Happy midweek!   Today, I’m providing  my latest vintage ephemera journaling papers printables. Today I really mixed up the design and since it is late summer, I didn’t want to miss a sea themed set of printables for you.  I had some of these images in my vintage digital clip art stash for years…and a week or so ago, the inspiration for these designs clicked!  I went with subtle images  and muted colors for these printables and thought they might work with other digital papers or scrapbook pages you might have.

I designed these images in Photoshop CC which is an awesome photo editing program and can handle these large image files quite easily and all the layering.    I also designed the sea objects repeat pattern as well. 

Note:   The jpegs for these files will be rather hefty averaging at the largest 5 MB .  Your printing results will vary depending on the type of printer you have and the type of printer paper that you use.  You can always take them to the nearest Office Depot or Staples (here in the US) to get higher quality printing if you are using these for a special journaling project.

I hope this freebie  inspires you in your crafting, art journaling, junk journaling  and/or scrapbooking time with today’s vintage freebie.  I have been watching a lot of junk journaling videos on Youtube to get an idea on what types of papers might interest you and other junk journalers.  This was inspired by a few sea or beach themed crafting videos I had watched on Youtube and the fact that I remembered that some of my favorite seafaring vintage movies are Captain Blood and Lady Hamilton.  I actually watched this movie again for the umpteenth time this weekend!

That little exposure to movies and vid tuts about the sea spurred the creation of these designs.  I   am always excited to develop new ideas for  tags  and now papers with a vintage ephemera theme for either scrapbooking, art journaling, junk journaling and other paper crafting uses.  

If you are not into junk or art journaling, you can also pop these into the pockets of A5 planners or Traveler’s Notebooks if you enjoy a vintage aesthetic, as I do.

Today’s freebie has a lot of source vintage ephemera images from  vintage Photoshop brushes (many that I have designed), vintage ledger script entries, vintage sea clip art,  papers that I have scanned and other sources of vintage ephemera digital items, some sourced from books published in the 1800s! I particularly liked the “sentimental” poem, “Happenings” I found in a book published in the late 1800s, I hope you enjoy reading it!

I also would like to mention that Creative Fabrica  (a great graphic resource site and my go to site for many graphics) has ended their July sale but they have a whole new promotion to prepare for Halloween crafting.  They are offering a host of freebies and giveaways, so if you are interested don’t forget to get in on the fun.

Facts about the Seaside Journaling Papers Freebie

As for the details about the freebie, there are 4 junk journaling pages in this blog post printables offer.    You can use these elements for journaling in your traveler’s notebook projects, smashbooks, junk journals or other types of memory keeping.  

This free printable has four journaling pages at 8.5″ by 11″, stay tuned for the add-ons I will be posting in the near future.   These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be clear and sharp.  They can be used in either the Silhouette Cameo or Cricut digital cutters to cut them out or you can use scissors and a slide cutter.

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

**Please note, although I used  public domain resources to create this design, the design is under my copyright.**

Materials Needed

*White cardstock, Southmore 25% Cotton paper  or white sticker paper, depending on your final use.

*Vintage inks, such as Tim Holtz  Distress Inkpads, to give the edges a worn, tinted or aged look, if that is your preference.  This process takes off the white edge of the journaling cards and journaling spots, if you are using them for junk journaling and gives the paper a subtle, aged and worn  look.  With these inks you control the amount of tinting and color you prefer on your edges.

*Scissors or slide cutter

*Photo editing software (i.e., Photoshop Elements) for jpeg files or Silhouette or other digital cutters.  You can also resize the printables easily  in a basic Powerpoint program, Windows or MAC.

How to Use this Seaside Journaling  Papers Printable

• Print and cut out the papers and use them as pages  for your junk journals, traveler’s notebooks and other planners. 
• Resize and create tags or pockets for your journals or planners. Watermark is removed on actual downloads.
