Looking to make a faux library card pocket for your paper projects? Print your own using this free printable library card template – a free PDF download.

In writing my handmade zine (Issue 2 of Pensieri) named Pockets Galore, I’ve been exploring all kinds of pockets we can print-at-home and make for paper crafting projects.
I’ve made so many examples and prototypes and it’s a fun process to test out what works! One such pocket type is the old school library card pockets at the front of books. I don’t think libraries actually use them anymore, but they still look so cool!
You can probably find them in old library books or vintage paper lots, but it’s a lot easier to just make your own! Use my printable library card template to make as many as you need for your cards, journals and planner decoration.
Just print out the PDF template I’ve created, trim to size, fold along lines and glue to your project. You can obviously distress it or decorate as you would like as well.
By the way, I’ve also designed printable library journaling cards in the past, so you can print those out and stick those in the pocket as well.
I love to use this printable library card template for adding pockets into my journal pages and sometimes I print on kraft paper to change things up, not just plain white paper.

Looking for a quick and easy Halloween party invite template that you can print at home? Download this cute skulls design notecards and start promoting your get together!

I thought it would be nice to have a host and hostess as part of the design, hence the two skulls, partners in life! And the blank lined area underneath lets you write in whatever details or text that applies to you.
Originally I thought of this as a party invite, but it can certainly be a journaling card, decoration in your planner or just something to print for the kids to color up and write about Halloween this year. Can actually be for All Saints Day as well with the skulls! Maybe you can decorate and draw over them with sugar skull designs? The sky is the limit.

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?

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!
