Friday Freebie – Fun find

March 14th, 2009

Hello friends! I thought this free photo effects tool would be a fun find to share this week. Dumpr is a neat website with a bunch of different effects you can add to your photos. Just upload a photo, click a button and magically transform your image. Super fast and easy! I particularly like the sketch effect. I think you could use this to make a unique gift for someone. To test it out I uploaded a photo of my brother’s house and viola it’s now a cool sketch.

Friday Freebie – Cute bunny patterns & Easter ideas

March 6th, 2009

Q.D. Patooties - TippyHave you started any Easter projects yet? I found the cutest site called Q. D. Patooties. You know with a name like that it’s gotta be adorable (and it is)! Major softie cuteness, a bunch of free patterns, and some cool tutorials too. I know it’s not really a scrapbooking freebie, but you can use the patterns for paper piecing. Just re-size the patterns so they are smaller. I think the Tippy pattern will make a really fun paper piecing embellishment.Q.D. Patooties - Bunny

I’m always looking for cute bunnies for my little Nika. I think this little cuddly bunny would be sweet in an Easter basket.Q.D. Patooties - Felt Ornament

Check out this tutorial for felt ornaments. I’m imagining an egg shaped ornament using this technique would be really gorgeous. The process is super easy too!

Happy Friday everyone! XOXO ~ Cathy
