Happy hump day to all!
I’ve been busy designing on the computer, working on official stuff, scrapbooking kits and some personal projects as well.
After playing around here and there, I actually created these label strips for myself to use in a project. In the end, they didn’t fit with the particular booklet project, so they were sadly thrown to the side, to be forgotten…
I thought it would be better to share them as a free printable with all of you… so I hope you can use these label strips somehow. There are blank versions and the days of the week version as well. Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I’ve offered up a stationery set for download, so I thought it would be nice to have something in the Halloween or ghoulish theme for the upcoming holiday. I used my little sleepy ghost pattern to create this printable stationery set…sort of funky looking and not your normal cutesy design. The cool thing about printable stationery is that you can print as many pages as you need and really use it for lots of different things. A casual note stuck into a lunchbox, a long letter to a dear friend or just using the design for decoration around the house. This little guy is either sleepy or grumpy…maybe both!

Hope you enjoy this free printable and let me know if there’s anything in particular you are ever looking for. I’m always up for the challenge and like to do little design exercises and doodle away as a form of practice. The results always ends up being a freebie on my blogs. I’m all about sharing…if someone can use it and be happy! Until tomorrow…ciao ciao!

Wow! I found a huge resource for drawing and illustration and wanted to share with all of you as inspiration today! Andrew Loomis has out of print books that are now PDFs for free download. Amazing, true and so darn useful. You should definitely check them out and see if they will help with your illustration, whether you want to be a professional or drawing just for fun – it’s always good to learn and grow as a person. The “Fun With A Pencil” one was written first and it’s a pretty darn funny read in itself.
Andrew Loomis was an illustrator in the 1930s-50s and his work has influenced many artists even today. Since his books are still being circulated, you can be sure they are of value. Thanks to Escape From Illustration Island for posting about it and he has linked and credited the lovely people who make it all available. Thank you to all and thank you to the internet. I love how resources can be easily spread to people all over the world and we can share with each other. Happy Monday and enjoy!

Looking for some colored kraft texture love free digital scrapbooking papers? I’ve created a whole set to share with you today!
It seems that every time I design something, I learn something new. There never seems to be enough tips, tricks and shortcuts you can learn in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. As I go deeper into the adventure of being a digital scrapbooking designer, I figure that perhaps I should also start from the basics. Sometimes I feel like I started in from the middle, since I already knew how to use the design programs. However, I’m still a beginner when it comes to digital scrapbooking!
I want to start from the beginning now and learn and grow with my designs. I’m thinking the results from my experimentations can be freebies here on my blog. Does that sound like a good idea? Do you love digital paper printables? Here’s a freebie post to usher in this weekend, which happens to also be my big birthday weekend! I’m getting older, but my husband and I have a big road trip planned, so I’m excited about that part…not so much about getting older though 😛
So in my first back to the basics of digital scrapbooking and designing, here’s a set of colored kraft papers and you can definitely see the texture. Six different colors and grungy inked edges for your personal scrapbooking adventures and crafting projects!
