* Can I use these designs for resale?  Yes! Here are the simple rules:
1) After you purchase the CD, email me to let me know you plan to sell.  (That way you will avoid Ebay pulling your auctions with the VERO program)
2) You can recreate the individual designs to include them in projects such as layouts, artwork, cards, ect...; but you cannot sell them individually.  For example, you can recreate the Birthday Cake to add it to a layout for resale; but you cannot sell the Birthday Cake alone.
3) You cannot exactly duplicate any full project shown on the CD.  For example, you cannot recreate the 'completed' Birthday Surprise Bear Portrait for resale; but you can recreate separate pieces to incorporate into your projects.
4) You must include this credit in your listing: ''Birthday Cake (or Birthday Teddy Bear or Balloon Animal) Pattern by Rainedakota Designs™.  Used with permission''.
5) Pieces are limited to the amount the owner of the CD can hand-craft.  
6) No production teqhniques of any kind may be used to recreate these designs.
Please email me with any questions.  

It has always been my passion to further scrapbooking as an artform.  In addition, I intimately know that Scrapbooking for Resale is not easy, particularly in the economical market of today. Many use it as a way to earn extra money or work inside their home with their kids.  To that end, I count it a blessing if these Designs can help you achieve your personal goals and increase your profit.

This project shows all of the Mix & Match Designs.  
Note- these Designs are easily adaptable to fit both girl or boy themes!!

The Birthday Cake on the left looks sweet enough to eat!!  This is a really good example of Miniature Embellishment.  You may find it easy to create piecing shapes, but then are left without the right size or look of embellishments to add realism to your projects.  Much of the focus of this CD is using techniques to create a believable picture.  Dont let your embellishments detract from your artwork.  Instead, use them to enhance it with breathtaking results.

Details Make the Difference!!
Notice the sweet Birthday Bear is holding a Pull Toy with her favorite 'Stuffed' Toy Teddy Bear along for a ride!!  Take a minute to really see and capture all of the unique and fun pieces of this Story.

Birthday Cake
Create in any combination of colors for different themes such as boy birthday or wedding.

Birthday Bear
Notice the sweet Heart Cupcake.

Birthday Presents
In the CD, I show the presents separately.  You can arrange them in any number of ways.  Look below for an example of a Birthday Card I made using some of them.

I am always on the lookout for embellishments that create realism in unexpected ways.  Guess where I found these?

Pull Toy
I wanted to show you the Pull Toy without the bear so you can see the whole thing.  Notice the incredible details from the button wheels to the string/bead handle.  

Now you can see how the Mix & Match Pieces fit together.  This allows you to create endless projects with these Designs.

Here is a cute Boy Birthday Card using the Mix & Match Designs on the CD.
