Me and The Daily Double!

What an exciting day to be featured on two of the most fabulous websites out there!

The Bright Side Project. If you’ve never been there, you won’t believe what you’re missing! A feel-great site with giveaways galore. They chose a few of my favorite things and found just the right people to contribute them to an exciting giveaway running now through May 28, 2010. Thank you for making me a rock star today, TBSP!

Super cool Amy Locurto of Living Locurto and I Heart Faces interviewed me on her website HERE. I adore Amy. She is also a graphic designer/blogger/mom. We go waaay back together, about 2 years. That’s something like 20 years in blog friendships. Thank you so much for the kind feature Amy!

Label Hardware: Free PDF Graphics!


My previous post about organizing with label hardware got my design juices flowing so I created some fun and free hardware images for you to use! Time to start honing your skills with that image editing software! Click on the black and white art below to access the PDF file. You can clip out the frame style you like and reproduce it several times to print out for labeling albums, books, boxes and such. Trim out along the borders or cut out simple rectangles around the image.Use as graphics for editorial-style photos, report covers and the like.They make cool graphics for greeting cards. Try using the outer frame of one to mask an image like I did with the feedsack print below.I gave one set of frames a brass look- grab and go!They make great blog button graphics! Here’s some with blinding colors to get your attention.Or, just utilize the fun outlines of the graphics for your design projects, such as labels, tags and logos.What will you do with them?
