Here’s a vintage style free printable telegram template for some fun papercrafting DIY projects.
By the request of a lovely tortagialla newsletter subscriber, I’ve taken my telegram printable design from years ago and transformed it into a full set of stationery printables to share here on the blog!
It was actually easy to do since the design already existed. I simply formatted it into a printable set of stationery including both lined and blank telegram paper designs. There’s also a matching envelope so you can stick with the whole theme.
I’ve also created both black and white as well as the full color vintage aged versions. I thought perhaps some people might like to print the full color design, but others might try to age it themselves. Have you ever tried tea staining? It’s super fun! Or try coffee and get the kids to help out, too.
To get the telegram printables just choose the color and paper size of your choice below and download the printable PDF file. You can print whichever pages you would like to use.

I hope you enjoy and please let me know or tag me @tortagialla on social media if you like the design.
As I was editing and working in Illustrator, looking at my telegram design from many many years ago, I realize that it is super simple. If I created the design today, I would definitely use different font and add more details. Maybe I’ll have to create another updated version?

From my digital design vault, here are a set of cute photo frame downloads to use with your photos and scrapbooking. I definitely had instagram on my mind when I created these, because suddenly everyday photo taking was expanded and considered normal across the board. It’s not just scrapbookers, but everyday we all have the ability to document our lives, since snapping a photo with our phones is so easy.
Now, it’s time to actually put those photos to use and print them out or put them together in an album. With a variety of photo frames to choose from, you can use my photo frame love designs on top of your own 4×6 photos! They make a great decoration and accent. You get high quality PNG files, so they are also great for printing and use as journaling cards or decoration for planners and art journaling.

If you like vintage, then you’ll definitely enjoy using these vintage number ticket, paper and stamp designs. With these high quality PNG files, you can print them, use them in digital work and/or combine them together and create your own vintage paper designs.
For many different reasons, I have a bunch of design files stored on a hard drive, rather than posted online for download. They might be old products, unfinished work or extras from other projects. These set of vintage goodies are one of those designs that I have decided to share here on the blog for free – just download below!

When Thanksgiving rolls around each year, I’m always reminded to give thanks for all that I have. I know we should be grateful every single day of our lives, but life gets busy and it’s easy to overlook as we go through the hustle and bustle of daily life. That’s why I believe a gratitude practice is so important! However, I used to just list a few things as my gratitude journaling for the day or week. Over time this was really repetitive and didn’t seem to sink in very much.
For my list lovers out there, I realize it’s fun to make lists and easier to do so, but I have realized that the true value of practicing gratitude lies in the details – the “journaling” part of things.
I decided to design a gratitude stationery paper to help us all write a bit more detail when it comes to journaling our gratitude. The idea is to not only write “what” you are grateful for… but also the “whys.” I learned this from Marie Forleo’s video here and I think it’s a powerful way to really sink into the idea of gratitude.

When I decided to design a printable for Thanksgiving, I started with an autumn color themed printable, but I realized that it was a bit too classic and available already. Instead, this black and white printable is printer-friendly and great for gratitude journaling as well as letterwriting in general. It’s a win-win!
Let me know if you enjoy this printable design and what you think about gratitude journaling that is not just about listmaking. Sign-up for my weekly newsletter if you would like to be updated on my new posts, designs and shop releases.

I know there are lot of calendar printables available on the web, but I’ve always struggled to find something clean, simple and customizable for my needs. So I decided to make my own monthly calendar printable and offer it as a free printable for download. At first it looks like any other calendar printable, but don’t be fooled!

The PDF calendar I have created has editable form fields! So when you open it up, it has November 2016 as I’ve put in for now, but you can edit every single one of the text fields in each box. It will be easy to update for each month that you need and make your own calendar printable.
It’s like having a blank calendar template, only you can type in the month, weekdays and numbers – instead of handwriting it.
I like being able to have a clean calendar when planning schedules and making notes regarding my kids’ schedules. Not only did I want a simple layout for my monthly calendar view, I’m also a monday start kind of calendar girl. In addition, I don’t like it when the end of the month has day 30 or 31 overlapping with the week before, hence the six rows of boxes. I would rather have the extra row and more space… so even if the calendar year doesn’t need it, I can use the extra boxes for other notes and future events. The blank left column also allows for notes of the month. Finally, there’s no watermark in this printable, because let’s face it – when it comes to calendars it’s already chock full of information, the cleaner and neater it can be, the better. And if you don’t want extra white space, you can always decorate it up!
