Hellooo there sweeties,

Aunt Digi here, back from a surfing safari.   Well not a literal surfing safari but a great surfing on the web adventure. Bringing gifts from afar and lots of interesting links to sites that will interest you. Freebies in abundance and plenty info to keep you busy practicing your digi techniques.

 

One of the first places I stopped off was when looking for freebies to use in my digital scrap booking.  Of course most sites offer free bits and samples but here is a free digital kit to suit all tastes each month at www.scrappindigikreations.com. Each month the designers make a mini kit and each is released over the month and there is also for a limited time the previous month's kit.  Take a look on the blog and there is more in the way of freebies and sample kits.

 

Looking for resources for your own graphic program?  Brushes abound on the Internet but isn’t it nice to know you have permission to use them in a commercial venture as well as for personal use?  Here is a list of a few that will give permission for commercial use, just remember to read the terms.

Some fantastic brushes here... Terms of Use (TOU) seem to be "use for anything", but give a link back on web page or in tou.

Chamara at DA

Falln Brushes at DA

Also check out these too:  Get Brushes

 

There are such a lot to choose from at DeviantArt, but make sure you read the TOU very clearly. In some cases there is no TOU. Treat these with caution for commercial use. Email the brush maker.

 

Got Art Rage? Look here for tutorials to get the best from your software, including a great tutorial for making a wax seal. There are also pages of links to get new stencils, etc.

 

Want inspiration for the next craze in card making? Want ideas to adapt to digital scrapbooking? Take a look at this magazine’s list of projects. It has to be said there are loads of ideas here all-downloadable in pdf format: Craft Creations.

 

As for tutorials for Photoshop, take a look here for great little tutorials that can be adapted for your own software.

 

Hope you have fun with these links. I know I had fun looking for them. I will be back next month with more Aunt Digi fun and laughter as we scrap together.

 

Bye my darlings for now

Aunt Digi  xxxxx
