I’ve added some cute new badges to my Badges section of the KStar Freebies: some are added to previously-existing pages, such as the Baby Badges & Proud Mommy, but others are completely new and have their own new sections:
Hoping to add lots more to the collections, since these ones are all created using mostly the same design. Although I did add this extra funny one:
It’s funny because it’s so true!

I created these in a much less busy week than this one (although every week seems overwhelming these days it seems), but had saved posting them for “later”. Unlike other posts I had saved for “later” which are still kicking around as drafts, I do intend to complete this one and get it up…
I’d like to share these little family sig tags with you. They could be used on a blog or website as well (or even a Facebook profile page since they are static).
The Royal Family set have an image for the king, queen, prince, and princess of the family. They also have additional graphic for princes, princesses, and counters of how many of each you have. The Bear Family is a simple set with Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and a couple choices for your Baby Bear graphic.
The Family Words set has even more possibilities for it’s use, as the graphics are stand-a-lone words. So in addition to siggies, you could use the images on pictures or as clip-art in your documents, family calendars, whatever you can think of!
And finally, there’s a Bugs and Flowers grouping that I hope to expand on if there’s any interest. Just a few very tiny graphics for tagging your kids’ names and for decorations in siggies and in other places:
These little family tags were mostly inspired by the mommies at the YM Boards that I happen to run (if you’re a young mommy check them out because we have an awesome group!!!). It’s been the style lately to just have really short and simple – but colourful! – family ID tags in the siggies. And mostly everyone has done a great job using colours, keyboard symbols, and all the cute “smilies” that are available.
But of course I’m always looking to create new cute graphics, so I thought I’d combine some of the design possibilities into individual tags. They’re colourful and decorated and some have the same animals and smilies as are on the boards anyways. I hope they catch on just beyond our group!
The complete set of tags can be found in this section of my KStar site.

Sorry for being a little MIA in the “blogosphere”. I’ve been busy enjoying a Mother’s Day weekend followed by a birthday weekend (yep, finally 30)! Also, someone liked my mother’s day cards so much that she ordered a set of them herself. They’ll be recreated in the same design but as end-of-the-year teacher’s Thank You cards. I’ve definitely jumped eagerly into this small job; it’s about the right size for me these days. 
Back in the online freebie area of my work, here’s a very cute new offering I hope many moms online will like:
FREE Mommy Badges
I was excited to finally put this project idea into reality… I’d had ideas about making badges with little faux-stitching around the edges. They turned out pretty close to what I’d pictured!
