Monster Bash - Free Art Turned Invite

I started my monster bash design with a little unexpected inspiration — from weddingchicks.com freebies designs. The modern monogram suite is so lovely. That was my starting off point. Next onto the  hero here, free "Little Monster" brushes from pumpkinsandposies.com. They were used to create the  graphic for the party theme — father and son party monsters. Just add to that a few details from the "Happy Birthday" brush set also from pumpkinsandposies.com and one sharp font called scribble box, downloaded from dafont.com, and your favorite color palette. Then go crazy with a custom stamp so you can add the mark to napkins, cupcake toppers, table cloth and party favors! Done.

St. Valentine Love & Free Bunting

So I'm currently on the hunt — for all things party. Both of my boys are celebrating birthdays next month, and in my search for the right blended theme, I discovered these oh-so-lovely inspiring bunting designs.

Upper left FREE printable paper bunting from A Pair of Pears, upper right washi tape garland for $5 from etsy shop owlanddove (pair that with these super cute striped paper straws and the look it complete), bottom left personalized bunting for $20 from etsy shop bluebirdandviolet, bottom right vintage fabric bunting for $21 from etsy shop AFeteBeckons.

After all this delight I started on a little test... and ended with my own creation for St. Valentine's Day. You can download the FREE printable here and create your own bunting.

How many ways can I say...

...how wonderful The Coffee Shop Blog is!! There is so much info and energy and FREEBIES, oh my:) And my favorite download these days — Frame #14. I'm in love. Not only is it a fab vintage frame (supplied by Lori Peterson), but it will age your image without any extra editing in photoshop. Does it get any better? 

Download this goodie along with other finds, right here. Thanks Rita!!

It's a new year, and after the holidays. I want to remember every last detail from our recent holiday past so I put together a fun digital scrapbook page design from a collection of different freebies. Have a look at the result.

The Freebies: Background Canvas Texture from fuzzimo.com, picture frame art from besottedblog.com, Hand of Sean handwritten font from dafont.com and sunny pop photo action applied to photos from thecoffeeshopblog.com
