Oldies... And Hopefully Goodies!

Hello, everyone! I have some more older kits for you today. And, yes, I am still definitely working on new designs... plus trying to sort out all my files as I go. And that is definitely a work in progress, and not a quick job at all!

Today, I'm giving you some of my oldest kits, although they have been updated since I first released them, so you may or may not already have these ones.

The very first kit is actually an update of the very first kit I ever designed and released on my original Freebie Forum on Digital Scrapbook... all the way back when the site was still known as Pixel Scrapper. It's a paper kit of 20 papers, all in shades of purple. You can choose to download it as one large kit, or two smaller ones. Here it is:

Today's final download is made up of two kits. A bit of background here... Some of you will be familiar with the now-closed Scrap Twist Blog Train, which ran from May 2017 to January 2023. In addition to the monthly blog trains, we also had an extra thing where members of our Free4All Facebook page could request themes from the designers. One of these themes was Breast Cancer Awareness, and my part was a kit of 24 affirmation cards that could be printed out if desired. Here is that kit:

The second part of this download is a kit of the 8 papers I made to use in the cards:

I hope you enjoy using these kits, and I should have some new designs ready for you very soon!

The Great Laptop Debacle!

Hello, and welcome back to the blog! This post is to let you know where I'm at with regards to what I'm calling The Great Laptop Debacle! (As you can see from the title of this post!)

For those of you who may not know, my former laptop - only a few years old - decided to die on me. The cause? Corrosion and water damage, although I've never spilled any liquid on it. We've had very rainy, damp weather here all year here in South East Queensland, Australia (where I live), so that may or may not have had something to do with it... 

This was devastating for me, because my computer is literally what keeps me sane! In addition to poor physical health, I have also had anxiety and depression for decades, and the computer, and especially the designing gives me something positive to focus on, and is a form of therapy for me.

I'm on a low government payment, so I honestly had no idea how I would be able to replace my laptop, as it had taken me months and months to save up for it originally. Then when it was finally ordered, Covid hit, and the laptop was sitting in a dockside container for 8 months, until shipping eventually re-started.

I've been going to the same computer shop for over 20 years, and have built up a really good relationship with the guys there. They could see how badly this was affecting me, so they got together to work out how best they could help me out.

They researched the laptops currently available that would fit my graphics-heavy requirements (for designing), yet still be cost-effective for my limited budget, as well as having a 17+ screen size (to cater for my eyesight), and worked out a couple of different options for me.

With the result being... I now have a new laptop, which they have let me take home on no deposit, and I will be just paying it off when I can, in whatever amounts I can afford at the time. They know my financial situation, and they trust me. But the icing on the cake is... they're not making a cent off me, because they're giving me the laptop at cost price. Unbelievable!

Quite honestly, I still don't know how much it's going to cost, as every time I ask them, they just say not to worry, and they'll make up the bill sometime!

When I brought the new laptop home, I fired it up... and was so disappointed when I saw that the screen had a yellowish tinge to it. The guys said it looked fine to them in the shop, but they weren't looking at it with a design perspective, where the colours simply have to look right.

After much tweaking of settings (which unfortunately didn't help at all), they finally installed a program called AMD Software Adrenalin Edition, which has actually fixed the problem! It has so many settings that you can adjust, and now my display looks exactly how I want it to.

Here's the link, in case anyone would like to try it, or even just find out a bit more about it:

AMD Software Adrenalin Edition

Now that I have updated you on what's been going on in my neck of the woods, you can expect to see more posts on this blog, starting with the next Digital Scrapbook blog train! 

So, make sure you come back here on May 01 2024, for a 15-kit bundle, which is my part of the blog train!

An Easter Bundle For You

Hello, and welcome to my blog. I have an Easter bundle for you to download today, called My Redeemer Lives. If you were a follower of the now-closed Scrap Twist Blog Train, you may already have this, as it was a 2022 collaboration between several of the blog train designers. This 25-kit bundle was my part of the collab.

If you're visiting from DigitalScrapbook.com or if you're new to this blog, you may not have this bundle, which is why I'm posting it here, as we're heading into Easter 2024. 

Just a note about the final paper kit; its quite large, so I have split the kit into two smaller downloads. You can choose to either download the full kit, or the two smaller kits. Whatever suits you.

I really enjoyed designing this bundle, and I hope you enjoy using it.

is completely FREE, and will be available indefinitely.

I'm Back!

 Hello, and welcome back to my Dancing Tiger Designs blog!

I'm so sorry to have been out of action for so long, but not long after I deleted everything from this blog, and also from my freebie thread at DigitalScrapbook, so that I could reorganise, update kits and fix broken links... disaster struck! My laptop died, and I have only just now been able to get a replacement. 

Although I have a new laptop now, I'm afraid that designing is still on the back-burner for the moment, as the type of screen on this new laptop has a bit of a yellowish tinge, so nothing is showing up in its true colours. My computer guys are investigating whether they will be able to swap this laptop for another one with a different type of screen, so for the time being, I will only be posting things that were made with the old laptop. I can reorganise and update older kits, but there's no point in trying to create new kits when I can't see their true colours.

Anyway, I actually have something for all you patient people to download today -- a kit of 29 small colour palettes. These are palettes that I created to use in my own designs, and you can use them in both personal and commercial projects. Each mini palette is made up of 6 graduated shades of the same colour (apart from the Black & White one, because it's, well, black and white!) Each colour has its Hex code printed below the colour sample, so you will be able to exactly match items that you recolour. Each colour has also been gamut checked, which just means that it will print out in the correct colour (no nasty surprises!)

Here is the kit:

I hope you enjoy the palettes!

2024 Update...

Hello to anyone who still visits this blog! (And any new people who stumble across it!)

For those people who have visited before, you will probably already know that there are a lot of download links to my older kits that have become corrupted for some reason. I have also discovered that I need to update or upgrade quite a few kits as well.

Therefore, I have decided to delete all posts on this blog, and start afresh.

However, it appears that I have to delete every post manually, so 7 years of posts is going to take a quite a long time. I have googled how to delete multiple posts on Blogger, and have tried to follow the recommended steps, but I simply can't. So, if anyone knows how to do this, please let me know!

Once I have deleted all posts, I will start fixing the many kits I have to fix, and will post old kits and new kits, plus element templates, paper templates, textures and overlays... maybe even tutorials (who knows!)

So, there will eventually be a lot of scrapping and designing resources for you on this blog! For the moment, however, the blog is a work in progress!

PLEASE NOTE that any post AFTER this one will be a brand new upload, so all links in these future posts should work. Until I get all of the older posts deleted, you're welcome to try downloading older kits, but please be aware that the download links may not work. 

To sum up:

** Every kit previously uploaded to this blog will eventually be reposted with updated links,

** Every kit that needs to be updated or upgraded will be fixed and uploaded again,

** Every item on this blog will always be FREE for you to download, and FREE to use. All I will ever ask is that you use the item according to the Terms Of Use (TOU) file that is included in every kit.

** Everything on this blog will remain here indefinitely, and I will periodically check that the links are still working.

** There will eventually be a lot of new content posted here. This includes (but is not limited to):

Scrapbooking kits and bundles, plus items for designers, including element templates, paper templates, paper textures and overlays, printable quotes, as well as tips, tricks and tutorials.

So... WATCH THIS SPACE!
