4shared Downloading

The download page for 4shared has become a nightmare, with five – FIVE! – download buttons showing in my browser. So I made a little graphic to make things a bit easier. This may not be the only way that works – if you have success with some other, go right ahead doing what works for you. But this way won’t deliver you an exe file or whisk you off to some ad site.

Directly underneath the name of my kit (on the download page), you’ll see a little message from me. Directly underneath my message, you’ll see the smallest Download button. In the image above I’ve highlighted it and then added a BIG ARROW  :-)

 

 

 

Here it is showing the full page. Click on that small Download button in the white box, download away, then pop back here and say Hi! I do love reading all your comments.

Verdigris

I’ve been playing away with the Color Challenge swatch. Digging deep into my stash of Photoshop brushes and actions, I found a foil action – and then used it on the wrong item in my workspace – and this was the result! I included it in the file, just for fun  ;-)Although I like these colours and have used some of them in my home decor, I found it more difficult than usual to come up with a digi kit for them. But here we are. The previews are divided to show the lighter elements better, but the download is just one file.

 

 

 

I added two perfect buttons from Deb (Scrappincop) after the previews were done, but look at that horse button! Doesn’t it go beautifully with my dancing horse paper? And the other button mirrors my yellow flower. I couldn’t leave them out. Thanks, Deb.

 

And then I found a border that I’d worked on for the kit but then forgotten about. This is not in the file at all, but here it is if you’d like to add it. Click on it – it will open full size in a new tab. Then Right Click to save to your computer.

 

 

 

Cardz

I’ve discovered a brand new Card Sketch Challenge, Fusion

And had a little play…

Papers in the chevrons are from juno Spring Zest

Totally different from my usual style, right?

Not sure I like it, but challenges make you think outside your normal zone.

That –  I DO like!

Another Flower Stamp Card, this time in Quarter Letter size for my non-European pals  :-)

 

And here is Kim’s Colour swatch for April, just posted. What things would you like to see in a kit using these colours?

Flower Stamp Card

Diane mentioned in one of her comments that the Flower Stamps would make lovely cards. Which started me thinking…and together with this week’s Mojo Monday sketch, this is how your Flower Stamps might look on a card. Thanks for the idea, Diane

The pleated flower is from Kim Broedelet, nearly everything else is from a 2011 freebie, juno Hope Springs.

The postal cancellation mark is a PS Brush from Deb, the Scrappin Cop, which I believe is still available. Check out her Postcard Backs while you’re there as well.

Other fun things to go with your Flower Stamps are these postal marks from Cathe Holden.

THIS SPECIAL SERIES IS NOW CLOSED FOR COMMENTS

Why not subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss the next one?

(See sidebar)

And so we come to the end of this series. I absolutely love these silk embroidered flowers, don’t you? The stamps are about 5.5 x 6.5 cm in size, and most are just short of 1MB. Included in your folder will be 18 PNGs, each design with and without a dropshadow. In the end I made 9 stamps, because I wanted to do two separate Journal Tags for Tuesday; one for daytime which was Nisan 13, and one for after sunset, which was Nisan 14.

What does “Nisan” mean?

Nisan is the name of the first Jewish lunar month of the sacred calendar, corresponding to part of March and part of April.

Jesus’ death occurred on Passover, Nisan 14. The evening before he died, Jesus ate the Passover meal with his apostles and then instituted a new memorial meal to commemorate his death.

Jehovah’s Witnesses observe the Memorial after sundown on Nisan 14, according to the reckoning of the Jewish calendar that was common in the first century. The Jewish day begins at sundown and extends until the following sundown. So Jesus died on the same Jewish calendar day that he instituted the Memorial.

As I mentioned from the beginning of the series, this is a Special Event download, available only to those who participate. Thank you so much to all of you who have left comments and sent emails. I’ll be in touch over the next few days with your download links.

What was Jesus doing today?

Nisan 16

(Luke 24:1-12) . . .On the first day of the week, however, they went very early to the tomb, bearing the spices they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the memorial tomb, 3 and when they entered they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were in perplexity over this, look! two men in flashing clothing stood by them. 5 As the women became frightened and kept their faces turned to the ground, the men said to them: “Why are YOU looking for the living One among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has been raised up. Recall how he spoke to YOU while he was yet in Gal′i·lee, 7 saying that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be impaled and yet on the third day rise.” 8 So they called his sayings to mind, 9 and they returned from the memorial tomb and reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 They were the Mag′da·lene Mary, and Jo·an′na, and Mary the mother of James. Also, the rest of the women with them were telling the apostles these things. 11 However, these sayings appeared as nonsense to them and they would not believe the women. 12 But Peter rose and ran to the memorial tomb, and, stooping forward, he beheld the bandages alone. So he went off, wondering within himself at what had occurred.

A Bonus Tag and Stamp  :-)

This completes the series.

A special Thank You to Jodiann of SKYPIE fame

Journal Tag Thursday

What was Jesus doing today?

Nisan 15

(Matthew 27:62-66) . . .The next day, which was after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together before Pilate, 63 saying: “Sir, we have called to mind that that impostor said while yet alive, ‘After three days I am to be raised up.’ 64 Therefore command the grave to be made secure until the third day, that his disciples may never come and steal him and say to the people, ‘He was raised up from the dead!’ and this last imposture will be worse than the first.” 65 Pilate said to them: “YOU have a guard. Go make it as secure as YOU know how.” 66 So they went and made the grave secure by sealing the stone and having the guard.
