Peacock Kit by Doormouse

---

I think peacocks are just so beautiful don't you? I particularly love the colours and the way their feathers shimmer. I love watching them wandering about with their tail feather open, and the phrase "proud as a peacock" really fits don't you think? So naturally - I was inspired to create a peacock kit. I love some of these backgrounds so much and had such fun creating them that there might be a second kit inspired by these majestic birds one day. I have split the download in two to make it slightly easier for some to download.

This is just a small Add-On of flowers and tags. I got hung up on experimenting, and then couldn't decide which flowers I liked best, so I included them all, lol! Hope you like them!

Wild Roses by Doormouse

---

Here is another kit based on a couple of photos I took. This time some beautiful wild roses. I love the deep pinky purple of this kit. By my standards this is only a small kit, there are only two papers with this kit and several elements but I hope you'll agree this is enough. Don't forget to let us see what you did with the kit, as we really enjoying seeing how creative you all are! Enjoy.

This kit contains some of the very first elements and backgrounds I ever created! Although it is not very big, I do plan on making additional elements at some point in the "maybe distant" future, so keep your eyes open for an addon!!! Happy Scrapping!!!

Love Remembers by Doormouse

---

Unfortunatly we all have times when we want to create scrap pages to remember, or pay tribute to, a loved one. Finding the right words can be hard, so I hope that the word art included with the kit will help you express the way you feel. When you love someone, you will always carry their memory with you, but sometimes you need something you can look at too. The kit includes a quick page with a poem on it that I think expresses very clearly how we always carry our memories of those we have lost with us. All you have to do is insert your picture.

This page is the quick page that comes with the kit, with a photo of my grandmother.

Japanese Garden by Doormouse

---

I have always love Japanese art forms and was inspired by Xntiks Oriental Odessey to design something Japanese. I could have gone on and on as there are so many possible sources of inpiration. Mostly my inspiration was a visit to a garden with an oriental theme and some of the photos I took. The bridge I found so beautiful I just had to include it. Its a bit different for me, I hope you like it. There is an alphabet included with this one. The background papers are all based on bamboo or crumpled paper with cherry blossom.

Hollyhock Kaleidoscope by akida29

---

I am really enjoying the Kaleidoscope effect, as both this kit, and my previous one, were made with it. Everything but the journal papers was made from a single picture of a hollyhock. I hope you find the designs as pretty as I do!!

Xntrik Goes On Vacation - What Fun!!

Well, my dear Friends, Pauline went on vacation, so Therol and I decided to follow suit. We're going to Utah to a family reunion and to see two of our Grandsons, then on to re-explore the wonderful Southwestern area we live in. We've plans for going to Moab, Utah (there is a fabulous micro-brewery there), the Petrified Forest (but I don't think they'll let me bring home a sample from there LOL), Canyon de Chelly and then where-ever the road leads us. We plan on being back around the 30th, but may come home sooner and just hang out here. That's whats lovely - no plans, no reservations, just the big old sky and us! I hope you enjoy my next kit - All In Green. Tina and Pauline posting it for me while I'm gone(it is in two parts - cause it's big). Hugs, Xntrik aka Linda

These are quite dark papers, and I was being a bit self-indulgent when I created this page. I just love these photos that Alan took of me last week - and I don't like so many photos of myself these days - and the colours of these papers seemed just right for them. So, this is me cruising on the English Canals - and having a great time! I know it is just a simple LO - but I couldn't bring myself to "hide" too much of the background paper!

Hi - I'm back

---

Well - I have had a wonderful week cruising along the waterways of England. Our route was altered by the floods that the UK have suffered of late as some sections of river where inaccessable. However - we still had a great time! Below is a Layout of photos from the first half of the week. I decided that the photos said it all. The name of the narrow boat was "Just Chuggin Along" As you can see from the Lay out below - I have proof that I got to steer!
