Wrap yourself in the gorgeous colors and textures of fall with the
PLENTIFUL
collection,a
digital scrapbooking kit by Shabby Princess :o) The Plentiful kit
is a rich and vibrant digital collection that is perfect for
fall/autumn - but is also versatile enough to use year round! The
kit includes nine richly textured papers (12x12 inches @ 300dpi), a
full alpha-number set (super versatile...and can work with sooooo
many kits and pages), 'on the edge' frames, vintage frames,
stitching, tape, flowers, fall rubons, buttons and more! Loaded
with gorgeous metals, foliage, papers and strings - these wonderful
elements will keep you scrapping page after page! I truly hope that
you enjoy scrapping with this kit...I know I had a lot of fun
designing it!
I am going to include
LOTS of info on this page, in an attempt to answer any questions you
may have :o)
Please understand
that we will NOT be able to answer emails regarding this free
collection.
Our free items are
downloaded so many times and we just do not have the staff or
resources to handle all of the emails. So, I have spent a lot
of time putting this page together - full of TIPS, SUGGESTIONS,
INSPIRATION and other INFO to help you enjoy this kit.
Please do not be upset that we cannot answer individual emails about
this product - we truly wish we could - there just aren't enough
hours in the day. So, please ENJOY this kit...and be sure to
share your layouts in the
Shabby Shoppe's GALLERY!
------------------------------
Here is some
inspiration from the fabulous
Shabby Artist team :o)
------------------------------
Please check out all of these tips and suggestions, as most likely,
they will answer any questions you may have :o)
:::DOWNLOADING::::
When you click on one
of the download links above (we offer both an all-in-one download
for those with fast connections, and a multi-part for those on
dial-up), you will be taken directly
to the download itself. This is where you choose the location in
which you want the file saved...then click save (you do not
want to choose the 'open' option). After the download is complete,
you'll need to find the .zip file on your computer and extract (with
WinZip) the files. Voila - you are finished and ready to scrap!!!!
:::DOWNLOADING ISSUES/PROBLEMS::::
Please know that we check our download
links MANY times (and with many scrappers) before ever making them
live...then we continue to check them several times a day to make
sure all is working well. So, please rest assured that we are
on top of the site and servers...and only provide good links :o)
With that said - the first couple of days after a new release - the
site and servers are VERY BUSY and might be slow at times.
Remember that this download (like all of our free digital scrapbooking
downloads) will be available for a LONG time, so there are no
worries...if the site is busy - please just try back later :o)
If you continue to have issues, read below for additional help and
suggestions.
The majority of the time...download
problems are the result of a poor or interrupted connection,
software firewall, anti-virus, download manager, etc. These types of
issues are more likely to occur with large downloads...but, can also
show up with small files as well. It is also not uncommon to
download many files successfully, and then have one that has issues.
So, believe it or not, download errors are somewhat common. Many
times...they do not show themselves until you try to 'unzip' your
file. They will generally result in a corrupted file/password
request/invalid archive error message. Again - all of these are
pretty common and do NOT mean that the download file itself is bad
(99.9% of the time...the file you are attempting to download is
perfectly fine). This just means that for some reason...the file did
not download completely OR correctly to YOUR computer :) Many
times, even if it appeared that your download completed
successfully, it might not have.
So – here’s how you fix this :) Or...at least it's a good start :)
If you are running a personal firewall or antivirus software on your
machine (i.e. Norton), please disable it just long enough to
download the file. It really does work most of the time – so, please
give it a try :) FIRST – be sure to delete the ‘old’ zip file from
your computer and even from the recycle bin as the new file will
automatically revert back to it if it is still present!
Also - it's always a good idea to make sure that you have a strong
connection, etc. Of course, customers who are on dial-up will
probably encounter more download issues than others. But, another
culprit is wireless connections. They often experience interruptions
and can result in an incomplete download. So, again - all of these
are things to consider when you are experiencing problems!
:::WINZIP/.ZIP FILES::::
WinZip is the software that allows you to
"unpack" all of the files that are included in your
download. When
you download the files - they are all "zipped up" in a ZIP file...so
you use the WinZip software to unzip (or, unpack) them...and then you will see
all of the individual paper and element files :) You can download
the evaluation version of
WinZip for FREE. Once you have downloaded our zip file,
you simply need to EXTRACT the files to your computer!
:::FONTS::::
As always, with any SP
product or free kit - you can find font information in the TERMS of
USE file included with each download. There will always be a
section titled FONT CREDITS (if I worked with any fonts on the
product) - so check there for specifics. But, for convenience,
I will let you know that I worked with NO fonts in this kit :o)
:::SOFTWARE::::
The most common
question we are asked is WHAT SOFTWARE DO I NEED TO START SCRAPPING
DIGITALLY? While there really is no ONE program that you have
to have - what you need to keep in mind is that the software/program
needs to be able to work with both .PNG and .JPG files. This
allows for working with 'layers' which is necessary for digital
scrapbooking. Layers allow you to 'stack' embellishments on
top of papers and photos, etc. .PNG files have a transparent
background so that you are able to stack without any kind of border
or background. So, your software will need to work with these
kinds of files so that you can do just that. From our experience,
PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS in the most popular and commonly used digital
scrapbooking software. There are good reasons for this :o)
It is reasonably priced and offers digital scrapbookers TONS of
functionality. I personally work with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and
while I LOVE it - it is really not necessary for the average digi
scrapper. There are also other software brands and titles
available for digital scrappers, though I am not personally familiar
enough with them to add anything helpful :o) Google can be
your best friend when trying to learn more about digi scraping and
the software available - so have fun searching!
:::DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING::::
If you are new to digi scrapping and want
to know what it is all about - please visit
this page for more info :o)
:::TUTORIALS and HOW TO::::
Please be sure to
visit our
TUTORIALS
page - I
think you will find them helpful! We have a WONDERFUL tutorial
which guides you through the process of creating your first digital
layout. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in
giving digital scrapbooking a try. And while the tutorials are
specific to Photoshop and Photoshop Elements - the concepts shown
will be beneficial regardless of what software you work with.
We also have a great tutorial which shows how to work with our
piece-a-cake products.
:::TERMS OF USE/LICENSING::::

NOT share the original cards and files. You may NOT create
these items to share or sell whether it be online or locally (again,
with the exception of sharing YOUR own personal pages with your personal family
and friends). I am trying to be clear as again, we will not be
answering emails about this product. If your question is not
answered here, then it is a NO <smiles>. In a nutshell -
PLEASE ENJOY this collection for yourself and to create and
give gifts to family and friends (in both digital and printed form -

original digital files, claim them as your own, create products to
