Valentine’s Day | love notes

6 February 2014

With just a little over a week to Valentine’s Day, it’s time to get cracking on those Valentine’s Day notes!

Truth be told, I’m not into Valentine’s Day at all. But I do love any excuse to print and use cute printables to share with my family and friends.

There are plenty of Valentine’s Day ideas floating around Pinterest. But I loved these printables and printed them out pronto. Here’s a bonus – they’re free! So grateful for people who share their creativity on the internet at no cost.

Printable Valentine Love Notes by Eighteen25

Valentine’s Day printables from Studio Calico

I ran out of paper at the end and didn’t get to print out these Valentines from A Fabulous Fete and A Pair and A Spare.

But I will, as soon as I get my hands on more paper.

I hope your day is lovely indeed!

21 projects // DIY printable post-its

4 September 2013

There’s just something about post-its that make me really happy. They are one of those stationery supplies that I could have endless amounts of. So these neon post-it notes + a cute and easy printable = happiness all around.

Not only were they cute, but also super simple to do. (And you probably know by now, how much I love things that are quick and easy.)

Just download the printable from Living Locurto, lay your post-its on the page, and run it through the printer again. And WA-LAH! You have customized printables for school homework. Although, I think these would work just fine for plenty of other things besides homework. One thing I neglected to do was to check the size of my post-its against the printable template. It turned out that my post-its were actually a little larger than the template. So the guidelines themselves ended up being printed on my post-it. But the lines were pretty faint and I got to add some cute phrases with my Dear Lizzy phrase stamp, so it’s all good.

I think I’ll take Tater Tots and Jello’s tips for making my own template next time though. I love the idea of getting to add whatever text or graphic you want for some unique sticky notes for whatever you need!

21 projects // DIY travel journal

26 August 2013

I’m not even really sure whether to call this a DIY, since all I really did was compile several printables and put them all into a book, tied together with some twine. But I really had fun doing this so I’m counting it in (;

I made this travel journal for one of my little friends who traveled to America for several weeks. And just to keep her occupied during the long flight there and back, I put together a fun travel journal for her to work on during the trip.

The options of what to include are endless. But here are some of the ones I chose to use: travel journal prompts, map of the United States, games, and journal sheets. (You can find more printables on my Pinterest board.)

I kept things simple – travel journal + color pencils + a pack of chocolate. But really, you can make this as simple or complicated as you like. I would’ve put more things in, but I didn’t have much time to get this together, so nice + simple it was.
