Looking for some vintage texture paper printables? Here are 8 different high resolution scans of vintage book papers to download and print!
Lately I’ve been feeling the vintage vibe and working on scanning a bunch of vintage papers to use in my designs. I thought it would be nice to share these raw scans of old vintage texture papers so you can download and print them!
Imagine using these in your junk journals, art journaling, planner decor and other papercrafting projects. Although I love color and modern graphic design, there will always be a place in my heart for the vintage look. There’s something about the textures and aged look that brings me comfort…
Consider printing out these vintage paper printables in a small size and using them as little notecards. Or you can print them full page as backgrounds for new art pieces. Sometimes I actually stitch different vintage papers together with a sewing machine to create a very tactile paper quilted piece. Have fun papercrafting with these!

Download and print this composition notebook printable for your planner or use as a cute decoration for scrapbooking and journaling.
If you are a mom like me, no doubt the start of the school year has been a challenge. I can only imagine how the kids feel! It seems every day there is some new measure or process, some new material needed and more to add to my to do list.
So I decided to use a cute illustration of a composition notebook as a list maker for planning purposes. If we have to get things done, using pretty supplies and cute artwork really helps!
You can download and print this illustration as a checklist for your planner, using it as a divider or a running bookmark. I actually cut out the illustration separately as well to create a cute little decoration and divider for my mini a6 disc planner.
It’s up to you how you would like to use this printable – the beauty of digital downloads is that you can make multiple copies and get a bit DIY with your craft supplies and create something cute and useful.

Looking for positive affirmation printables to put on your wall, planner or journal? Check out these free inspiring and uplifting downloads.
Why Positive Affirmations?
Affirmations are positive statements such as “I am capable” and you have probably heard the term tossed around before. Affirmations can be very helpful in changing your life when you repeat them out loud and consistently. These statements can actually help you overcome negative thoughts, deal with stress and motivate you to change your life.
And yes, there is science behind it and that is why you will hear people praising the power of positive affirmations. If you are new to the idea, it can feel awkward talking to yourself out loud and it’s completely normal to be skeptical. But as with all things in life, you have to try it out with consistency before you can make a judgement for yourself.
If you are interested in learning more about positive affirmations check out this article on Positive Psychology that goes into more detail.
Designing for Positivity
If you’ve been here before, you know that I have designed a whole coloring book around the idea of positive thoughts and affirmations. But even when you are convinced or know better, it’s often the “take action” part that is difficult for most people to follow through with – myself included.
For example, we all know that we have eat healthy and exercise to stay well. However, the issue is creating a life and routine that helps you take those “good for you” actions. They say that knowing is half the battle, but it IS just half the battle unfortunately!
Printable Affirmations Around You
When it comes to positive affirmations, I have found that displaying positive statements into my planner, onto my desk and around my house really helps to put them into action. Along with my everyday life, when I see them I can say them out loud. This also means I can change up what I display over time. It’s easy to take a few minutes to say them out loud, when you see it right in front of your face regularly.
Don’t hesitate to put up an affirmation on your bathroom or beauty mirror. How about adding one as a wallpaper on your phone? What about making one into a planner dashboard or cover? It’s an easy way to piggy-back off an existing routine and add positive affirmations into your existing space.
I decided to start a design series of positive affirmation printables that I could add to my everyday life routine. Normally, I love bright colors and cute fonts, but in this case I wanted to create something much more bold and powerful.
I think of the design style as classic and straightforward that would work for most everyone. A bold black background with a white classic serif font says “strength” to me and I think that works for establishing a foundational affirmation day to day. Of course, the typeface still has a bit of flair! I hope you enjoy the beauty of simplicity in these designed positive affirmation statements.
Download Positive Affirmation Printables
Below are the affirmations that I have created so far and you can bookmark this page for future reference as I will add more over time. It’s definitely a mix of positive affirmations that are “I am” focused as well as other positive printables and uplifting phrases for strength, love and empathy.
You are free to download the PDFs for your personal use – the printable PDF design does not include my social media handle, just plain black with white text.

Start the new decade with this chic 2020 free printable cover for binder planners. Just download the PDF and print right at home!
What’s a cover or dashboard?
When you first open up your planner, bullet journal or home binder, it’s nice to see an encouraging quote or beautiful design. A pretty design can really get your excited and pumped up for planning and productivity. For the upcoming year, I wanted to design a series of printables in black and white, so that anyone can easily print at home. This design is definitely sleek and chic and can be used as-is or dressed up for those who want more personalization.
The beauty of planner dashboards is that they can be anything you need them to be. From a purely decorative page to something that holds more meaning or important information. I like to write down my main goals on the back side of this dashboard design, so I always have my ultimate goals and milestones to review on a regular basis.
This design also makes a great divider for a section of your planner all about high-level goals or specific project oriented tasks. From inspirational to functional, printable covers are super versatile for anyone who loves to keep organized and plan their way to success. This 2020 printable cover for binder planners can be used in a variety of ways… what makes sense for you and your planner?
Embellishment Tips
I love the streamlined minimalist look of this design, but you can definitely use this printable as a starting point for your own customizations. I strongly believe that our productivity tools can be useful and pretty at the same time!
- Add washi tape, patterned paper, stickers or tags to spice up the look of this full page printable
- Trim out the text of this printable and attached them onto another colored cardstock
- Use glitter, sewing, paint or other art media to add color to this design
Truly the only limit is your own creativity, so consider what fits with the aesthetic of your binder or planner and create something unique for yourself.
