Free Five Friday

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!! 🌷🌹🌻🌸🌺🌼✂🎀💌💐

I'm not really a fan of owls, but in my search I found a few that I liked. Especially the two illustrations with the peacock. And I love the two banner illustrations! What unique tags they would make! Tune in next week for some fun requests and see what else I find. 👀😎🐧🕑📨📪🔎

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!! 💚😁📎✂✏📏  

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! ⏰⏳✂💻📖📎🔍👀

All joking aside, here are five beautiful advertisements and book pages to use in your digital and printed goods, and junk journal adventures. 

There is nothing quite as refreshing and visually stimulating as a bowl of fresh fruit. I have found five still lifes that have a fruit theme, and will add a classic flavor to your paper projects. Originally paintings, I have cleaned and brightened them up a bit. Have fun!!

Today's goodies are a mixed bag: a receipt with a photo of a rose overlayed onto it, a botanical book plate, and three handwriting samples. Hope you enjoy these!

This times are certainly crazy right now, with this worldwide virus slowing everything down to a snail's pace. I will be glad when things begin to return to normal, but without the rat race, hopefully. In the meantime, I am curating images to share with creators out there like myself whose funds are allocated to needful things like food, water and electricity. Happy crafting!

  For the past week or so, I have been curated images from The American Garden Monthly Illustrated Journal of Horticulture, which was published from approximately 1881 to 1891. These illustrations are so beautiful! So here is a gooseberry and blackberry to use in your digital and printed paper projects! Enjoy!
