The beautiful designs at Sentimental Style are for personal non profit use only and they have been created in Paint Shop Pro X. All of Melissa’s creations are mainly created for taggers so her designs are on a much smaller scale than the average industry sized scraps.
Despite their smaller size, there quality makes it worth checking them out. Her freebies include alphas, embellishments as well as whole kits.
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like.
Wordle is a Java applet, and Java applets are not permitted to write anything to your disk, so it can’t be saved as a png or jpg file. But you can take a screen shot or convert to PDF. PDF’s can be opened in either Elements or Photoshop and you can edit and add to a digiscrap layout.
I have never highlighted an individual layout on this site before, but I was sent a link to this one and it touched me, so I wanted to share it with you. If you have ever lost a loved one to Alzheimer’s or one of the many forms of dementia this will touch you too.
Susan Hobbs has completely redesigned her site – Heart2Heart Designs. Susan said, “I’ve combined my website with my Blog. With so many sites/blogs out there I figured… what the heck! why not combine them. You’ve heard of hybrid scrapbooking. Well I guess you could call this hybrid blogging.”
One stop now does it all. Tutorials, articles, journal prompts, challenges, FREEBIES!, blog posts, and, yes, even her store! One of the changes is that it is now easier than ever to get some of her very nice freebies.

Designer Royanna Fritschmann of Divine Digital is offering her entire “store” for $29.95. That includes ALL Commercial, Personal & S4H/S4O Products. Over 575 Products available for download on a 3 Day Shopping Pass. Once payment is processed and cleared, you receive your 3 day shopping pass to download all that you can in the 3 days. She is retiring these products to make room for my new product lines.
Australian designer Trish Jones has decided to “change her focus” and is retiring from designing. Until August 31st you can purchase her entire store for $19.99. With over 400 items it is a very tempting offer, especially when the designes are so creative!
I reviewed Scrapping & Stampin with Savitri last May and just recently she has updated, rearranged and added new tutorials so I thought I would bring this site to your attention again. The video tutorials are easy to locate and with over 40 tutorials there is a wide variety of topics covered.
If you haven’t stopped by and taken a look recently click on over!
CoffeeShop Photography provides free tutorials and actions for Photoshop and Elements. The actions for Photoshop work in version 7 and above and the actions for Elements have only been tested in PSE 6.0
The tutorials are related to the actions, not how to run them, but how to create the same effects without the action. Looking at those tutorials makes you appreciate just how useful actions can be!
Here is an example of just one of the many free actions sets Rita has made available on her blog:
Artistic Scrap Designs is a newly opened digiscrap store, that includes a gallery, blog and forum. The designer, Jen Clark, is a friend of mine from the Photoshop Creative Elements forum.
Unfortunately, Jen’s computer crashed a couple of days ago, which put a halt to the uploading of product to the store, but there is still a nice selection of unique paper packs. I’m sure there will be more intersting things coming from the Jen’s creative mind very soon.
This is not really scrapping related – but I know there are a lot of scrappers that are font junkies and you are going to get a kick out of this video called Font Conference.
