We have a little internal contest contest going on within our Scrap n' Art DT girls to win some cool stuff from Making Memories. The rules of the contest were to Create a LO using absolutely NO premade embellishments. That means no brads, no ribbon, no staples, no glitter unless you make it yourself! For the digi designers, we had use our own designs. Tools could be used to create the embellishments but the only thing on the LO itself must be hand made or digitally created.
SO...with those rules, I set out to create some stuff and the best part is...you get in on this too. I am making it available for you to download for FREE! All the doodles were hand drawn and there's a few extra things included in the kit that I just threw in too.
Here's the page that I made with my kit for the challenge.
And here's the mini kit...
UPDATE: Some of you are having problems with the links, which is what I was afraid of. I'm on a different computer now so let's try it this way instead...I was able to DL them ok and open them. Bear with me I'm new at this link, sharing, file storage thing :)
Alphas: http://www.4shared.com/file/
Elements: http://www.4shared.com/file/
Papers: http://www.4shared.com/file/
The kit includes:
7 papers
1 polka dot acrylic alpha, lowercase, numbers, some symbols
1 cardboard alpha, lowercase only
2 epoxy doodle flowers
1 clear glass element
1 bow
1 journaling spot
1 photo turn
1 brad
1 sheet of screen mesh
1 doodle frame
If you have any problems with the downloads PLEASE let me know cuz I've been having issues with 4shared and my zip files lately.
Note: Clear Acrylic Alpha is not in this kit. You can download it for free by clicking on link below the image.

And speaking of kits, here is a little sneak peek of what we have in store for you for the September/October Issue at SNA. This kit will ONLY be available inside the September/October issue of the Scrap N' Art eZine, which debuts on September 1st, 2008. It is NOT available for download on the Scrap N' Art website.
Most of you probably know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Well...Angel, Vicki and I teamed up to bring you a HUGE collaboration kit...Think Pink! It is filled with digital pink goodies, hand drawn doodles, word art, ribbons, gorgeous papers and 2 alphas! Make sure you are an SNA subscriber so you don't miss out.

The doodle of summer kit looks awesome!!! I downloaded the alphas but had trouble and couldn't download the papers and elements!
Thanks

This kit looks GREAT! I was excited to scrap with it TODAY but I was only able to download the alpha.

Hi -
I could download the first two links (alpha and elements), but not the second two (paper and clear alpha). I tried a few times, but it seems 4 shared isn't working correctly on the links.
Thanks,
Jody

Hi Chere,
This is my first visit and I love your colorful creations AND the name of your site! Fairies are some of my favorite people!
I was able to download the alphas from this Doodle of a Summer kit but the other two links said "not valid!" :0(
