Round 3 of Funky Playground Designs Teacher’s Pet

August 12, 2008, 9:14 pm

And I made the cut! This is my submission for Assignment #3, which was to create a mini kit using 3 pieces of clip art and keep a consistent theme throughout. We had to make sure at least 75% of the kit used the clip art in some form. I think every piece in this mini kit uses the clip art! Now, if this was a regular kit, it wouldn’t be so “themed,” but that was the challenge, so this is what I came up with. Click here to find out how to get it!

Wish me luck as we get into the home stretch. The winner (or winners?) will be given a chance to sell at FPD. I think we have 2 more assignments to go!

My 2nd submission for FPD’s Teacher’s Pet

August 6, 2008, 7:04 am

I was fortunate enough to make it to the 2nd round of the Funky Playground Designs Teacher’s Pet Program. Our 2nd assignment was to create a pack of extracted elements. This is a stretch for me. I’m not much of a realistic designer, but I had fun & was actually inspired to create a whole kit or two from some of the elements I played around with for this challenge. So here is A Hodge Podge of Elements and you can get it here (no more passwords, so just grab it from the link in the gallery description):

Who knows what else is in store for this program, but I’m having fun playing along. And the nice thing about this program is that they’re trying to narrow down to people who they think might fit in at FPD. But if you don’t make it to the next round, you can still take part in the assignments, learn (the fabulous Chere Kaye is giving tips, hosting chats & providing tutorials). So for this month at least, I’ll be learning & honing my skills and hopefully creating fun, fresh and unique items for the challenges.

Want this for FREE?

WANT THIS FOR FREE? WELL GO HERE & GET IT!

Funky Playground Designs is having a little apprentice program & this was my submission for the first assignment, which was to create a “trendy” mini kit. My take on “trendy” is fun, bright colors & really cool shapes. Retro seems to be really in these days, too, so I had a retro theme in mind when I came up with the color scheme and patterns. As far as trendy elements, I see a lot of acrylic/epoxy and buttons (flair) seem to be really popular, too, so you’ll see some of that in here. You have to get the FPD Newsletter in order to get the password to unzip, though, so go get on the list now!

New Product: Mariposa - just $1 until Friday only! FREEBIE, too!

May 22, 2008, 7:06 pm

EDITED 6-15-08 - This product has been moved to my store at SBE and you can now purchase the full kit and get the blog freebie included in your download. The freebie has been removed from my blog now. Thanks!

Grab this now while it’s only $1, because I think I’ve gone out of my mind. My newest release is called Mariposa & is perfect for your pretty little girls! It’s on sale ONLY AT SHOP JMT for just $1 through Friday night at midnight EST and then it’ll go to it’s regular price of $5.50 and also will then go up at SBB, too.

And here are some additional previews:

What a steal for just $1, right? Oh, and did somebody mention freebie? I had some extras that didn’t quite fit with the kit - the paper pieced butterflies was where I started and then decided to do a more whimsy/freestyle look with the kit. But I liked them so much, I had to add some numbers and a paper, too, so here you have it: (click the image to download it from 4shared - I’d love comments here or at 4shared!)

And, because I think I really HAVE lost my mind, be sure to check out the rest of my $1 specials going on now through Monday, 5-26-08: (click HERE to see my $1 specials page at ShopJMT):

There’s something for everyone there - alphas, paper packs, mini kits & even a full kit in there! Have a great weekend everyone!
