Today's freebie is a set of two PNG files. You can see the simple layout I did using the two PNG files (the curvy frame and the "princess" lettering). They are large enough for a 12x12 but could be resized smaller. If you're not sure how to use them, DesignerDigitals.com has some great how-to info on their site. I found this one particularly helpful: "How Do I Use a PNG." I used "Girly Girl" papers and elements by Katie Pertiet from Designer Digitals with an adjustment layer in Photoshop to change their color to complete the layout.

FontCapture.com is probably one of the coolest websites I've seen in a long time.

If you don't receive the e-newsletter, Liquid Treat, then you may not have heard of this free web service. You'll need a printer and a scanner to do it, but the time and effort is worthwhile, and the possibilities are endless.

This is the first font I designed using FontCapture:


Here's the second. You'll notice I was much more careful this time:


So, have fun with it -- the sky's the limit. I'd love to see what you come up with.

At my daughter's request, the Schoolhouse Grunge paper designs were converted for use as blog backgrounds. Simply click on the links below the images and you'll be able to download them from tinypic.com, a great, free image hosting website.




Thanks to Cristi Bastian for her blog which inspired and taught me how to make these! You can view her blog backgrounds here:
