Check out these printable scrapbook embellishments free download with classic memory keeping words and their definitions. A quick and easy DIY printable!

So on a whim one day, I just created these circle definition embellishments. I cut them out and backed them with brown cardstock, so they were ready to go, instant embellishment for my next papercrafting project. However, I didn’t actually have a project in mind to use them for – no plan at all.
It’s interesting how sometimes, I just want to design something. It pops up like a pretty good idea, so I create it! So good thing I can share with you here on the blog as a free download. I hope they might be useful an instant scrapbook embellishment!

Finally, I did use them in a scrapbook page. Using kraft paper as a my backing, I framed up a bunch of photos and simple journaling. My circle definition embellishments were a perfect addition to the page. I think the words provided are pretty timeless for most everyone scrapbooking and memory keeping – life, memory, time, family, friend and journey.
I really enjoyed creating different layouts and just playing around with my supplies. Old fashioned scrapbooking fun, right?

I realized that since I love the plain kraft paper look, I might just buy a bound kraft journal to scrapbook in. Perhaps it would keep things neater? I know that on 2ps, Kristina scrapbooks in a spiral bound journal as well! Something to consider.
Going to try and get more scrapbooking fun time in today, so I hope you enjoy this free printable download of embellishments – happy crafting!

Need to label your Halloween treats in a cute way? Download this free treats only printable!
The other day, I doodled up a little Halloween girl and wrote “Treats Only, please!” because I do like the treat part, not so much the trick part of this holiday. I remember being scared wayyyy too much in childhood, because our neighborhood had a thing for haunted houses and “trials” before you actually get a candy. Well, no more of that…I embrace just having treats!
After finishing up my art journal page of this illustration, I thought it would be really cute attached to the Halloween treats handed out…so here we have a new freebie printable! Pretty cute labels, no?

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.

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!

I made a sample card, but accidentally printed too fast on regular paper instead of cardstock. I didn’t want to waste paper, so went ahead with constructing it, realizing it wasn’t too bad afterall. However, I think cardstock would be a sturdier type of paper to use for most cardmakers. Enjoy this freebie and let me know what you think!
