What Nots & Maladies: An Add-On Mini Scrap Kit for On Any Given Day When She Wasn't Really There

Hi All:

It took me A LOT LONGER to develop this add-on set for my most recent, free scrap kit, On Any Given Day When She Wasn't Really There. This particular kit took me in so many different directions, I really wasn't sure where to focus. One of the themes I felt was important to add in is illness. I rarely see scrap kits that deal with illness that don't have what I consider to be a little too much cute and not enough lateral room to journal freely and honestly about living with illness of any kind. Realistically, I don't feel done with this kit and imagine there will be other add-ons over time and not necessarily sequentially (re: Theme A, B, C and D). For now, the Add-On set features numerous elements dealing with illness but also my usual kitsch and nonsense....a download of the absurd, I suppose, but then, that points most to the fodder rolling around in my own head.

This Add-On set features 4 papers & 24 elements worth of altered art, primarily re-worked from photographs gleaned from personal photos taken throughout the past two decades as well as from generous Flickr members allowing alterations of their photos through Creative Commons licensing. The kit is sized at 1800 x 1800 pixels and created at 300 DPI.

Important Downloading Update - PLEASE NOTE:

In checking my Rapidshare download statistics, I noticed a lot of you are downloading Part 1 of the two part Dressing Room Scrap Kit .RAR file. The two files are interdependent and you must have both Part I and Part II in order to open them. I broke it down in to two parts so that non-premium Rapidshare users could download the kit, which just over 100MB.

Musings for a Rainy Day - Free Scrap Kit

My latest mini scrap kit, replete with a kaboodle of elements, select papers and a few word art style quotes to inspire you! I owe big snaps to Flickr member and ATC artist extraordinaire "playingwithbrushes" for making some wonderful, flea market find, vintage photos available for alteration via Creative Commons licensing. I thoroughly enjoyed making this kit and hope you derive the same satisfaction using it! 1600 x 1600 @300 DPI! Keep in mind that industry standard digi-scraps are 3600 x 3600 pixels @300 DPI --the equivalent of a 12 x 12 printed page. I do not currently have the "horsepower" on my desktop to work at 3600 x 3600. Creating a scrap page with one of my kits for screen viewing on a CD or your desktop will offer you plenty of "real estate" space; however, best results on a printed page will be around the equivalent of a 5 x 5 photograph.
