In this period of frugalness, I’ve been scouring the internet for freebies and bargains (like you don’t know . . .).  So, to give a little back, I’m giving away two collage sheets of ATC Beach Backgrounds.  If you scroll down a few posts, you’ll see how I used them.  Feel free to use them in your art, or whatever – well, not whatever whatever – you shouldn’t use them to make your own collage sheets for sale or anything like that – but, as my dad would say, use them in good health.  If you do make something with them, let me know – I’d love to see it!

Make sure you download them from Box.net as opposed to just right clicking on the images – these jpegs were optimized for the web, the ones on Box.net are 300 dpi and suitable for printing.

And, another bit of swappage – a postcard I made for my Facebook group – I decided to go neat and nice, not messy, and go digital:

This was made from Tumble Fish Studio’s new collection, Nitty Gritty II on Deviant Scrap.  Did I mention Deviant Scrap is having a sale – all new kits are 20%, everything else in the store is 40%.  I think the sale ends on the 6th.  And, aside from the sale, every month Deviant Scrap publishes a free e-zine, The Deviant Muse, usually with some digital goodies included.  This month the newsletter is awesome – lots of free stuff in celebration of their birthday.  They’re also having games and such over on their forums, one of which is to turn yourself into a Zetti.  Now, since I didn’t play by the rules (you weren’t supposed to make a background), I’m not playing along, but it was too much fun to pass up giving it a go – so here is Zetti Wendy –

How sweet is little Lemon’s face in the background?
