I have completed my second freebie. It is called Grandma's Button Box. My kids were given a button box by their great grandma. I had friends come over and see them playing with the buttons from there. Most of my friends commented that they remember their grandma having a big button box like that and they had loved to play with the buttons in there. That is how I came up with the idea for this kit. I played around with some of the elements a little more this time. I liked the photo frames I made. I made them a little more complex than I did with the first kit. I made more ribbon this time too. I found a tutorial on making beads, including pearls, so I tried that. I don't think they look anything like pearls. I got the color right, but not the shape. I used the sphere filter, but they don't resemble a sphere at all. If anyone knows of a good tutorial on making beads, please let me know. I obviously need to work on beads a litle more. I like the way my buckle turned out but I wish I could have figured out how to give it more of a distressed metal appearance, like an oxidized metal.
Here is a LO I did with this kit. It is a very simple LO because it is a very simple picture. I don't like my LO to overpower my pictures. My husband thought it was funny that I didn't do a LO with my other kit. He asked me if that means I didn't like it. I told him that of coarse I liked it, I just got involved in making LO for my CT and trying to get the kit on my blog. It never even occured to me to do a LO using my kit. I decided I should be sure to make one this time.
Once again, I have made both square and rectangle papers, so take your pick. They are the same papers, but different shapes.
ENJOY!!!

About the sphere tutorial in the website ScrapGirls there are a lot of very good tutorials and if you go to the forum there and make a search for "Beads" or "making beads" you will get a thread with instructions for PS and PSE that should be what you are looking for. :) Try also looking in the tutorials of Scrapbook- bytes, they have lots of tutorials and they are very good ones.:) I hope this helps. :)
The new kit you have made looks fantastic. It seems the book you were reading is very good as you are getting very good results. :)
Thanks and best wishes. :O)
