Raspberry Jam!

 

Welcome to February - our theme for the month is RED

I chose red fruit for my first kit and hope you like raspberries, one of my own favourite fruits.

From the right of the picture above the first paper is created using an image of raspberries.  I like how this came out.  The third from the right I made using the same raspberries you see on the clipboard.  Must admit I had fun making all these bits.  I have included my favourite recipe for raspberry jam, highly recommended. Both my mother and my grandmother used it!

Two lovely ribbons complete this kit.  Each ribbon is 1000px wide.

Papers are 800 x 800px and are all seamless so can be used for filling larger areas also.

Elements are all in png format.

All packed in my ZIP file which includes my TOU.

I must add that for those who do not like red my papers and ribbons are easily recoloured to other strong colours using hue and saturation.

During February we will be offering lots of red, desktops, kits, new cards, etc.

Be sure to check often at our main site

Vintage Style Cards or click on the red, red, red button above.

I also have links to all other Touch of Class sites down the left hand side of this page.

The Sea in Winter

I love the sea in all weathers so happy to see it chosen as the subject of this month's

Touch of Class theme.

This beautiful image was taken at Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland.

Isn't it a stunning image?  Both soothing and exciting.

Dornoch is on the east side of Sutherland facing the Moray Firth which flows into the cold North Sea.

This desktop is very rich in colour.

The background paper is made by me and will be included in a scrapkit later this week.

My zip file contains a widescreen desktop, a standard sized one and my terms of use.

Happy Christmas

My last gift before Christmas.

Here in UK we are freezing with snow on the ground.  Will be the first time for many years that Christmas will be white.  It has stopped snowing here but it is so cold it will not melt for a long time.

My snowman seems very appropriate!

In this kit there is

one paper 800 x 800 seamless

1 frame created using paper from my earlier post 600 x 600

1 tartan bow which is approximately 472 x 374

2 bells - one at approx. 600 x 650 and 1 approx. 300 x 325

and finally my gorgeous snowman

1 at 1641 x 1993 approx. and 1 at 615 x 747

All are in png format and all are easily resized.  Although I normally only make tagger size kits I am finding that many of my visitors prefer large sizes.

Full credits and my TOU are in my zip HERE.

Special thanks to Judy at TOC, Alice and Lone at Alo Designs and Bonnie at CMC Exclusive.  Without the wonderful scripts you make my work would be dull.

Christmas Ted

I love this little teddy and hope you will also.  The frame and teddy are two separate items.  Both created using Judy's lovely paper number five.  You can see the full pack of papers HERE.  The background paper is also from Judy's pack.

The rich frame and teddy are available in both full size and tag size.  Frame measures 2400 x 2400 px and a taggers version is 600 x 600 px.  Teddy is full size approximately 1306 x 1593 px and tagger size 470 x 547.

Christmas Candles

Would not be Christmas without candles!  I made the above candles for you using papers from my colour palette range.  They are so pretty.  For those who wish to do so they are very easy to animate also.

Size is approximately 140 x 390 px.  All are saved in png format and all are easy to reduce in size.

Plus this beautiful elf created by Cat who has dressed her using my papers and I gave her a candle to hold.  Isn't she delightful?  Thank you so much Cat for making her.

All the above, including the Santa paper background, is in my zip file HERE.  Terms of use and credits are included.  Please take time to leave a comment if you like this set.

Isn't she gorgeous? Dressed using my second from right paper. Holly measures approx. 419 x 515 px and made using a superb script from Alo Designs. They make super scripts and I am a huge fan.
