New Stuff and a CU Freebie Too!

The world has gone mad!! I was working on an idea for a kit and was explaining about the idea to my DH. Basically when I was a young child and still living in Scotland there was a children's rhyme "Wee Willie Winkie".

This is how the rhyme goes:

Wee Willie Winkie running through the town, Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown. Chapping at the windows and crying through the locks "are all the children in their beds it's past 8 o'clock".

I thought that this would make a good basis for a kit, with a little boy in a nightgown carrying a candlestick etc. I had all sorts of pictures and word art in my head.......all cute!! But then my DH said.."You can't call it that!!". Shock, horror!! That would be so un-PC.

I'm afraid that I am perhaps not as aware, so to speak as I should be and political correctness goes over my head most of the time. "Can you imagine the search engines picking that up" he kindly pointed out..."they'd assume it was something not very nice!!"

Just to wind him up I replied "What do you mean..not very nice?". OK, so he was not amused or fooled by my apparent stupidity.

But what is happening to the world..it's a nursery rhyme!!! But OK, I've taken onboard what he says and I won't do it. He did suggest that I called it Little William....but I never was one to compromise on something I saw as a principle...not even a small one like this!!! It's Wee Willie Winkie or nothing!! So I have shelved the idea...the world is not ready for it!So I'll just stamp my foot and have a tantrum instead!! Lol!

Apart from my rant,  there's news of new things in my store and things to come, plus a commercial use freebie too! So read on!

Today's freebie is personal and commercial use. I had so many comment on the stamped borders that I decided to play around with stamped frames. I have made a few for the shop but I thought I would share some of the others with you.

 

You can Download the Stamped Frames here

I'm really excited - today my new kit went in the shop at Scrappin Digi Kreations and yes...it's 40% off until next Friday!! Can't put my finger on it but I really love this one...It's just what it says..simple. But that makes it more versatile.  Take a look - the kit consists of 12 papers and 30 elements: 4 frames, 4 bows, 4 flowers, 4 flower brads, 1 rikrak, 5 ribbons, 4 journaling blocks, 4 buttons.

My blog is bulging, a freebie, new stuff and news!

Well its the weekend again and I am so glad!! This Sunday the gorgeous Lilly comes and stays with grandma for 10 days...yes 10 days!! I am sooo excited but a little wary...what if she doesn't like me after the second day...OK so after the first, lol! I hope that I haven't lost the old touch!! My daughter is going on a field trip and I don't know which one is most like a chicken without a head, her or me! We both keep thinking of things that we need to do before Lilly comes. My hubby thinks we are both nuts, its only a say he says! I wonder what he'll say come next Friday, lol!! I was hoping for good weather so that we can go for walks and she can have a bit of time outside but it doesn't look promising so far....fingers crossed. So next week I will keep a Lilly diary to let you know how I get on.

OK so first the freebie for today!! Ever the optimist...well, I need to be with our weather, lol! I have made some summer borders for your layouts. The hint at summer, flowers and sun!! I hope you like them.

You can download the borders here

I've changed the link...sorry I got it wrong. Its the correct one now. Thanks for letting me know.

In preparation for next week I have been trying to get as much done as possible and I've taken the week off from my "day job" so I had to get things organised and finished up there. I had to put my new kit in my stores, the kit is called Bella. It is shades of pinks and blues, lots of white too, ideal for summer. It has two doodle girlies that add a touch of fun! If you like it then its on offer at both my stores Scrappin Digi Kreations and Studio Style Designs for a week. So take a look!
