Looking for some colored kraft texture love free digital scrapbooking papers? I’ve created a whole set to share with you today!
It seems that every time I design something, I learn something new. There never seems to be enough tips, tricks and shortcuts you can learn in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. As I go deeper into the adventure of being a digital scrapbooking designer, I figure that perhaps I should also start from the basics. Sometimes I feel like I started in from the middle, since I already knew how to use the design programs. However, I’m still a beginner when it comes to digital scrapbooking!
I want to start from the beginning now and learn and grow with my designs. I’m thinking the results from my experimentations can be freebies here on my blog. Does that sound like a good idea? Do you love digital paper printables? Here’s a freebie post to usher in this weekend, which happens to also be my big birthday weekend! I’m getting older, but my husband and I have a big road trip planned, so I’m excited about that part…not so much about getting older though 😛
So in my first back to the basics of digital scrapbooking and designing, here’s a set of colored kraft papers and you can definitely see the texture. Six different colors and grungy inked edges for your personal scrapbooking adventures and crafting projects!

Hi folks! I’m exploring a handdrawn digital stamp style and have you seen all the girls from a previous post? Although I’m not a big fan of scanning and cleaning designs, I’m certainly in more control when sketching and drawing by hand.
I still have not gotten the hang of using the Wacom tablet so I can draw directly into Photoshop or Illustator. Still lots to learn…but I wanted to share two of my handdrawn characters with you and let you try them out and see what you think!
Introducing…Miss Mary and Mr Jason! Please let me know what you think and what you look for in designs and drawings. I would appreciate your input and will continue to sketch and create new characters as you read this. I still haven’t worked out the best process yet, but it’s sure fun to create characters and see them come alive, with their own personalities. They are my little ones!

Can’t wait to see – ciao ciao!

Continuing with my hybrid card design adventures, today I designed a “thinking of you” classic styled card.
It’s super fun to create designs, but I realized how difficult it is sometimes to cut out the shapes as I’m not a very good fussy cutter myself. Now that I finally have a Big Shot, I think I will try to use die cutting more in my crafting. I suppose the idea is to use our digital tools in some way, but the card is still handcrafted as there are some things easier about just punching shapes or rounding corners with a chomper.

I hope you’ll have fun creating this card and please spread the word! I started up these hybrid card designs, all because of the computer card tricks class over on JessicaSprague.com, so check that site out as well for digital classes and products. Enjoy!

You might have noticed that Wednesdays happen to be freebie days here on tortagialla.com. In my mind I like to celebrate the middle of the week (hump day) by sharing something with all of you. This past week, in my attempts of planning and organizing, I whipped up some printable notepages for myself. They have motivational quotes at the bottom, to help encourage me to follow my dreams, believe in myself and move forward. I’m big on quotes, if you haven’t noticed already…I collect them like stamps 🙂

These notepages have been designed on A4 paper, the normal size here in Europe, so I can just print and cut in half. So for all the USA’ers you’ll have to Fit-to-Paper when printing or set it to a smaller percentage to make it fit on your paper size. Otherwise, you can make them even smaller to be notecards as well. Enjoy and feel free to spread the word. Ciao ciao!
