Scraptorial - Make-A-Kit Extravaganza (Day 4 - Repeating Patterns, Polka Dots &amp; Clipping Masks)

And this is how I end up with too much when I design. Why make one when 8 look like fun???

And a bit more restrained for Christmas Desert...but still not just one. LOL

Had so much fun doing these, I did not know when to stop. Found a course I bought long time ago on how to make your own paper. Made these following the course.

Gail, those papers are so unique! I especially like the one in the middle with the clusters of dots. And the two on the left look like bows!

My repeating pattern papers.
I'm having a great time with this, and am learning things about AP.

Hello again all dear ones...have done days 3 & 4 & feel I've caught up finally; though I'm ashamed to say I didn't do full justice, in the sense I've done only 2 stripes & 5 polka dots...felt really lazy & impatient with all the layers stuff! I apologise for saying that to everyone as I know how hard & diligently you all work at PS but for me it takes longer, so patience-wise, meh...sorry again!

I made this one paper as a themed paper, but I need help. I got images from vecteezy.com and they say I attribution is required. What do I need to do.
Thanks

Chitra, the challenge was to do one of each...so you are fine! The rest of us overdid it and will have a difficult time qc-ing, doing attributions, and uploading everything within the limits of Commons. I've run out of kit uploads already this week
I hope you are able to relax now that you feel caught up...though there is NO hurry and these challenges will not disappear...so please don't stress.

Gail, attributions in commons can be put in the description area. As an example...one of my papers:
https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/tricia-ptktj/designs/22-may-dc-qi-part-2-frame-graphic-element-southwest-desert-red-green-brown

So if you sign up for commons, that is easy. In a download file, make a text document or jpg attributing the designer. This is what I am doing now:

I pull in a preview of the resource then take a screen shot of my "Thanks" folder. But anything that makes it clear that you used something from that designer on that site will work as an attribution. You may want to make sure that "PU" is part of your file name since no one else should use it without attribution either.

@Tricia - ...the thought of qc-ing before uploading to the Commons !!! but it has to be done!

Chitra, I love your papers, especially the roses pattern in bling!
I don't think apologies are necessary at all-----layers are tedious!

Your designs are really beautiful and well done. As for me, as I am a beginner, I kept it simple :

Too many designs??? No such thing! (Except when you run out of uploads in the Commons and have to wait days to finish sharing your kit. LOL) I want to tell you which of your HO HO HOly night prints I like the best, but I can't pick. Too many cute choices. They are all just fabulous. I love the little ring of glow around the Christmas lights--what a neat detail.

The desert Christmas papers are very cool, too and the ones that are just Southwestern would work for lots of different subjects, not just Christmas and that is awesome. I love versatility. That cactus and lights are super cute though and now I am thinking I need to visit you at Christmas Time to take pictures so I can use this paper for a page of two. Lie if you must, but please tell me you decorate a big ol' cactus you have in your front yard with strings of Christmas lights. I want to believe!

Lovely job, Tricia. Thanks for sharing and I adore your lack of restraint because those you share with, reap the benefits! And I am all about the bennies!

Gail, I am so tickled to hear you are having FUN! That is just the best news and exactly what I was hoping for everyone who joins in. YAY! You made such a wonderful variety of polka-dotted papers. I love the tiny ones that are off-kilter. That is such a fun detail. I am so impressed you did so many different designs. And so happy you pulled out that course on making papers and used it! I have a few things like that languishing on my hard drive and I need to be more like you, and dive in and check them out. Excellent set of papers, m'dear. Love each and every one of them!

Hey, I've been noodling on a name for your kit and feel free to not use 'em, but what about "Born to Ride?" Or "Live to Ride?" Just a thought for what it might be worth to you. No worries if they don't appeal to you.

Candee, I am so happy you are having a great time putting a kit together with us. That is just the best thing to hear. I was so hoping anyone who joins us would indeed have a bunch of fun, so YAY! And thanks so much for letting me know. I'm grinning ear-to-ear!

I think I already told you how much I love the colors you are working with, but it bears repeating. They are absolutely gorgeous. So soft and so pretty--especially when you lay them out together like this. Love your snowflake pattern. Like Tricia, I think you just can't go wrong with snowflakes. This set of papers will be amazing as backgrounds for all kinds of winterish scrapbook pages. I can see so many fun elements and prints going with them. They make my greedy little paws itch to play with them! Really wonderful, appealing set of papers, my dear and thanks so much for sharing them with us. You are showing Affinity who is BOSS obviously and that is a wonderful thing as well!

I knew I was right, Tricia. Definitely no such thing as "too many" papers. The prints you added to your collection of Desert Christmas papers, make the set even MORE fun. Argyle! Little triangle trees! Holly! All awesome additions for your theme and those colors together are so rich and appealing.

And PLAIDS, too! Gosh, I just love your plaids. This set of colors was MADE to make plaids with. I want a whole set of flannel shirts in all those colors and prints. Love the soft distressed texture, too. Those are amazing. I am having the hardest time waiting to download. I want to snag all the goodies everyone is sharing, abandon the whole make-a-kit project and just SCRAP with this stuff until I can't see straight!

Chitra, no apologies necessary! You are free to make as many or as few of anything. Or skip a prompt that doesn't appeal to you. Or just do your own thing. This is a no pressure-have FUN-no apology ZONE!

I adore each and every one of your sets of patterned papers! The damask clipped to those big, bold polka dots is such a fun idea. And the textured stripes are beautiful, too. (I always look at your stuff and think "Man, I bet her house is decorated so cute!") I just love the way you combine patterns and colors. Fresh and sometimes so completely unexpected, and always so fun to look at! And you hafta know I just love the glitter ones. You can never have too much glitter and adding it is ALWAYS a good idea in my opinion. So pretty and funky! And all the forest-y patterns are a delight, too. Foxes and deer and wolves and bears and bunnies . . . I love them! Beautiful collection. You've been so busy making pretty things and I can't thank you enough for showing them off. They inspire me to get busy myself and that is a wonderful thing. Excellent work, my friend!

I hear you on PS being tedious. It really can be at times. I remember when I first opened it up again after my nine year hiatus from designing, I was overwhelmed. I had forgotten where stuff was and got so frustrated trying to do things that I used to do so easily. I really struggled to stick with it, and get up to speed again, and I am still slower than molasses in January, but I just keep plugging along and close it down when I have had enough. Take a break. Do some retail therapy or read or play a mindless game and then I can get back to layers and poking around trying to make PS do what I want! LOL

Hi Annette. Great minds think alike. I was thinking about the same names and finally named my kit, Born to ride, before I saw this. Thanks for the magic stuff.
