Free Five Friday

Another requested post coming at you this Friday. Vintage ladies! I love these old photos, and have quite a collection of my own growing. I will be adding more vintage photos in the coming weeks, so keep a lookout for new freebies. Also, don't forget that Monday's I add three free digital stamps, so come on over and check out The Repository for some great freebies, as well as some of my designs available for purchase. Happy crafting! ⌛✂✏🎀📎📏📖

So, I did a poll in the group to see what people were looking for, and I have a few subjects to search for. Today's offerings are a couple of vintage bird images and illustrations. My next search will include vintage photography, so look for that next week. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for requested items, and have more to add in the coming weeks. The poll is still open, so drop by The Repository and put in your comments if you are looking for something particular. Happy crafting!! 💚😁📎✂✏📏  

In my ramblings this week, I found these gorgeous patterned papers that I just had to share. I know, technically, the first two are book covers, but it's the pattern that is so unique. These would make great tags, backgrounds for mixed media, pockets - you name it! Have fun with these patterns, and create something beautiful! Don't forget to hop over to The Repository for more free goodies, or join to get a notification when new things are added. I add new files almost every week day! ⏳✂✉✏🎁💡📂📃📖📎📏📜  

This week I have found some double-page adverts from a late 1800's catalog. I have made them to print out a full 8.5 inches wide and 5.5 inches tall. So, they would be great as signature centers, or smaller pages within a signature. Or they can be cut in two to make tags, pockets, or a host of other ephemera. Be sure to hop over to  The Repository  for more freebies. In addition to the free five on Friday, I am now sharing 3 png (transparent stamp) files each Monday. They live on a page of the blog called  The Stamp Stockroom . Plus, I am sharing some of my free textures, backgrounds, and ephemera I have designed on the other days. Happy crafting! 💚💛💡📁📕📖📜🎨✀📏

Hello fellow crafters! This week I thought I would change things up a little. In my search to find five files to share, I happened across this woman in orange playing a trombone. And, with the the name of the song, all I could think of was the Wizard of Oz. So, I have curated all the sheet music, plus made a duplicate cover in a sepia wash. I will be starting a new free-file give away in my group The Repository  beginning next week, and I will be calling it The Stamp Stockroom. This will be a random collection of illustrations that I share as digital stamps with a transparent background, so keep a lookout for the album. New files will be added Monday through Wednesday each week. Stop by and have a look! 🌻🌹🍓🍒🐓📖✂

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. 😁📜🎁📖📚✂

This week wraps up all the original images chosen to share as free files. Next week is my birthday, so I have a treat for you. I have found a few garden catalog covers that I think you will all love! In the meantime, here are more botanical plates and and a squash. Enjoy!

Today's post is part one of two on sharing the remainder of files that I selected for freebies over a month ago. So, a mixture of fruit and a frame is on the menu for today. Enjoy these simple illustrations, and make some great ephemera for your journals!
