Getting Creative - and a Freebie!!

If you know me at all you know I have a bit of an entrepreneur spirit. I had a country craft business for a while and seem to always come up with ideas for business – not always ones that make money!! I think it’s something in the family genes. Last weekend we were at a Farmer’s Market that included a variety of vendors and I suddenly began mentally starting a new business – decorating a booth, managing computer and printer set up and starting a Scrap 4 Hire business. Reality set in and I put that to rest – for now anyway!!

However, I have started taking some digi designing classes at DigiDesignResort. I’ll learn how to create paper and embellishments to create my own kits and some of the things I would need to know about a digi design business. And, who knows, maybe when I retire (or before) I can start a digi design business.

Several weeks ago I created my first papers. Now I have created my first scenery papers. I will admit that I was a bit skeptical at first but once I got started I really enjoyed creating them. I still wasn’t sure how they would be used.So – I played with them for a while – and had even more fun. Today I offer them to you – yep – a freebie - Country Scenery Papers.

Here is my creation – the scenery background paper is made with a photo I took on a morning walk earlier this summer. The other photos are flowers in the yard where we stayed on our Smokey Mountain vacation near Gatlinburg, TN.

I used Orange Spice by Carena, an additional background by Cuddlebeez and the frame by Jealop.
And here are the papers.....Country Scenery Papers. If you happen to download let me know what you think - I would love to hear from you!!

Guess that’s it for now. It’s Saturday morning. I’m enjoying my morning coffee and I have one cleaning project that I plan to accomplish. Other than that I am hoping for a relaxing weekend. Hope you have a great day - and remember to laugh a little!

I really like the papers. I am in the Safari Club as well at Digidesign Resort and have just completed the tag homework and tutorial. I can't wait to see the tutorial for the paper. Thank you for sharing your creations. I don't have a blog so don't know how to share what I will be making.

See you at the club,
Mary Ann
