Gothic Printables with Procreate and Creative Fabrica

 

I haven't been making physical things as much as I'd like right now but I have been having way too much fun creating things digitally. I can't say enough about getting my money's worth out of my Creative Fabrica subscription. Not selling, just sharing. 

I'm also learning Procreate as I go...I do better by playing around, finding what I'm trying to do via You Tube etc. and have taken a couple of free classes. So I don't profess to be an expert but I had a ton of fun with these and sharing is caring right? 

I combined backgrounds I made in Procreate with images from Creative Fabrica and quotes for the season from some of my favorite writers. 


A quote from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to remind us about unleashing the power of the monsters we create. 


Can't do gothic without Poe! 


I have no doubt that Thoreau was an introvert like me! 


And just for fun, nothing beats the love of a good BOOk!


If you download, please do so here. And if you use, would love to see!

BFF Open House

 


Happy Friday Eve again already, Creative Peeps. The week blew by quickly and not gonna lie, I'm tired after having my Mom here for a few days after her pacemaker implant last week, then getting her situated back at her place, getting groceries, follow-up appointments, etc. Whine. Whine. Whine. But when you're getting older yourself...I think it's important to be honest with ourselves and not try to be heroes. So self-care and get your rest when you can! PSA: You're no good to anyone if you're laid out yourself! 

So, other than playing around in Procreate (I'll post some more printables soon) I haven't done anything creative this week. Let's take a look at some of the fun Fall inspiration shared at last week's party!


My French Twist shared these festive Tiny Paper Pumpkins, perfect for the season. Easy to make and put everywhere! 


Steph Creates shared this fun Halloween Tabletop Decor


Sum of Their Stories has a BRILLIANT way to repurpose an Aran-style sweater into a bag! Perfect if you have one you no longer wear but love or to pickup when out thrifting. 


Finally, Flour on My Face shared these perfect for Fall Pumpkin Spice Cake Pops, perfect as an addition to any dessert table or as takeaway treats for guests!

Thanks to all who linked up and can't wait to see what's in store this week!

Happy Friday Eve all! Hope you've had a great week. Temps are starting to come down here in the high desert. My new normal is, Fall is under 90 degrees! Been a busy week with unexpected news last week that my Mom needed a pacemaker which she got yesterday and made it through like a champ. So that's been my week! Hope you've all had a good one!

We're definitely in "Spooky Season" mode...full swing! So let's take a look at a few ideas from last week's party! 

Charleston Crafted share this wonderfully creepy DIY Halloween Candy Bowl. Inspired by one seen at West Elm and looks like it could have come from there! 



Equally perfect for Fall is this Fall Farmhouse Wreath shared by Hunny I'm Home DIY


Crazy Little Love Birds shared this DIY Fun Halloween Art. Fun to make for yourself or as a gift. 


Finally, if you're looking for a creeptacular dessert for the Halloween season, these Blood and Glass Pudding Cups from Ann's Entitled Life are perfect! 

Thanks to all who linked up. Your creativity is inspiring and at times when life gets stressful, it helps a LOT!

Happy Friday Eve All! Thanks for understanding that there were no features at last week's party. We had the BEST little local getaway at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain Resort in Marana, AZ! SPOILED! 

It's full speed ahead to Halloween and Fall decorating season and pretty sure when I run some errands, there will be Christmas stuff in stores. I saw some a few weeks ago at Dollar Tree! 

Let's take a look at some of the wonderful ideas shared at last week's party. 


Steph Creates shared this faBOOlous Mini Cauldron idea. Whip up several! 


Crazy Little Love Birds shared these festive Air Dry Clay Placecards


Master Pieces of My Life shared a great tutorial on how to DIY Wedgewood Jasperware.



Finally, I know it's pumpkin spice season for all you PS lovers but for me, Fall is apple season! And this Apple Butter Caramel Toffee Strudel from Cindy's Online Recipe Box looks amazing! 

Thank you to everyone who linked up and can't wait to see what's in store this week!
