Summer Project Life Journaling Elements – Free Printable

Wow, summer has already arrived and with that in mind, today’s freebie is all about summer fun and summer days at the beach, something that we Southern Californian’s usually take for granted. Aren’t these kids just cute? No, they are not related to me, it’s just a great picture I found on a free photo site.

As for the freebie, this freebie’s color scheme is tangerine orange, turquoise and sunny yellow. There are four journaling cards plus a few journaling elements and they can either be used for journaling in your project life projects or other type of memory keeping.

This free printable has 14 journaling elements and journaling cards on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file. The file size is about 1.37 MB. They were created at 300 dpi and I designed most of the clip art elements other than the sunglasses. I hope you like them and enjoy them! Thanks for all those taking the time to comment, I sure appreciate the gracious thank yous!

As usual these are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.) If you have been here before, you know the drill. If not, you might want to read the quick TOU before you access the printable.

Happy Father’s Day Greetings and New Freebie Category

We, are one day away from Father’s Day, so I thought I would create a scrapbooking layout that would celebrate the occasion and take the time to share a new blog freebie category!

Unfortunately, my own father passed away a month ago yesterday, and while I wanted to create a scrapbooking layout in his honor for the holiday , it was a little too emotional and raw attempting to complete it…maybe next year.

So, I scrapped that idea and decided to do something else. In any case , I picked up this awesome freebie picture of a young father protectively gazing over his sweet baby and thought that this layout would do heaps in honoring all great dads! So…Happy Father’s Day!

The funny thing is when I am not out and about sourcing vintage items. I find I am spending most of my leisure time digital scrapbooking , illustrating and creating elements, photo editing and hybrid scrapbooking as a hobby with a lot more frequency.

I have even given up any leisure television watching to spend time on all the things I am creating, which wasn’t that much in the first place, but even that has disappeared. And furthermore, with some of the new tools I have been buying (others I received as awesome birthday gifts), I will have more ideas and freebies to share in the future.

But back to my new freebie category, what I find is that as I am working on obtaining the right elements for a layout, I often find myself creating some of my own.

Why? Because I usually just want one particular element, and don’t want to purchase a whole kit online. For example, for the layout pictured above, I made three versions of the words “Dad” and obviously settled with one.

So, I thought that maybe these elements could get a new life , (instead of sitting around doing nothing on my hard drive or jump drive), and I have decided to share them as digital download freebies for your digital scrapbooking needs. Most of the elements I will provide will have vintage themed styled elements but there will be a lot of “modern” ones as well.

(Of course, I would like you to abide by my TOU. Please check it out, if you haven’t read it already. All of these elements or embellishments are created by me and I own the copyright but they will be free to use for your personal use, for posting scrapbooking layouts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other social media, and digital or hybrid scrapbooking uses.)

A note about the images:

*All images are made at 300 dpi so the digital files will usually be very large. For example, these images are at 1200 pixels by 1200 pixels and would print out at 4” by 4”.

*Most will be .png files (transparent backgrounds) so that you can layer them on to your backgrounds or photos.

*Most elements will not include a drop shadow, as I will leave that up to you to add one if you like. However, two of the following “Dad” files will include the drop shadow.

*I will be providing these elements with the assumption that you know how to use either Photoshop Elements, the open source photo editing program GIMP, Photoshop, or other photo editing software. While I would like to offer support for these digital files, this is currently just a hobby and not my full time business.

*Most of my elements will be made from Commercial use or public domain sources, however if any designer feels their copyright has been infringed upon the freebie will promptly be removed and the freebie will no longer be available. (I try to be scrupulous about what resources I use, but I may miss some.)
