Cute Banner Tags For Scrapbooking

by Linda | Nov 30, 2011 | DIY printables

For those that celebrate Thanksgiving, I’m sure the holiday weekend was a fun-filled frenzy. Above all, it’s definitely a season to spend with loved ones and to be reminded of all the things we are thankful for. I think that sentiment of Thanksgiving goes worldwide though…it’s never a bad thing to think about gratitude and give thanks. I decided to create a scrapbook page of 11 thanks for the year 2011 – a great way to use a whole bunch of number stickers as well. But as an American, even though I live in Italy now, I wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving in my own way.

I immediately had the idea of a countdown in my mind, but needed some tags to write in my thoughts. So went ahead and designed some up for myself to print out. I thought it would be nice to share those banner tags with everyone – you can use them in digital scrapbooking or print to use on paper pages as I did above.

Let me know if you find these useful! I find myself creating these simple elements for myself, because I just don’t have them on hand and it’s just the little thing I need for the project or page in mind. I suppose, I’m definitely thankful to be able to design these elements myself and print them out for use. Pretty cool…

Print Some Horizontal Journaling Cards

by Linda | Nov 22, 2011 | DIY printables

After posting my printable journaling cards, I realized that I needed horizontal variations! I happen to have a stack of clear pockets in that format, so I went back into Illustrator and created a new set of journaling cards. These cards are specifically designed to be horizontal in format. A mix of designs to help you record those daily thoughts and notes…

You can actually use these in your digital scrapbooking layouts, as with all my digital products. However, I also love to print out digital designs to use them in crafting projects as well as traditional scrapbooking. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Print Your Own Project Life Journaling Cards

by Linda | Nov 1, 2011 | DIY printables

Need some journaling cards for your digital and/or paper projects? Lately, I’ve really been obsessed with journaling cards of all kinds. So I’ve been drooling over various products out there and creating some of my own as well. I’m not sure if the idea came from Becky Higgins Project Life, but it sure gained a lot of momentum from her products, I think. Cathy Zielske and Paislee Press has posts about printing them and many other designs who have digital journaling cards as a product.

I like to have a whole bunch on hand, so that I can jot down my thoughts in the moment – or at least as close to the moment as possible. I don’t want to lose my immediate thoughts on a memory or event. It’s so much more vivid and true when I can write down my thoughts immediately, rather than reflecting on it. Having that journaling card also spurs me to go ahead and get it scrapped as well. Win-win situation I think.

So I dug up some of my own paper designs and created a few journal cards. Feel free to download for your personal use below.

They can certainly work for those that use the Project Life system, but a journal card can also go on any layout (digital or paper). One thing I’ve realized is that variety is the spice of life for me… I want to have lots available, so I can grab the one that fits the mood. Then everything seems to flow after that. Hope you enjoy!
