I’m Messy and I Know It Printable

by | Jan 4, 2013 | DIY printables

I’m a huge fan of the Heartmade blog by Mayi Carles and for 2013 she put out a call for help to promote her Life is Messy bootcamp. I immediately thought of my default girl illustration writing out the message “I’m Messy and I Know It” – so here’s the final product!

LTieu Messy And I Know It

I used my Wacom tablet (finally, getting more practice instead of scanning!) and really love the result. Drawing how I want to draw and just following my heart. Just like Marisa from Creative Thursday, Mayi helped me to learn that cute can be professional and successful. I used to be plagued by misconceptions, thinking I had to be serious and grown-up to be taken seriously. But it was all wrong, because it just wasn’t the authentic me.

Now that I follow my heart and create freely, I’m a much happier and more successful person. Funny how things work out. Thank you, Universe! I thought it would be nice to give back to the community, so please take advantage of this free art printable. Declare your messiness and know that it is a-okay! Be yourself and thrive! I hope you enjoy and don’t hesitate to Tweet or Facebook share – I would really appreciate it.

Let’s rock 2013 together!

Free Printable Mini Airmail Card + Envelope | A Christmas Airmail Stationery Printable

Free printable mini airmail card + envelope Want a cute little mini airmail design in fresh colors for your papercrafting project? Lately, I’ve been noticing the light blue and pinkish red combination of colors for the Christmas season. I’m more drawn to the palette that is light, airy, fresh and snowy…rather than the traditional classic red and green. Somehow seems more peaceful and quiet happy.

So, I decided to update my airmail stationery to these colors for a little tiny gift card design. You can see my printout on my december daily page below:

Really small and cute, nothing fancy. Matching card with little envelope.

Cute Banner Tags For Scrapbooking

by | 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…
