Free Photo Download for Earth Month!

Maybe it's the Eco conscious, earth loving side of me that really stops and thinks about ways to be kinder more gentler to the planet especially as Earth Day is fast approaching! Besides recycling everything, using reusable water bottles, using real cutlery at work for lunch, shopping second hand for furniture, taking the train to work, and buying organic/local when possible what else would you recommend I add to the daily earth friendly rotation?

As a reminder to stay green and to do your share for this beautiful planet that gives us such enjoyment I'm including this free moss heart print as a free download today. Click here to find it in my flickr album. Continue to live green lovelies!

Free Photo Download

To celebrate the weekend and to show my love for my blogging ladies and gents, I thought I'd give you a freebie photo print of mine to download.  It's a closeup of my newly redesigned header (thanks for all your sweet comments).  Click here to find it in my Flickr album.  I'm signing off for the week, have an inspirational weekend! xo, Liz

Free Download: Vintage Bias Tape Labels

  I thought I'd start the week off by sharing a fun free download I worked on over the weekend.  I have a small but plentiful collection of vintage bias tape that I've been sourcing from flea and antique markets for the past few years.  And having been inspired by Katrina lately (and all her lovely design downloads), I decided to share with you a few of my favorites from the collection, in 3 color ways, and turned them into labels for your personal use.  I like to use these as captions in my posts and I'll probably be using them as labels for my sidebar tabs sometime in the near future, I hope :)  Until then, enjoy these here!

Happy Friday to you! I had a crazy fun filled prop styling week at work. I'll be glad to share the photos with you next week, but for today I'm excited to share another free design download!  As a photographer, I can never get enough photo frames to download. Sometimes they just add that perfect touch to digital photographs, you know what I'm saying? Well here they are in all 3 of my favorite formats. 4x5, medium, and polaroid!  Be sure to check out my other free digital downloads here too. These are for personal use only, thank you. Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!

Happy Monday to you all!  I hope your weekend was filled with lots of enjoyment and laughter.  I have exciting news to share with you!  I'm re-introducing my free design downloads link for anyone to download and use for there crafty/blog/design needs.  They were created in photoshop in a 8x10 page layout and are ready to print out at home or to be cut and pasted into your blog/website.  The two downloads that are available for download are fun labels and tags. I used the tags with ribbon as a design detail in my last post just to give you an idea. Let me know if you have any questions about how to use them, I'm happy to help.  You can find the link button on the right side of my blog under the Free Design Downloads button.  Please be sure to include a link to your blog or website if you do decide to use them in a digital format.  If not, I'd love to see how you use them in real life!

Greetings

Snap, print, cut, fold, sign..sigh. That's pretty much how my night went last night all while watching Top Chef All Stars. Creating our holiday card was super easy and fun thanks to this free hand drawn card by mufn. I printed them on Epson matte photo paper and they folded awesomely! For quick color prints I order through snapfish. What I like about them is that I can pick them up the same day at any participating stores (i.e Walgreens or Walmart) or have them delivered. If only everything on my holiday to-do list could run this smoothly :)

Hello October

I'm just catching up on things from this weekend. It was so great to ease into the season this past weekend by spending Friday all by myself. I spent the day running errands, taking a cardio bootcamp class, and sprucing the outside with pumpkins, gourds, and purple mums! I even had time to carve my very first pumpkin while the seeds toasted up all yummy in the oven :)
For those of you who are just as head over heels for this glorious season as I am , I'd love to hear how your spending it!

For those of you who are looking for a seasonal lift, stop by That's Happy blog, and download a cute owl desktop wallpaper calender by illustrator Lisa Rupp. I have it on my work desktop, and love the hint of autumn it brings to my 9-5. Thanks Lisa for sharing!

Fall into Rue

The Premier issue of all things stylish from decor, fashion, trends, and design is out on digital stands everywhere! Rue is my new favorite magazine because it offers more than just eye candy (which is a must), but the layouts are clean, the ads are not eyesores, and the writing is smart to boot! I've highlighted a few of my favorite articles featured in the issue, but you'll have to stop by and check it out for yourself. Grab a warm drink of your choice (Yogi green tea for me) and cozy up to your screen, because you'll be glued to it for a while, just like I was during my lunch break :) P.S. as a bonus Rue is offering there readers quite a few freebies including a full stationary download, invites and other goodies!

Fresh Label Freebies

My apologies for the lack of posts this week. Life/work has been kicking into high gear but I just wanted to stop by and share with you these fabulous little labels brought to you by little sightings blog. I love her color choices for these, so fresh and perfect to organize your workspace with.
Simply print on sticker paper, trim away the excess white and apply to your hearts delight!

Loving: Alphabet Letter Freebie

The lovely duo behind Two Brunettes have fun Alphabet banner letters for you to download over at the Ruffled blog. Simply download each letter, print, punch holes on each corner and hang with twine or ribbon. Oh, and it even includes a heart to us as a space! I plan on making one for my nieces 9th Birthday coming up in June, she'll love it almost as much as I'll enjoy putting it together for her. Enjoy!

Note Keeping

I don't know about you but I'm always writing notes/ lists for myself to remember what to pick up from the market or just for jotting down notes in a jiffy. I always keep a notepad in my purse for such occasions and printing out some of these free notepad sheets would just make me smile a little brighter. Thanks Yasmine for the lovely downloads :) Just click on each image and get to printing!

Color Crush

Today I am feeling totally inspired by some color and pattern! My current color crush has to be yellow and teal together! Which is why I had to share these pretty lovely wallpapers created by the oh so creative talented Free People. I am part of there Flickr group and I love everything they create and share there. What colors have you been crushing on lately?

{ Notebook & Lunch Labels }

Walking down the back to school aisle last night at Target got me to thinking about how much fun it was as a kid this time of year. Not the going back to school part (of course), but the school supply shopping trips will always hold sweet memories for me. Perhaps this is why a sharpened #2 pencil continues to be my writing utensil of choice and why I love to keep Crayola markers on hand, just in case a creative moment strikes (of course). I found these cute, fun and free downloads while roamimg the electronic aisles of the lovely Martha Stewart. The notebook labels are adorable, I had a fun afternoon printing and cutting them up with my niece and nephew not to long ago. And the lunch labels are sure to make any kiddos lunch extra special! Makes me want to go back to school...sorta. Enjoy.
