Snowflake Illustrations #1
$2.99
I love drawing snowflakes, and this is a collection of some of my favorites drawn over the last few months. They range in size from about 2.5 to 3.5 inches, just the perfect size to add a beautiful accent to your winter pages.
As with all of my products, they're commercial-use friendly, but you're more than welcome to use them for personal projects as well.

Acrylic Brads Templates
This set of brads and flairs is designed to make quick work of adding a few to your kit. With several shapes to choose from, and several sizes per shape, there's always something that'll fit perfectly! I've included hearts, hexagons, stars, and a couple of arrows in addition to the traditional round and square shapes. Sizes range from tiny 1/4" studs to a 2" round flair. As always, my templates are CU-friendly, including for CT and freebie use.

Handpainted Ornate Frames
Ornate frames are a perennial favorite in digital scrapbooking because they always add an elegant touch to a special photo. They're almost always extracted photographs, though, and that just never seems quite right on a more artsy page. These three will fit right in, though, since they're each a work of art in their own right and show off their handpainted nature in visible brush strokes and less-perfect edges.
Each comes as a layered PSD with a base color, shadow, and highlight layer so that you can recolor them to your taste. If you're a traditionalist, just recolor the base layer and tweak the blend modes on the other two. You can achieve some fantastic mixed-media effects by clipping a patterned paper as an overlay to the base color layer, too, and then letting the shadow and highlight layers add dimension. If you're going for a psychedelic look, try recoloring each layer with contrasting colors.
As with all of my CU originals, you're welcome to use these for personal and commercial use, including CT layouts and kit release freebies--just be sure they're modified in some way and flattened for freebies, and credit me for the original templates.

Valentine Scatters
Scatters always add an extra dimension to pages, and I've got 10 good options for those Valentine's Day kits and layouts here. They could also be used for sweet-themed kits, or you could change hue/saturation on the corn to make it fit Halloween candy corn or harvest corn. The satin hearts could work equally well for everyday kits, babies, or weddings, in addition to Valentine's Day.
I've left the cinnamon gumdrop hearts and the Valentine corn in their original colors, as it's often easier to tweak colors on them by using a hue/saturation adjustment layer. The satin hearts are in grayscale. All are at their original sizes as shot, ranging from 1500x1368 for the small pile of corn to a full-page-width 3586x2792 scatter of satin hearts. The preview is at 50% scale to show them all.
All are commercial-use, CT and freebie friendly with credit, as well as being fine for PU/S4O/S4H.

Winter Branches #1
I needed some natural elements for a layout I was making, and apparently nobody is brave enough to extract evergreen branches without charging a fortune for them, so I photographed and extracted my own. These are priced a little higher than my usual element or papers kits, but I spent most of a week on them. Each spruce twig takes about 2 hours to extract, using the fastest clean method I know (by comparison, I extracted a small, simple maple leaf in 8 minutes the other day). It's a good thing I don't charge minimum wage for my time! :) As with all my products, these are commercial-use friendly with attribution in your credits document, or can also be used for personal layouts or S4H/S4O.
See the associated new product announcement post on the store blog for the freebie wreath made with these elements (plus a couple of my snowflakes). The clusters are for demonstration purposes only and are not included in the download, though they will be going out to newsletter subscribers soon as a freebie. (I'll add them to the new subscriber welcome newsletter, as well, so if you miss the original newsletter, you'll still be able to get them for a few weeks.)
