NEW ---> Feathered Friends by Createwings Design

2011-12-15T19:24:00.001+08:00

Hey there :)

Today I have some gorgeous new products from Dawn

aka Createwings Design

They are available now in her shop at A5D

This is what Dawn write about her new kit which is on sale at the moment

Feathered Friends a Digital Scrapooking Kit by Createwings Design
Oh how I have a love for birds... so much I painted 10 of them for this kit! I just had the hardest time stopping. Birds bring my heart so much delight and when I look out my window I love seeing them in the yard. So I thought why not just make a kit all about my love for them!

The entire kit is watercolored by hand and each piece is filled with gorgeous details and texture. You will love how easily everything flows together. Over the past several months I have discovered a deep love for this creative process and from now on all my kits will be watercolored. I am really excited about this decision and I hope you are too.... it brings me so much joy!

I have included in the detailed images some close ups so you can see the beautiful details and gorgeous textures of the kit... Feathered Friends is very versatile and I've included many "Custom" shadowed elements too. Each piece is filled with lots of care and love and I hope you will enjoy capturing your own memories with it.

Ever get caught up in life so much that you feel like you are spinning around and around, flying by the seat of your pants, not knowing in what direction the wind will blow you in next?
Well, if you do, then you will totally "get" my new kit "Blown Away". If you have ever been in a hurricane or tornado you know that feeling of being tossed around with no direction or control and just "Free Flying" in the whirlwind.

What defines a Free Spirit?

Someone with a highly individual or unique attitude, lifestyle, or imagination, who is not restrained, as by convention or obligation, a nonconformist. Someone who is happy-go-lucky and generally easy to get along with. They go where the wind takes them... Like a cork in the ocean.. Like a butterfly dancing or doves playing in the breeze..

There are 9 Papers and 135 Elements and 32 Word Scraps/Art in this kit.. Please check the detailed images in the shop for a full view of whats included...

I also have a Blog Freebie.. there will be a link below all the previews..

Hollie has a brand new kit out @ Deviant Scrap of course :)

Ever heard the expression, "Knock on wood?" I am forever knocking. LOL! Just one of those quirks, I guess. This kit is all about wood. It's such a rich and interesting material. It comes in a variety of colors and textures. So many things are crafted from it. From utilitarian to fanciful, you will find it all. I thought it would be fun to create a kit from wood. So here you have it!

You can get it HERE
