I am not accepting asks on this blog anymore. I am now at solarre.
☼
I have abandoned this theme blog and created a new one at solarre.
I've decided that a change was needed. My coding style has changed immensely since the start of lunecerise, and I decided it was best to start fresh. Questions about my old themes will no longer be answered. Lunecerise themes will no longer be active, but this blog will remain purely as an archive. Thank you all for a great experience. All themes coded under lunecerise will still be found here. To see the blog, continue scrolling.
ahh yes~ this is my last texture pack! (im pretty sure.. maybe?)
this took pretty long.. yeah i know. it was pretty brain straining trying to think up complex ideas and improved textures people would actually want to use. fml please like the textures and transparents or i swear to kim jonghyun’s vocals that i will cry and eat raisins for the rest of my life (pls dont make me eat raisins omg..)
so uhh.. lets get to the contents!
in this pack:
20 textures
15 transparents
tips & tricks
lol this is the third time but, there’s the cover and rules (lol swag cool cool)
lastly, please read the rules once you have downloaded the texture pack. AND like/reblog if using!
soooooo school is starting in about a month for me and i gotta start thinking about Time Management: the #1 creator of stress tbh ~ so here are some methods of how to successfully manage yo time during school or breaks :]
It’s summer break for me, so I am taking sometime to make some that will help with once school starts. I love all the arts and beautiful supplies that you find a lot of photos of when you scroll through a studyblr. Here is a list of supplies you could make to save some money and do a bit of reusing and recycling.
Make one from graph paper and have a mini bullet journal. Keep it by your bed make to record dreams. Use blank paper and make art journal. Keep a journal of motivational quotes. Make it small and easy to grab on the go.
I think these are adorable and look great in any study space. I have a glass jar that I saved from some chip dip and I’m going to painted it blue and with a motivational quote.
I love these. I love cute notebooks but I cannot justify spending more money on the cute ones when the boring ones work just as well. Lucky studydatefortwo made a tutorial on how to make personalized notebook covers. They used Photoshop to make their covers but I recommend Gimp, very similar, very easy to use, and Free.
Easy to throw in your bag and go. I am making one right now out of a pant leg of a pair of pants that don’t fit anymore. There are lots of no sew ways to make one too.
This was my first original post and might a bit rough
so in order to thank you guys for helping me reach this amount I made not only a follow forever but a texture pack! and you’re probably thinking “but gosh kaitlyn there sure are a lot of dark textures in here and you blog/edit pastel… what gives” we’ll, i’m calling this a screening texture pack because a majority of these I personally would screen over the background to make them look a little more texturized. It’s up to you though but hopefully these will be of use. if not then oh well…

This is part of my guide on how to start learning a language quickly and efficiently. You can find the whole guide here. (Note: an earlier version of this list had 200 words. I added some more in order to cover a wider range of situations.)
If you learn just 300 well-chosen words in your target language, then you can talk about most everyday things. (By “words”, I really mean lemmas, i.e. I’m counting “run” and “runs” as one word.) When trying to talk about a topic, there will probably be a few key words that you don’t know, but you can ask for or look up those words and then use them for the rest of the time that you’re talking about the topic. You can see an example of how using the 300 words works.
* Note 1: Being able to speak doesn’t mean that you’ll immediately be able to listen to and understand the language. See note #2 on the guide. However, you can have conversations if the other person slows down and speaks simply, and you can also practice writing.
Here’s the list of 300. I hope it’s a useful guideline and starting point for you. I may revise it, so please refer to the original post for the most up-to-date version. In addition to these general words, there will probably be some others that will be among the most useful for you (e.g. “class” if you’re a student). When you find yourself using them again and again, learn them too.
* Note 2: You should really think of this as a list of concepts. Your goal isn’t to translate each word to a word in your target language, but to figure out how to express that concept in your target language. In some cases, a concept may translate to multiple words (for example, I listed “you” as a concept, but in some languages there are different words for “formal you” and “informal you”). Some concepts may translate to no word at all, but rather a certain grammatical structure (for example, Russian doesn’t use the verb “have”; to say “I have a cat” in Russian, you say “at me there is a cat”).
Use a dictionary to find out how to express these concepts in your target language (for some subtleties, you’ll need to google or ask in a forum). After that, I suggest memorizing the words by making yourself a Memrise course with the words and going through the course. Learn to be able to go from the concept to the word in your target language, not the other way around; you want to be able to produce the word, not just recognize it. You should also learn how to pronounce your target language. To hear native speakers pronounce words in your target language, check out Forvo.
If you’d like to translate this list into another language, please feel free! :) Just include a link back to this post, and let me know when you’re done so that I can link to your list here.

Now that you’ve learned the 300 basic words, how do you learn more? I suggest practicing writing.
—
Example
Here’s a demonstration of how you can use the 300 basic words to talk about most things. I took a paragraph from a website, and then I rephrased it using only the 300 basic words + a few others.
Here’s the paragraph:
I have had a good run, producing more films than virtually anyone else. And I believe better films (okay, maybe I am biased, but..), and ones with more consistent returns, but damn! It is harder now to justify investment or commitment than ever before — even when the tools have improved and the talent pool grown like never before. Film, like all the culture economies, has been turned on it’s head, but unlike the others, since the work at the top still delivers a return, our leaders and corporations act like business is as it’s always been.
Here’s the rephrased version. It doesn’t sound as nice as the original, but it’s still completely understandable. I bolded the words that aren’t in the basic word list the first time that they appear. When writing or talking, you can ask for or look up those words and then keep using them.
I have done well and made more films than almost all other people. And I think that my films were better (okay, it is me saying that…) and they almost always made money. But! It is more hard now than at any time before to say why you’re making films – though the things we use are better and better people want to work for us. Films, like other things that make money from culture, are not like they were before. But what’s different for films is: because the films that make the most still make a lot of money, the companies that make films work like nothing is different.
If you’re wondering how you can express something using just (or mainly) the basic words, please don’t hesitate to ask me. I’ve had a lot of practice. :)

hey, et voilà a little collection of pixel backgrounds i’ve made for my last theme: caramelo. if you are using it, you can change the background with one of these, so the blog will be even more customizable! you can use them even for other themes or fir graphics, it doesn’t matter. addictional instructions on how to change their colours are in the little file read me you can find in the folder.
Some pages created after messing around with overlay + background. All redirect page with some nice effect and animation. Let me know if I… forgot something or in case glitches occur here.
Because everyone loves free things, here’s another quick resources post. There are another handful of sites out there but these are the ones I check out most often.
My favourite is the weekly offers from Creative Market. Sometimes you come across goodies you wouldn’t have otherwise downloaded. But act quick because they change/rotate every 7 days! A few people asked about subtle seamless backgrounds, and Pixeden has some of my favourites. Freebiesbug is actually more of a collective site (to make browsing easier) but has the occasional exclusives. And I’m sure every theme maker has already heard of Codrops but they deserve a huge mention.
pastel meets conceptual in this texture pack, weird colours and probably simple settings, 17 free textures (as if i’ve gone crazy tbh), i hope you enjoy them and find inspiration from these. please read the file you find in the texture folder, thank you.
