Free Online Userbar Generator

Leave a reply

I am sure you have read often enough my complaints that I am not creative at all and if I have the choice, I would prefer to use ready-made graphics, themes, clip art, etc that designers generously share with us on their websites and blogs.

However, I recently noticed a couple of friends using different userbars (350 X 19px graphic bars) on a forum that we hang out daily and I am sure that their unique userbars are not available for free. They told me that they designed the userbars themselves using Photoshop. Urgh, that’s the problem, I don’t even have Photoshop installed on my computer. If I have it, I wouldn’t even know how to use it!

Just now, I was introduced to a free online Userbar Designer which I could design my userbars right from my browser without having to install the program.

This is a free userbar generator but they have premium version at US$2 per month only as well which comes with greater features, including adding text mirror, drop shadow to text and animated multi-frame text .

Although there is a warning that this is a resource hungry application, my three-year-old system could still handle the design creation page smoothly. If you are using a free userbar that you downloaded from the web, it’s time to create your own. It’s free, after all!

FREEmium Free Premium WordPress Theme

If you know me, you will know that I run multiple blogs, and all my self-hosted blogs and websites are powered by WordPress so I am always on the look out for free themes. Throughout the years, I have learnt to only download themes from the website of the designer or owner, so if you are new to WordPress, you should note this.

I came upon this free premium theme called FREEmium a couple of days ago during one of my searches. I am actually looking for a free WordPress theme that is suitable for my WordPress powered website.

FREEmium looks like it could do the work except that I do not have the time to customize it to my requirement. Looking for a theme is one thing, customizing it is another. Well, I’ve already downloaded it but will sleep on this first. Why don’t you check it out?

I believe I have written about Fonts & Things before but since it’s Valentine’s Day soon, I decided to feature them again because they have an awesome selection of fonts especially for Valentine’s Day.

If you have been planning a personalized Valentine’s Day gift or project, you should check out these free Valentine’s Day fonts in various colours, that would surely be suitable for whatever you have in mind.

Besides fonts in letters, there are also heart shaped and kiss dingbats. Oh, although most of these fonts are freebies, do take note that there may be some which are actually shareware. Do check first before downloading.

Digital Scrapping Freebies From Cottage Arts

I guess I could never get enough of digital scrapping freebies. I like them so much I wonder why I am so dumb that I don’t know how to make my own. I really could kick myself. Sigh… what to do when one is born WITHOUT creativity?

Now, I would like to reiterate that I am not a scrapper myself but I keep looking for these freebies because my sister is one and she told me previously that she spent X amount on scrapping materials. I told her that she has wasted good money because there are so many digital scrapbooking freebies online that one could use as they like for private projects, like hers.

If you like digital scrapping as well, it could be addictive, check out my other posts on digital scrapbooking freebies. You could search for them using the search box. Enjoy!

Free Awesome Cross Stitch Designs & Patterns

When I was in school, I used to start a lot of cross stitch projects. I had to buy my patterns. Well, you know back then, there was no access to the internet so we had to buy everything.

The problem with me was that I did not know the proper way to stitch. Moreover, I was always ready to start a project but pretty impatient to finish up the project, hence it always looked like a rush job towards the end.

Anyway, if you have been looking for free counted cross stitch designs and patterns, check out this collection by Lizzie*Kate that are free to download and use. I tell you, they are awesome.

Free Valentine’s Day Recipes

A friend was discussing with me the best eatery to patronize come Valentine’s Day next month. Frankly, Valentine’s Day has gotten too commercialized and everything costs way more money than previously. Inflation? You bet!

I was telling her the best way to avoid the cost is to prepare her own Valentine’s Day dinner. And I have just the right website for her to “snag” some Valentine’s Day recipes! The Holiday Spot has a very good Valentine’s recipe section and they have placed their collection of Valentine’s recipes very well into eight different categories.

The saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and it is so true. I believe that if you prepare these recipes for love and with love, you will see amazing results. :-)
