foldable tabs

Hey guys it’s been awhile since I have provided a new set of vintage foldable tabs, so I decided to get this printable out to you guys today!

I hope this freebie inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.

These designs are fun to create. I have been wanting to create some tags with a vintage ephemera look for either scrapbooking, journaling, smashbooks and other paper crafting uses. I am trying to provide a few of these vintage printables as I am able.

Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from vintage ledger paper, french script, vintage red roses and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items.

Just a reminder, Creative Fabrica is celebrating “28 Days of Love” and each day they are providing awesome giveaways! Today, they are giving away a Silhouette Digital Cutter. Click on the pic below to check out what the hoopla is all about.

Facts about the Vintage Ephemera Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 20 elements in this printable. You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks or other types of memory keeping. This printable is for diy crafts but, of course, can be used in your journals.

This free printable has 20 foldable tabs on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpg file. Unfortunately, although I tried to keep the file size smaller, this freebie’s file size is large at approximately 3.8 MB. These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp.

The materials I used were all french vintage ephemera scanned at a very high resolution and other high quality vintage digital resources.

Watercolor Annual Calendar 2022 – Free Printable

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information

Today I have released a watercolor annual calendar for 2022, so that you can get ready for all your planning for the year.

You’ll have three choices to choose from:

1) a watercolor annual calendar ( 8 1/2 x 11) which is set up with a Sun-through-Sat week and/or…

2) a watercolor annual calendar ( 81/2 x 11) that is set up with a Mon-through-Sun week and was specifically created for Erin Condren and Happy Planner users; however, of course, it can be used as a reference for project life fans as well as regular personal and work planning.

3) a half letter size watercolor annual calendar that should fit as an A5 planner inserst.

Ideally, you can use your calendar by referring to each week during your planning time and planning out your weekly to do’s. You might have developed the habit of taking at least 20 minutes every Sunday evening to view the week’s upcoming tasks and to do’s on your to-do list.

If not, now’s the time to develop that habit for the new year especially if “being more productive” or “using my time wisely” will be one of your New Year’s resolutions

Using your Annual Calendar

I designed this organization/planner freebie in order to get a bird’s eye view of the year all on one page and decorated it with a lovely floral watercolor arrangements. The font for the calendar is palitoon and , the week format is Sunday through Saturday and the weekends are light grey.

I have provided two annual calendar printables, one regular and one with the week’s number on the left hand side. You can reduce the printable in order to fit most planners, if you would like to use them as an insert.

You can use the calendar to refer to as you plan your week or for other purposes.

Planning Your Week

I also designed the following printable to use as a brain dump to provide you a “worksheet” to gather or place all your tasks for the upcoming week. It’s sort of a pre-planning sheet or a place to list all your “to do’s” and then commit them to a specific day.

It isn’t a necessary step, but I find it helpful to write up all my tasks, then allocate the day of the week I will post them in my planner. If I don’t get to all of the tasks, at least I can pick from the “top three” tasks for each day and feel I have been productive.

Here’s a sample of that weekly planner page. You can click on the image to access that printable as well.

Choosing Your Planner

Your planner choice will be a very personal one ( if you are not using one already) and there are many variables that will contribute to your decision. These annual calendars can be used in a notebook that takes 8 1/2 by 11 paper.

In addition, I have a board on Pinterest you might want to follow that has several ideas by other designers for Home Office Planning , stationery and Erin Condren Life Planner, Happy Planner, and other types of planner needs. You can view that board here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

Facts about the freebie:

These free printables were designed on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file.
File size: 2 MB and 2MB
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp.
Printing tip: I would adjust the printing quality on your printer in order that you do not get an excessive amount of ink saturation. Just a tip, if you plan to use regular office paper as this freebie is at 300 dpi and you may need to adjust as you print.
Color scheme: black, white, dark grey, pink,green

valentine gnome

Happy Monday planner peeps! Today I am providing you with a set of cute Valentine Gnome planner stickers. You will see a few new design changes as I try to provide you with a new set of planner stickers or set up half letter sets. Erin Condren is now providing an A5 size planner that Erin Condren planner fans might enjoy! They have the cutest little troll version.

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the Erin Condren Planner (vertical) or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other weekly planners such as the Plum Paper Planner or Filofax.

However, you can reduce the printable when you go to print in order to adjust the stickers’ size to fit your specific planner. (Some distortion may occur using this method). I am only providing a half letter at this time as I refresh my planner stickers templates.

Also, if you are new to this site, I wanted to let you know that I have a board on Pinterest that you might want to follow that has several pins (ideas) by other planner designers, stationery, home office decor, office supplies and planner freebies that are mostly planner related, you can view that and/or follow here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

There are more than 30+ planner stickers or elements total in today’s release. As always, these stickers and elements can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping and papercrafting. However, these were made specifically for you Erin Condren Planner and Filofax fans.

Note**Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.**

How to Use this “ Valentine’s Planner Stickers” Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers and I have included a few in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printout is to print it out on a full sheet of white sticker paper and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. I also have redesigned the template so that the margins are within the “registration” area of your silhouette. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile a lot easier.)

2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock depending on how thick you want your sticker and then place adhesive via a snail tape runner or with a Xyron sticker tool or machine.

3) The most tedious (or time consuming) way is to print out the planner stickers on sticker paper and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting. Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which will reduce cutting around the stickers. Reader’s Tip: Cut your planner stickers while watching TV.

Facts about the Valentine’s Gnome freebie:

One 5.5″ x 8.5″ jpeg file – half letter
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so very often you can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
Color scheme: deep red, black
