first ever freebie!!

BEAM BEAM BEAM! I wanted a doodled / drawn paper arrow for a layout yesterday and I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted in my stash, so I made some myself today *smug smile*. I am soooo proud of myself! Now, please note that these are not brilliant – they are my first attempt at making anything like this, but I thought I would put them here anyway (in case anyone else wanted some scribbled / coloured-in brown paper arrows for anything, you never know when they might come in handy) :)

You can get them here: CLICK HERE FOR ARROWS!
(Just in case you are not familiar with 4Shared, you need to wait until the file info loads (about half way down the page) before you get the dl links).

And then I got more carried away and decided to make some more stuff along the same lines and voila, some doodled paper bookplates and photocorners etc:

You can download them HERE. Anyway, if you like them feel free to help yourself and please leave me a little message to let me know what you think of them – be polite, if you can ;) I can’t tell you how much fun I had making them, it seems like ages since I worked out some ideas with a pen and some paper, sooo therapuetic. I have a feeling I will be making more stuff soon (like, tomorrow) – I think I need an alpha to match this lot….

And finally, here’s a layout I made tonight with my new arrows and a shedload of catscrap stuff:

I keep a folder on my HD called my inspiration file and I think I’m going to have to dedicate a folder to your LOs exclusively! Wanna help a girl out and just send me them all websized already? Lol. Seriously though, I really love your stuff and I think you are very talented… not to mention generous to boot! Have a great night / morning / afternoon … well heck, why not all of the above! :D Thanks!
