Easter PU Freebie kit Re-Release


Originally I was going to re-release this on Monday 30th with Easter rapidly approaching, the shops are full of Chocolate Eggs and Easter bunnies and I thought I don't want my lovely friends to miss out on getting everything ready for Easter.

Then my CT have outdone themselves (AGAIN!) and sent me lots of lovely goodies to show you what you can do with this kit and some more (YES MORE!) printables from Marlene.


So I tried sitting on my hands but I just couldn't wait any longer so here it is again:

21 papers, various frames, elements, ricrac ribbons etc, not all shown, shadows only in preview.

Download here:
and don't forget to check out the Spring & Hop Collab I did with Dorothy too it was a while back now but that's quite Eastery too!
I'll be back tommorow with all the Easter goodies from my CT so keep watching!

Enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mothers Day!

Hope all Mothers out there are being pampered and looked after and treated with the respect they deserve.

My children made me some lovely cards, my son sewed me a little teddy bear and planted me a spider plant at cub scouts, my daughter made me a pretend vase of flowers at rainbows and made me a pot plaque out of clay which she had painted at school. They did a Mothers Day assembly at school yesterday too which was lovely.

Hubby organised them into making a chinese take out meal for lunch which was scrumptious!

Hugs to you all,

What does Gallimaufry mean?

I have been asked by various people where the name Gallimaufry came from, well the dictionary definition from various sources are as follows:

- odds and ends: a motley assortment of things
- A jumble; a hodgepodge

a friend of my parents called their house this and I remembered it when coming to chose the name of my blog! Hope this explains it enough for you all?

I'll have more for you later!

Tranquility QP's PU Freebie


We promised you some add ons so here are the QP's I've made, I'm sure Dorothy will be doing some for you too!

Hope you like them? In making them it made me realise how versatile this kit really is, there's load of options in there so if you've not downloaded it yet, go get it girls!
I've also realised that since I've been designing so much I've hardly done any LO's at all, so I think I'll utilise the kits I've been making to make you all a load of QP's that way I get to make LO's and you all still get your freebies! Of course I'd love to see what you've all been making too!
Take care,

Dandelion Dawn PU Freebie kit


How much fun did I have making this kit?...loads! I lurrrve the colours and shabby chic look of it.You can't really tell from the preview but some of the papers have a lovely dandelion brush detail.

I discovered how to install new brushes and the one I used here is from http://www.obsidiandawn.com/ and if you're a designer you just have to check out her stuff she's amazing! I also found another site (although not used the brushes yet) which is http://www.hawksmont.com/

Other credits for this kit go to Aubreysmom and Yarrow for overlays, and the bows are Cajun designs, I know I don't really need to credit for most CU items but I do like to anyhoo! The rest is my own!
There are 12 papers, 13 elements.
Hope you like it as much as I do?
Download here:
Enjoy!
Some thanks would be nice too, it only takes a second and it really is appreciated, hundreds are downloading but only a handful say thank you, it really is just common courtesy and keeps the freebies coming!

Thanks!

Thanks to all those who have sent me info about other sharing sites, and especially to all those who have reassured me about using 4shared! I did a lot of research about the issues, including trying out a few of the other sites available. However I still found 4shared to be the easiest and quickest (not to mention free!) to use.

From what I can gather the problems are with the ads and cookies and NOT on the downloads themselves. So if your computer is thoroughly protected and you don't click on any ad links you should be safe.

Thanks again to all my loyal followers and subscribers!

TumiBugz PU freebie


A while ago you may remember me saying my kids were off school with a tummy bug, well I drew these little creatures because my sona nd I were trying to guess what tummy bugs actually looked like...and so TumiBugz was born!
Includes 12 grungy papers, 3 splats and 9 tumibugz!

Hope you like them?

A few people have been saying they don't like using 4shared due to problems they've had with viruses. I've tried using Rapidshare but its totally un-user friendly. Does anyone know of any other file sharing sites I could use that would be free for me to use and free for people to download from?
In the meantime I'm afraid these files too are on 4shared!

Corrugated Card Elements Freebie


I've been having a play with the cookie cutter tool and my newly scanned corrugated card and this kit is the result, hence it is fine for PU/CU/S4H/S4O. There are more than shown here and shadows only in preview!

Hope you find them useful, as I have already done, they go great with my Spring Butterfly kit as I'm sure they would with anything really! I included a couple of cars, trains etc as I know how hard it is to get hold of basics for boys!
Enjoy...I'd love to see what people do with them!

New Look Blog!

Whoop! Whoop!

Well it took me an age to sort it out ( I always forget that it needs to be 72dpi! LOL!) but I got there in the end, and those of you with wider screens will get a slightly better version (more of the dark brown edging!). Its amazing what one can do with a supermarket yoghurt box and some stamps innit! te he!

I decided that my old brand was too 'in yer face' and didn't always look great next to some colour schemes (even though that was why I had chosen it the first place, I thought that black and white would be great for that!). Also my branding label wasn't working on my previews either.

so wadda ya think girlies?

anyhoo signing off for now...

Take care,
