Boo Crew Blog Train

As the train pulled into the station, the conductor yelled, "Be careful when stepping off the train to pick up your prize. It is so dark down there on the tracks and you don't know which of the witches familiars is lurking down there, just waiting to grab you by the ankle and pull you down under the train."

Everyone was looking around and enjoying the quick stretch of their legs when all of a sudden the conductor yells. "Hurry up and pick up your surprise and board the train."

"We are leaving in a minute. You don't want to become caught up in one of the witching night spells "

"Bubble, Bubble, toil and trouble"............ came a whiney voice from the dark recesses of the darkness.

"All aboard for the next station, Tinkay2. Quickly now we need to get going, I can hear the DSM witches flying in on their broomsticks."

That's right, I am having a CT Call. I don't have many kits out right now but I plan at least 2 a month going forward. That being said below are the requirements. Apply if you think you would enjoy doing this.

2 LOs per kit
Post LO on your blog and Digi Scrapbooking Mania gallery and two other locations.

Email me at rileycreations@gmail.com with 2 LOs and a link to your blog.

Now, what do you want to see? What type of kits have you been looking for that you just can't find. Come on, give me some new, interesting ideas. Got specific colors and no theme, let me know that too. Just post a comment here. I wonder what will be in store.

New Kit - DinoBite Collab

Kicking off coming back to digitial scrapbooking, I have been working on a personal use only, collab kit, DinoBite, with a friend of mine, Ashlee over at Designs by Ashlee. It is a great kit in the dinosaur theme. I haven't found many dinosaur kits around. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Here is the preview for DinoBite.

Before you go be sure to grab this free quick page layout.

I'm Back...........kinda

Okay, so it has been months since I have been on here. I am so sorry for that. But, my pregnancy is finally at a point where I am stable again. I am going to try my best to get back into making beautiful kits, elements, packs, freebies, and cu items. Keep an eye out on this blog for new additions.

Also, I want to say sorry about never releasing my Christmas kit. It was a beautiful kit in my opinion but I just had too much going on. Hopefully, I might get one back up before next Christmas. :D

CU Freebie - Turkey

I hope you enjoy this element. It is a cute turkey that I made myself. I looked at some pictures and decided I could draw one on my own. So, I did. It is for commercial or personal use. Just credit me if you would be so kind I would greatly appreciate it.

I have only made one template before so if you have any problems with this template let me know. It was created in Photoshop CS3. I have divided the template into 3 sections (you will see when you open the PSD). There is a group called Body, Inner Tail, and Outer Tail. It is pretty much self explanatory. Now, I did not create the template easy so that you can just fill and layer with color or a paper. You must do a little work. Otherwise, the file would be huge for you to download. Let me see if I can give you a few tips.

1. Open the PSD
2. Select a layer that you would like to color.
3. Press CTRL+J to copy the layer.
4. Now, click back on the layer you copied (the first one) then press CTRL+SHIFT+N for a new layer.
5. This layer should be blank and be in between your original layer and copy. Right-click this layer and choose Create Clipping Mask.
6. Select the layer above this Clipping Mask and change the Mode from Normal to anything else (you can play with this later to get the color/effect you would like).
7. Now, select the clipping mask layer and fill that layer with a color.
8. SURPRISE you just colored that layer the easy way. And the best part, if you do not like the color or paper chosen you can just delete the contents of that clipping mask layer and fill it with a new color or paper.

Just repeat the above steps for all the layers and have fun coloring. I would love to see your results. If you have any problems with the psd let me know.

Okay, and the template is..................
