I discovered such a gorgeous freebie kit called Swirling Love on Candee's blog -Mermaids Haven. I could not download it fast enough to scrap with it.

I use PSP X at the moment, but I am thinking of getting Photoshop Elements. I would be interested to hear if you can actually do more with Photoshop. If anyone has used both I really would like to hear your thoughts. I know Photoshop CS3 is the best but in this country it is phenomenally expensive! (one day when my ship comes in:))
I have found with PSP that the quality of 3600 x 3600 papers is not 100%, or am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help me? I have made these papers 1200 x 1200(300 dpi) as they quality is still great. Is it the way I save my papers or the way I make them? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. Also something else I would like to find out, how many of you resize your papers before scrapping, and how many use the large sizes? How many print out your pages, or do you do them purely for posting in galleries? Please leave me your thoughts in the comments section, these are things I would really like to find out. I know I always resize to 600 x 600 and resize the elements accordingly, as I don't print out my LO's, I love doing the challenges and posting them in my galleries, and they have to be 500 x 500, so resizing is necessary. It is far easier and quicker as far as I am concerned to resize before scrapping (In PSP anyway)
Ok, now that I have written a book, here is my latest venture, Arabian Nights, inspired by an Arabian Nights costume party we went to. It comes in a few parts, as I keep adding to it, so check here in a few days for the next part. I hope you like it, and if you feel anything is not up to scratch, I would love to hear, as it will only help me improve. This is something I really love doing, and have so many ideas, but to actually create them is a matter of trial and error for me at the moment. I hope you don't mind being my guinea pigs:)

Here is another little freebie for you, also one of my "experiments" with trying out a bit of creating. It was inspired by my daughter (See LO below) I hope you like it. I am working on something different that is taking me ages, looking forward to being able to give it you when it is ready. WATCH THIS SPACE.
My daughter Cherye
Please leave me a comment on my blog if you take it, thanks so much
