Sweet Dreams Tutorial

Sweet Dreams - Jill


I was not going to do another tutorial today, really I was not. I was going to work on my New Years kit. But then Marie released this tube and I realized I had the exact, perfect kit for it.

So, you can try this tutorial at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

A little Irish Charm

St. Patrick's Day as it's currently celebrated is pretty much an American Invention that started as part of the Irish Labor movement in Boston. It's become more of an excuse for a party than anything, but hey...we're always up for a party, right.

Eddie Fishbowl's had a big stage set up outside with a live band that was rocking way past 11:00, plus many of the smaller bars in the area had live bands as well, something that's usually reserved for a Friday or Saturday night, so there was quite a lot of noise in my usually quiet neighborhood.

I had meant to post these yesterday but our internet is still out at home and I'd forgot to put them on the memory stick to take to work with me. It's okay, I've got a bunch of St. Patrick's Day tags to post, so...

The "Donna" posers in these tags are from KairinaKat Kreations and are available at Creative Scraps and/or the Aussie Scrap Store.

Irish Charm 1


These first two tags use scraps from the Irish Charm I mini-taggers kit St. Patrick's Day Grab Bag. I got that Grab Bag after I'd done my Irish Eyes kit, but I'm definitely storing the CU items way against next year's wearing of the green.

Irish Charm 2


The hat and the pot of gold are from Outlaw by Design. The hat in the first tag is the one that came with the kit.

Irish Charm 3


Tags three and four use items from the Lucky Charms II mini-taggers kit Created by Jill, and it's pretty much the same deal as kit one. Put together and despite the redundancy items, you end up with a really nice St. Patrick's Day mega-kit. I think the clover spray is from IC#1 though. I seem to recall going back and grabbing something from #1 but I can't remember now if it was this tag or one of the kitty cat tags. ::sigh::

Irish Charm 4


This is the hat that came with the kit - the one in tag three is from Outlaw - and I had a heck of time getting it on the girl. For some reason, I couldn't keep my hand steady on the mouse...perhaps I'm going through internet withdraw? That affliction made this week's T-13 a bit of a challenge of well.

On a side note, Rowena came in to show me that Danielle had colored her leprechaun "RED" at school. I pointed out that was fine, that the leprechaun was originally said to wear red, and that green was an American invention drawn from anti-Irish cartoons in the mid-1900's.

"Oh," she said. "My kid's a genius!" She also had corned beef and cabbage for the first time in her life yesterday and loved it. She's going to try to make Boston One-Pot this weekend for her family. LOL! We'll Americanize the girl yet!

Beary Bit O' Green

Queen Brat had been selling this scripts for these little bears. Friday, she put out a recall on her scripts and element packs due to a TOU by the artist, C.S. Greene, who originated the bears.

Her new TOU state NO COMMERCIAL Use of any of the end products of her tutorials, which the little bear script was written from. The new TOUs can be found HERE.

If you bought one of the CU scripts or element packs from Queen Brat, you need to contact her with the receipts, and she will replace it with a copy of her new "Toby Teddy" script. You can find the recall announcement HERE.

If you have the element pack or script that you purchased, you can still use it for personal use only.

I personally don't think the Toby Teddies are as cute, but perhaps they'll grow on me. They are definately not has cute as their namesake, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyway, I do not have the script, since I do not have the Eye Candy plug in you need to run it, so had bought these little bears from Scraps with Attitude, who's now pulled them off the market.

The scraps for these tags came from the Bit O' Green mini-taggers kit, Created by Jill.

Bit O' Green 1


The masks are from Wee Scots Lass (who else?)

Bit O' Green 2


I just thought I'd mention this in case you missed the recall.

Batty

I just love Lacy Clagg's art work and of all of her poser tubes, I think Batilda is my favorite. Yes, she's a little Halloween imp, but I think she just likes to have fun. So here is my Valentine's Day spin off using Batilda.

Lover's Lane

Lovers Lane 1


This tag uses scraps from the Lover's Lane kit from Scraps with Attitude. I'm not a "pink" person, it's not one of my favorite colors, however I'll tolerate "Hot Pink". When the ECHL Tallahassee Tiger Sharks hockey team first started up, the team colors were listed as black, silver and "Tiger Shark Red" which turned out to be hot pink. It was changed to the second year to red, but I still have a sweater with the hot pink on it, which is such a giggle.

The "heart" alpha is from Created by Jill and I got it at Heavenly Taggerz. This is the alpha I was looking for when I wandered into US4T and ended up spending more than I planned on. I'm probably going to do that again, but I was waiting for the Creative Scraps sale first (which started today).

Sweetheart


The gold heart shaped frame is from the Valentine Pendants CU element pack from Soxsational Scraps. The "Valentine Word Plate" is by Scraps with Attitude. You can snag it at Creative Scraps (on sale). The Sweet Pea Bears are from Tammy's Scraps and maybe I'm crazy, but they seem to have vanished out of the SWA store?

Batty kind of looks like she'll bite you if you call her "sweetheart" in this one. LOL!

Kiss Blvd.


The masks used in all the tags are from Wee Scots Lass.

Naughty


And what girl wouldn't want jewelry for Valentine's day? Although I think like most, Batty wanted a Diamond Ring, LOL!

S.W.A.L.K.

Batty little thing


The scraps for this tag and the next two are from the "S.W.A.L.K." taggers kit from Untamed Angel. I love her posers, but I'm not a big fan of her scrap kits. But I end up buying them because I like the previews. In effect, this kit is very similar for her "Heaven and Hell" kit with elements from her CU Valentines Elements pack thrown in.

I have noticed that I'm more likely to buy a kit if the preview looks snazzy, more than for any other reason. For example, I just recently started buying kits from Fi's Fault because she's changed up her previews and they appeal to me more. In the past, I just sort ignored them because the preview was sort of boring.

The lyrics are swiped from a Queen tune.

Batty is the word I use to describe...


This is a play on the lyrics from "Cherish" by the Association, in case you couldn't figure it out. I was fighting with the text tool again, but at least the glitter didn't mysteriously vanish this time around.

I see somewhere along the line I also moved the background paper too far to the left, and we have a white streak down the right hand side. I need to go and fix that tonight.

Batty 1 so true


This time the lyrics are taken from the song "Sunny" by Dusty Springfield. Nothing really exciting - or difficult - on any of these tags, but they were fun to do. :)

I hope you enjoyed viewing them as much as I enjoyed putting them together!
