Free Five Friday

For me growing up, summertime was usually when we got to experience things like the circus, fair or carnival. Or see the latest movie at the theater. Here are a few images of what someone might have gone to in the summers of yesteryear. 👀🤡🎪🎬🎷🎼🎻🎹🎭🎨🎥

July comes in with a bang. Independence Day. The day we of the USA celebrate our freedom as a nation. This is a day that should never be forgotten or be taken lightly. Also in July: school's out, it's hot, and it's time for vacations. Trips to the beach, baking in the sun. Going to the mountains, camping, staying out late and catching fireflies. 

Here is a selection of 'just married' couples in all their vintage glory. Perfect for a wedding journal, or various types of ephemera. Have fun with these old photos, and happy crafting! 💞💗👗💋💍💐

Flowers. That is the theme for May. I have found quite a few unique vintage illustrations that I will be sharing over the next four weeks. Hope you enjoy this set for the first week. Happy crafting, and happy Mother's Day!! 🌷🌹🌻🌸🌺🌼✂🎀💌💐

Another rainy Friday, at least in these five free files. On a different note, Google has informed me that the 'subscribe by email' feature for their blog service is going away in July. So, those that subscribe now will have to bookmark it and check in every week. But, in the meantime, happy crafting! ☂☔🌂☔⛆⛈🌦🌧

No, not a song from the 80's! 😉 Rather, a few rain-inspired vintage illustrations of people out and about in the pouring rain. Springtime is the time for rain, and we are getting our share right now! Hope these can work in your projects. Happy crafting! ☁☂☔⛈🌂✂✏💌

April showers bring may flowers. That was what my mother and grandmother always said when I was growing up. Hence, the theme for April is rain . I began this blog a year ago on the 12th as a way to share files with people in lockdown that could not find resources elsewhere since so many businesses were closed during that time. To celebrate a year, I am putting all my digitals on sale 50% off for the month of April. Please see this  link  to my store and use the *coupon, or see the post in Penny's new group: Junk Journal with Penny's Boutique . I hope you all enjoy this month's theme!

Spring time is upon us. Finally!! 💚 I am looking forward to a new season! Here are five representations of spring to use in your projects; a lady in a spring hat, apple blossoms, new love, springtime love, and a springtime wreath of flowers. Happy crafting!! 💛💙💜✂✏💮📖📝📎📏

I'm doubling up on today's post to try and get all the requests out asap. Bees and valentines make for a good mix, and hopefully just in time to be used in a valentine project. Happy crafting! ❤💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟𐇧🐝
