

Print and cut all the pieces out

evas-blog-1

Glue the main topper piece onto a piece of red cardstock and trim with a craft knife leaving a narrow border and fold in half.

evas-blog-2

Use foam pads to attach an extra layer of ladybird (head and body) and then again (just the wings) and add some teeny tiny googly eyes for extra cuteness factor.  Look in your local craft store for the eyes, sometimes they are in the children’s craft section.

evas-blog-4

I used a small clear cellophane bag (normally I use them for putting my cards in to keep them clean), popped in the ladybird chocolates and stapled the topper onto the bag.  Add a ribbon bow to finish the gift off and let it fly off with love to brighten someone’s day :)

evas-blog-3

We would love to see what you make if you are inspired so leave us a comment and we can come and give your creations some love.  I promise that they are really easy to make and would be good to make with your kids next time it rains :)
