Hubpages: My Other Vintage Related Articles

Wow, hope you all had a Happy Mother’s Day!

I really appreciate the increased number of hits to my blog and download of my Mother’s Day – Project Life designs.

It has been a very pleasant surprise.  Hope to come up with something just as good for Father’s Day and other celebrations.

I thought I would just mention that I have a few vintage related articles  (mostly to do with vintage Christmas décor) on Hubpages that you might like to visit. They are written under the pen name “Wordsmith4hire”, but the owner of this blog and writer of the articles on Hubpages are one and the same.

 

I also appreciate the increased follows on my Pinterest boards.  All in all, it has been a wonderful surprise and boost to my self confidence that maybe, I am creating interesting downloadable designs and providing pertinent information and articles. Thanks again!

Shabby Chic Journaling Elements – 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.

Here’s another freebie!  This freebie”Shabby Chic Journaling Elements” blends a lot of shabby chic design elements such as roses,  soft colors of teal blue and pink  and  other floral patterns in  a great printout to honor all of our great Moms!

As usual these are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)   In the future, you will notice that my freebie design images will follow these themes:  vintage, retro/minimalist  and whimsical.

How to Use this “Journaling Cards” Printable:

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

  1. The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the journaling cards and journaling elements using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. There are several pdf to jpg converters online if your software just can’t open a pdf. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile and cutting it out a lot easier.)
  2. The most labor intensive (or time consuming) way is to print out the journaling cards or journaling elements on 65 lb. white cardstock and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors or a slide paper trimmer  to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting.

Terms of Use

Some things you should know before downloading: (updated 10.28.13)

* Vintage Glam Studio printables (formerly under the name Vintage Glam Collectibles) are for PERSONAL USE ONLY. (I own the domains for both names and will be dedicating this blog to more design related articles and printables.)
*You may not re-sell, redistribute, or claim the original or derivative designs as your own.
*Please do not remove the watermark or modify the design in any way other than for your own Personal use.
*If you post this on the internet, please give credit to Vintage Glam Studio & link back to my blog, so others can obtain the resources.  Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook are great social media sharing platforms, it’s the sharing without a link back that can be a problem.

You can access the pdf file>>>> Shabby Chic Journaling Elements

Or if you like click on the picture below for the download. The pdf sheet is 8 1/2″ by 11″.  There are 12 elements in all.  Hope you like them! 🙂

Update:

Do you have a lousy printer that can’t print high resolution printables?  In the following video tutorial, which was posted on Youtube’s channel owner MichLxo, the crafter gives great information as to how your nearest Staples can be a great resource as a quality and low cost printer for free color printables.  Her video showcases (your’s truly’s) printable as well as other free printables by other websites and designers.

Image Credit:

Most of my elements are 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.  Designers vary in their restrictions for their terms of use (even for CU items), so although I try to be scrupulous, I may miss some.

The background digital paper used for this freebie are the Kath Floral background papers and can be obtained from Mel’s Brushes.

Spring Cleaning: 3 Ideas for Craft Storage and Organization

spring-garment-tag2

Well, this has been a busy week with the Easter holiday having passed just short of a week ago and all the hustle and bustle of spending time with family and friends. 

With the rapidly improving sunny weather, here in Southern California, I have also spent a lot of my spare time this week doing a few “spring cleaning” activities.

I  began organizing my craft tools and supplies (the physical and tangible ones) and shopping for either new tools or filling in what was missing or on my wish list. 

While I don’t have a huge amount of craft supplies or a dedicated room for crafting, it just seems that once you start acquiring more than a few tools that you’ll need to find ways to organize them.

I have a board on Pinterest dedicated to just this purpose and I enjoy finding pins that showcase craft rooms or craft organizing ideas that incorporate a vintage touch. 

However, creative vintage inspired craft storage and organization pins, just like many vintage items themselves, are a little more difficult to find.

The following are a few of my favorite pins.  Hopefully, they inspire you to organize your craft tools and supplies and get encouraged to do some spring cleaning. (Clicking on the links will take you directly to my Pinterest account’s pin. Click on it to go to the original blog post.)

Hopefully , in the near future,  I’ll be able to create a  blog post that showcases some of the great craft finds  I found this week (for awesome prices as well)  following a tip I have always used  when I shop for other household goods and that is to shop off season for huge discounts.
