Free Five Friday

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. 😁📜🎁📖📚✂

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! ⏰⏳✂💻📖📎🔍👀

This week has been different than any I have experienced in a long time. My husband was on vacation and, instead of going someplace where we would be restricted, we decided to do a 'stay-cation' and spend our money in local antique stores and thrift stores. We believe in helping the 'mom&pop' businesses. And we collected some amazing finds while we were at it! 😁📕📷🔑🔍🏡🚙

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! 🕓✒🎁💻📜📕
