Hi folks! Happy Wednesday to you. It’s hump day…middle of the week, you know? I wanted to share a little illustration with you…it’s an illustration I created for the Cool Mom Picks contest, but didn’t get picked in the end. I figured someone could use it for valentines, it’s meant to be printed and colored in by your kids. Hope you enjoy it! I’m off now to prepare some Valentine designs…the days are counting down!

I know it’s considered pretty geeky to watch and subsequently become obsessed with anime series. Stories range from classic romance to funny, whimsical characters and even quirky or downright weird at times. I’ve certainly gone through my fair share of passionate obsessions. I have a 200GB drive filled with subbed anime from my college years! Although it’s impossible to follow all the series, the bright side is that there’ll always be something new to watch.
One of the more popular stories that made it’s way to the USA audience is titled Trigun and you might have heard of it already. I learned a great phrase from that series…“love and peace,” says Vash, the main character (I’m pretty sure this is not the first time I am mentioning him on the blog). It might sound childish and simple-minded, but hey, it makes me happy and I have no issues learning life lessons from cartoons. I totally love watching the newer generation of animated movies like Shrek and Wall-E that aren’t so classical fairy tale like.
The image you see above is a desktop wallpaper I designed for myself. I thought it would be nice to share it with you as well, perhaps you can print it out as a card or even wall art.

I got the idea of offering free art from illustrator Stephanie Fizer (an artist I totally admire) and she offers occasional free downloads and pick-us-all-up messages, too. I really like her free art for the IndieFixx Feed Your Soul Project – you can see the print here. Enjoy!

Looking for some free printable Valentines? Check out this funny illustration – my heart beats for you!
As the days draw nearer to Valentine’s day, I have been thinking a lot regarding love-themed designs. I started sketching out some ideas and first came up with a bunch of medical themed, geeky sentiments. Something like “gimme a shot of love” for medical folks. Yes, I’m easily amused! Working on some other themes as well but I thought today would be a good opportunity to offer a freebie card in the same vein (OMG, I did it again!)
I present you with “my heart beats for you” – literally! Download the free printable valentines below, just click the image for the full-size version.
Hope you like it! Enjoy!

Like many other artists and crafters, January is typically a time for organizing and planning. After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we can finally settle down and get focused for the upcoming year! I usually start my new year with making a few art journals to use and a yearly planner to help me keep focused on future tasks and goals. Writing out your thoughts, goals and tasks not only helps you to remember them later, but I think the act of writing helps to reinforce the idea in your mind as well. This year I decided to design some planner pages that I could print out at home and quickly bind together. I’m currently really loving the teal and gray color palette, however I like to leave lots of white space for doodling and coloring as well.
I think these planner pages are versatile enough for everyone and great for printing out to incorporate in your bujo and planners… if you don’t want to redraw boxes or want something reoccurring.
Feel free to download the graphics above (click to get large versions) to print for your own personal planner this year.
I created things to do list – always handy – as well as the weekly and daily planner pages. I took the easy route and just printed various combinations of the pages front and back on regular paper, then folded them all in half to make a simple booklet planner. You can also cut the pages in half and bind the pages in various combinations to suit your specific planning needs. I’m going to save more complicated binding techniques for an art journal I’m working on…I’ll show that tomorrow. Enjoy!

Oh dear! Only a few days left until Christmas Day and I still have a huge list of to dos. In the rush of wrapping gifts there’s always a need for cute holiday graphic images, so I decided to whip up an angel illustration today. I’m a big fan of personalizing each gift with a different illustration – if possible – as well as matching all the different elements together. I can use the illustration to make a greeting card, matching labels, tags and even decoration for the wrapping paper. It’s a quick and easy way to dress up a gift and really give it that handmade personal touch.
Let me share my angel illustration with you to use on your personal holiday projects. All you have to do is click the image for the large version and download to your computer. You can print it out in the size you want and cut it out for use – all straight lines so it’s easy and quick. I’ve also included the black and white version below for all your digital stampers out there – I’m one of them, too!
Hope you like this quick little freebie!
