March FREEBIE Challenge (2025)

[Cassel]

Freebies are great resources that you can find in many places to build a library of elements, graphics, and tools. Since they are free, they are available to all.

For March, how about using these basic stamped letters? They would be great for titles, and you can easily colorize them if this color does not match your work.

They are available on this blog post.

Stamped  letters challenge. I am currently going through a circle phase.  I saw a layout similar by AnnieC so decided to copy it. As per usual, I have saved a template.   Allowing me to reuse it. All the circles are saved as vectors. Roll on Spring.

You are quick! I just see this challenge now and will have to see what I can come up with. I love the "ying/yang" circles, at least we call them that way. The photos of the Anemones are lovely, but I probably am one the very few persons that doesn't like them. So now you have met that person albeit digital and you know how much I like flowers. ☹️

I too call it Yingyang. It makes for a nice  different way to write text. I made a double page, mirroring this page.  You do surprise me. I  didn't  think that there may  be a flower you didn't  like. These are native anemones, quite different to the hybrid ones. I look forward to seeing what you create, which will be beautifully executed.

I find it funny (right word?) how I also go through "phases" of what grabs my attention. I really enjoy seeing what grabs yours.

The tag wasn't legible to read in the  layout.  I created the tag a while back, something a little different to the norm, all I had to do was to create the ribbon and thread it through.

I'm always on the look out for new ways to showcase my photos.  I get inspired by so much on here.  I enjoy the challenge of trying anything new.

I think this is the only flower I don't like and it must have something to do with a nasty experience I once had, it is the only explanation I can think of. I have something in mind for this challenge but had very little time today and you are setting the bar pretty high with your remark, but I like a challenge.......

This challenge became a kind of rollercoaster. At first I started in Affinity, but it didn't worked out well. The photo I choose was not suitable for what I had in mind, I had won the cass-Uneven Lines script and wanted to incorporate that in my layout but  found it for this layout a bit too busy. In the end I duplicated the layer with the lines and rotated it 90 degrees and used it as a background under the part of the layout that I already had done. I wanted something to write the date and used an icon with a handheld phone. Afterall that is how I take my photos.😉
