Free Five Friday

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! ☁☂☔⛈🌂✂✏💌

Today wraps up this month's theme of 'time.' Here are some beautiful clock designs from yesteryear to use in your vintage inspired journals and ephemera. Be on the lookout next week for the beginning of a new theme, with some awesome illustrations for the month of April. Happy crafting! 💚💗⌚⌛⏰⏳✂✉ 

Today I am sharing some vintage floral illustrations and the back covers of a couple of seed catalogs. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, flowers are always a bright spot in any craft project. These are especially pretty with their Victorian styling and typography. Hope you all enjoy these! Happy crafting! Remember to stop by The Repository for more free goodies. 👀❤💙💚💛💜✂✉✏🎁  

I find that I really enjoy looking for patterned papers. All the different designs and colors are unique, one-of-a-kind ephemera. These would make great writing pages for journals, base images to build mixed media on, cutouts, pockets, tucks, and tags of all shapes. The ideas are endless! I share these files and more in The Repository  so take a look for other files I share there Monday thru Friday. Happy crafting!! ⏳✂✏📕📖📜  

Hello everyone. Another free 5 coming at you this Friday morning. Three versions of a rose-covered doorway, a vintage color advert for pianos and organs, and a field full of cabbage with a horse-drawn carriage to boot. These could be tags, journaling cards, journal pages, or anything else journal-related. Have fun!!

The catalog cover this week features a group of women and a nasturtium. This would make a great tag or journaling card, and comes in the three variations that I think most creatives can use. I have also included a great page of advertising in two versions of sepia. I have also created an fb group to share these files en masse . I have also created an account on cluster(.)com, added a group on Mewe(.)com, and have made a shareable album in my Google photos. It is an experiment to see what works best. Please message me for an invite, or more info. In the meantime, enjoy the latest free downloads. 😁📜🎁📖📚✂

Here is a beautiful pastoral scene with a lovely house in the background. Will make for a unique book page or tag in a journal, or plenty of other paper craft uses! I am still working on a group to share digital goods, but it will not be on fb. This is for both personal and professional reasons. By the next blog post, I plan to have it up and going. Stay tuned! ⏰⏳✂💻📖📎🔍👀

Another week has passed. The heat keeps rising, and my project list keeps getting longer! I am toying with creating an fb group to share digital files, both free and available for purchase, for buyers and sellers. I have just under 100,000 files in my repository that I have been collecting for over four years now, and I add more almost weekly. I love searching for vintage treasures, both physical and digital! 🕓✒🎁💻📜📕 

In the spirit of giving is receiving, I am sharing 8 garden catalog covers from 100+ years ago to celebrate my birthday this year. I have edited them into three color schemes: bright, faded, and sepia. Have a great weekend everyone, and happy crafting!
