A laugh at my expense and some free boy stuff

LMAO – if that is not the worst preview EVER. I did tell you I wasn’t artistic LOL. Anyway – you can laugh some more at me for this one. When I saw Pam’s last set of Run Elements I was **SO** excited. I adore the pewter dozer, it is one of my favourites (I give up trying to have a single favourite from the ABC kits, I love all of it). The reason I was so excited was I remembered I had some piccies of my son from a few years ago playing in the sand with his tractors. I had a rough idea of the sort of layout I wanted to do and without checking the photos first I decided to make an overlay / brush of tyre tracks. So the kids thought it was great this afternoon that we could pick through the toy car bucket and pull out some with interesting tyre textures, roll them in ink and roll them on the paper. Then we scanned them and extracted them, and created brushes and .png files for those that can’t use PSE brushes. So I was all set, I opened up the photos files and ducked and dived into each month, I knew it was winter 05. Mmmmmm he wasn’t playing with his tractors in those photos, he was playing with his castle moulds. SIGH. Remember it is all about the photos LOL. I normally open them first, but no I was so sure on this one. Anyway, the fruits of *our* labour (it was a group effort) are in the three .png files or abr file you can download here. Thanks to the curly wirly twirly girly and the noisy woisy boy-zy for their assistance. I really hope someone can use them so it was not all in vain – maybe a clever designer type could create a good paper with them (hint hint anyone ? they are shared under my freebie friendly TOU). At least my sister in law should be able to use them, my nephew is a car-a-holic. To add insult to injury my son did this great page with lots of tracks all over it that I was carefully cleaning up for an overlay. I went to check something leaving child unattended next to computer with unsaved file. Mmmm you can do the maths on that one LOL. Will redo it and post when I have stopped kicking myself.
BTW I am so glad Pam’s ice cream talk had other’s salivating. I will have to force my husband and children to have choc chip cookies in the house and I will give the cookie paper a go. I have no shame LOL. I was trying to scan in curtain hooks the other day because I thought they would make interesting hook / danglers for scrap book pages - that's another story LOL. I think I need a holiday LOL.
Best wishes,
