Just Clarifying ...

 I'm just wanting to clarify:  the only thing I really share that is completely AI created are the tubes.  A few of the older, colored word art (like the summer ones I shared in 2025) were initially done in AI and then tweaked and such in PSP.  My masks, tag templates, black/grayscaled word art, old kits .... all non-AI.  If something is made with AI I will state it in that actual post, and usually which generator I used.  If I do not state "made with AI", then it was NOT created with AI in any step of the process.  I don't know how to make tag templates - or any other kind of layered item - in AI, and while I did attempt masks, the results were atrocious and nothing I'd consider sharing.

So if you are a non-AI person, rest a little easier when looking at my stuff and wondering "is it or isn't it" .... the post for the share will tell you that it IS AI, or, if not mentioned at all, not AI.

I hope that helps clear things up.

Old PTU Now FTU Kit: Day At The Beach

 I thought I would share one of my much-older kits that used to be PTU and now sharing it as FTU.  It is pre-AI - made in 2012 - so none of it is/was AI generated.  In fact, everything was handmade by me in PSP.  No scripts, no grayscaled templates. There are 2 sizes:  tagger, and full-sized.  Here is the preview to the kit:

The TOU *may* have my older scrap blog link and such listed.  If so, just manually update it to show this blog and link instead.

The Full Sized Kit is broken up over the course of 10 zip-files (5 elements, 5 papers) as the file sizes are bigger and intended for those that would use them in digital scrapbooking.

The Tagger Sized Kit has 2 zip-files (1 elements, 1 papers) as the file sizes are smaller and specifically intended for just tag-creating usage.

They're all on Mediafire.

Here are the links.

I ask that you not re-upload these to file-share sites and share in groups, forums, etc.

If you wish to share this - and I'd love it if you do! - please give them the link to this post.  Thanks for understanding.

I hope you like and thanks for looking!

If you make anything with it, I'd love to see!

And happy creating, everyone.

Just some info on abbreviations for taggers and those using digital scrapbooking

 Hello!

This is just a short "info" post ... wanted to put this here as a more-or-less something to use as a reference to fall back to as/when needed.  If you think this might help someone else, please ... feel free to share the link to this!

In a Facebook group I'm in that is geared towards PSP taggers, the following question was asked:  "What does 'PU' stand for in the context of digital scrapbooking?"

I responded with the following (below).  I also wanted to share it here for those that may not know or recall these abbreviations, or just needed a little refresher.  If you can think of something I missed, let me know and I'll be sure to add it.

When using these abbreviations, you do not need to use the quotation marks.

"PU" = Personal Use (Only)

"PTU" = Pay To Use

"FTU" = Free To Use

"CU" = Commercial Use Allowed

"R4R" = Resale for Resale (*)

"GPG" = General Permission Granted

"GP" = Group Permission

"DNU" = Do Not Use

"NL" = Needs License (to use)

"CC" = Copyright Compliant

"TS" - Tagger Size

"FS" = Full Sized (actual digital scrapbooking size)

"ppi" = pixels per inch

• Tagger Size is usually done at a lower ppi/dpi (somewhere in the range of 72-79 ppi) while Full Sized is done at a higher ppi/dpi (usually somewhere between 200-300). Also, the size/dimension of Tagger Sized is typically smaller, with papers and elements not being larger than 800 pixels on the largest size. Full Sized is usually around 2000 to 3000 pixels on the largest size.

*R4R = This is what I've always known it to be.  If someone knows it differently, let me know?  Thanks.

Hello and Welcome!

 Trying something new and different for me.....  

Years ago, I had tried my hand at selling scrap kits - wasn't that successful.  So, for the time being, I'll be sharing all my scrap kits - both FTU and Previously PTU - here on this blog.  I'll also be sharing other stuff made in PSP and other places, such as masks, frames, backgrounds, gradients and so forth.  There isn't going to be any kind of schedule to the shares.  I might share once a week, or back to back, or possibly weeks in between.  Whenever it hits me and I post.  The scrap items are in zip-files, and the TOU will be in there, too.

Also, have recently gotten in to AI and use a variety of different programs - sometimes I'll use one image and put it through 2 or more.  I know some are leery of AI, or refusing to use it and that is your prerogative and I respect that.  However, please reciprocate and respect my desire to use these AI generated products, without argument.  I - personally - just view it as another (digital) art tool, just like some use Procreate or Photoshop or Wacom tablets.  Based on the info provided by many of the AI places, they are not USING other artist's art.  What the programs are designed to do is, if prompted, they are using the art style of whatever artist might be mentioned to help get an idea of what the designer/creator is trying to accomplish.  I see this as not much different than a (traditional) artist using inspiration from other sources, including other artists.  The percentage of an "artist" showing up in a finished AI image (or even their art style), when combined with all the other stuff via the prompts ends up being quite small.

That being said, to cover all bases, I checked out the TOUs/TOS for the different AI programs that I've been using and what they do and don't allow (etc.) and I will provide the links to them on the side of the blog.  When I post anything for FTU share that was designed in an AI program in any manner (even if just a small percentage), I will note it both in the post and on the item.  Since my understanding is that AI generated art can NOT be copyrighted, when using my (AI) stuff, you can use the following for crediting:

I also started up a new tutorial blog, which can be found here:

I'm not sure if I'll be reviving my old scrap blog - if I do, I will let you know.  I *do* have all intention(s) of reviving my tutorial blog, which is still usable and found here:
