DHD Blog Hop + ANOTHER PRINTABLE

Are you getting sick of my printables, yet? If you’re not, good. If you are, suck it up; I’ve got one coming your way today.

Today I’m participating in a DHD blog hop. YUP. SO FUN! The idea is that you start at the DHD blog and make the rounds to each designer’s blogs and pick up freebies along the way. By the time you’re done, you’ve got an entire kit of awesomeness on your hands. Pretty rad, right?

I know there are a lot of non-digital folk out there, so I thought I’d do something that everyone can use. A printable box. I hope you like it. The final dimensions come out to 2.25 x 2.25 x 2.25 inches. Click the button above to download.


Hop forward by clicking on the left, hop backward by clicking on the right.

Here’s a little preview of the artwork you can expect to get if you participate in the blog hop. Man, that’s a load of artwork! Isn’t the color scheme so fun? I love purple & green.

This printable is free for personal use. If you would like to use this printable commercially, please email me. Thanks!

Easter Egg Basket Printable

I just can’t believe that Easter is this weekend! Does anyone else feel completely unprepared for the weekend festivities?

My lovely neighbor, Susan, kindly reminded me that it was Easter this weekend and that an Easter printable would be a good idea. I agree! I think y’all need something festive to adorn your Easter spread this weekend. So, with much excitement, I present to you a new freebie!!

Isn’t it so cute?!? It’s the perfect size for chocolate goodies, a hard boiled egg or (my favorite) a generous handful of Starburst Jelly Beans. The finished dimensions measure about 4.5″ x 2.25″ x 2″. All you have to do is print out on cardstock, cut, score, tape and fill! You’ll want some decorative ribbon to tie the tops together and maybe some Easter grass to use as filling. I didn’t have any grass, so I just cut thin strips of tissue paper. I really like how the tissue paper looks. Give it a try sometime!

I really hope you enjoy this printable and USE IT! I plan on using these for place settings for dinner this Sunday. Oh, and if you don’t celebrate Easter, it’s sort of holiday neutral, so feel free to use it for anything. Ever! Click on the button below to download for free. Hope you enjoy!!

Christmas Candy Box 2009 3

Merry Holidays everybody!! Here’s my 3rd annual Christmas candy box. I’ve been a little stumped with ideas for what to do this year. LAME. So 40 hours, a pep talk from Chris and a few temper tantrums later, here it is. My gift to you.

Christmas Candy Box 2009 1

The color scheme was inspired by 100 Layer Cake’s Red + Green colorboard. Have you been to that blog before? It’s a fabulous resource, wedding or no. I pretty much drool out the side of my mouth every time I visit that site. The pattern was inspired by Orla Keily and one of my favorite wallpapers.

Christmas Candy Box 2009 2

I really hope you enjoy this printable and USE IT! I plan on using these for the annual candy party with my mom and sisters. Oh, and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s fairly holiday neutral, so feel free to use it for your holiday celebrations, or anything. Ever! Click on the button below to download for free.

A Very ModCloth Thank You

thank-you-Natalie

It’s funny how sometimes I don’t do things unless I have the right motivation. I was thinking about writing a Thanksgiving post and offering a Thanksgiving printable, but it didn’t start working on it until I heard about the possibility of winning a $100 gift card to ModCloth. I’m not usually this self-serving. Promise.

Penelope's New Sweater

Natalie made this candy cane sweater. It’s so soft, so cute!

Despite my intense desire to win this contest, my thanks are heartfelt. My cousin James and his wife Natalie visit us often; our weekends are very incomplete without a visit from them. I’m really happy James found a lady as sweet and fun as Natalie. It’s been great to get to know her better every weekend.

So, Natalie, I think you’re really awesome and I hope ModCloth can see at least a glimpse of how cool you are.

IS•LY Thank you Printable

While we’re talking about thanks and ModCloth, I think they have a good thing going when encouraging all the internets to find people to be grateful for. I think it’d be great to keep this thing going. I’ve made a little fill-in-the-blank printable for you to fill out and send to the folks in your life that you love. Please enjoy the FREE printable and please use it this Thanksgiving. Click on the button below to download.
