Today, I am releasing a new design as part of a series of related printables that I have been working on: a set of Retro or vintage journaling cards printables and elements.

I designed these ATC journaling cards (they are the size of standard playing cards) in Adobe illustrator with retro images from Raw Pixel for your spring and Easter paper crafting. These ATC journaling cards have a chick, a lamb and a bunny. I have been working on a few spring junk journals and wanted some spring ephemera! The playing cards are my original design and I am working on more designs. I haven’t completed all 52, yet: but I am working on it.

I really had a lot of fun designing these elements even though getting the authentic feel and worn look for these vintage images is a challenge. I’m still working on perfecting these images to make them look even more realistic and time worn.

Popular Graphic Sites

I really appreciate all of you who have visited this blog and also checked out Creative Fabrica and Rawpixel and signed up for their design graphics and vintage freebies! Your generous support helps me with providing additional freebies.

Creative Fabrica is coming out with new tools all the time, and the latest is their Font Generator as they develop their studio design applications that use AI features. I have taken advantage of this and created several new fonts.

In addition, another one of my favorite design sites, Rawpixel, this site has a great assortment of public domain vintage images and other AI tools! Create a free account using my link, if you so choose.

Design Inspiration

I developed the inspiration for these printables because I have been looking on Etsy and Ebay for a specific style of vintage items and they are hard to come by in a variety of colors.

As for the details about the freebie, there are 7 ATC journaling cards in all. The elements are all designed and saved as a jpeg file on a US letter layout. The approximate measurements for these elements; the cards are 2.5″ x 3.5″. The postcards were originally sourced from a great site of vintage ATC cards and digital printables, The Art Scavenger. This site has a large amount of vintage themed printables for your junk journaling and paper crafting use.

Although these cards were made specifically for project life , as always, they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, junk journaling, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping.

Facts about the vintage freebie:

There is one free printable; one US letter jpeg file
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp. (The preview pictures on the blog and at Google are at 72 dpi, the actual download’s color is actually much smoother and softer.)
Printing tip: I would advise that you print on heavy white cardstock, plain or matte to use as die cuts or use white sticker paper to use as stickers.
Color theme: pastel, yellow, pink, light blue, spring green

Hello peeps, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! Today, I am releasing a new design that I have been working on: a set of Retro or vintage book cover printables.

Free Monthly May Calendars Printables

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.

Hello peeps! Today, I have released a set of monthly calendars for May, so that I could share my new digital papers that I recently released in some actual projects. Some are time sensitive and others can be used throughout the year.

You’ll have three choices to choose from, you can grab one or all according to your needs:

1) a US Letter full page May monthly calendar which is set up with a Sun-through-Sat week and/or

2) a 2 per page A5 May monthly calendar that is set up with a Sun-through-Sat week and fits notebooks that fit half letter US pag ( 5.5″ by 8.5″)

3) a pocket card (3″ x 4″) May monthly calendar that is set up with a Sun-through-Sat week and

This was specifically created for those of you who like to use standard US letter filler paper notebooks ; however, of course, it can be used as a reference for project life fans as well as regular personal and work planning.

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 for the week.

If not, now’s the time to develop that habit for this year especially if “being more productive” or “using my time wisely” was one one of your New Year’s resolutions! We are now approaching the half way mark.

Using your Monthly Calendar

I designed this organization/planner freebie in order to get a bird’s eye view of the month all on one page and decorated it with the paper I recently designed. I used a variety of fonts for this layout and decided and had been working on this template for some time! I purchased these fonts from one of my go-to design and graphic sites Creative Fabrica.

The weekly format is Sunday through Saturday and the numbers and some lines are light grey. You can reduce the printable in order to fit most planners, if you would like to use them as an insert. I used a sans serif font for the calendar layout.

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. It is available in three soft pastel colors.

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 Monthly Calendar freebie:

These free printables were designed on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg and pdf file.
File size: Under 1 MB.
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
