Free Fall Printable

 

Since I'm "mobility limited" still, sharing another printable. Spending a LOT of time with Procreate and it's a good thing I have a Creative Fabrica subscription so I have unlimited downloads of images, fonts, brushes and palettes!



I used watercolor Procreate stamps in a Fall palette, combined with Fall themed Procreate brushes.

Happy Friday Eve, all. Again hoping that anyone in the path of Milton is safe and damage is minimal.  Let's hope this is it for the season!

Free Printable: Fall Is My Favorite Color

 


Even if it doesn't feel like it here in the desert where we're still in triple digits but given weather elsewhere, trust me, I am NOT complaining and continuing to hold all those in Milton's path and Helene's wake in my thoughts. 

Before an epically stupid "yes, I knew better" move of falling off of my kitchen countertop while Halloween decorating, one ER and one trauma center visit, and having to have my knee stitched back together, I got my house mostly haunted. What didn't get finished will just have to wait until next year when I will no longer be climbing on countertops!

So...my creativity is once again limited to Procreate, Creative Fabrica, and my iPad and sharing this Fall (pun intended) printable. Please download here

Happy October and Happy Friday Eve Creative Peeps! Like everyone else, I'm thinking of all of the people affected by Hurricane Helene and if you were impacted, I hope that you are safe and dry. Growing up in earthquake country, I've never been through one except getting out ahead of Andrew on a business trip years ago and that was scary enough. 

Once again, time's done its thing and we're at the end of the year again already. Lots to do. I shared some more printables I had fun making in Procreate and combining files from Creative Fabrica. These have a literary twist! You can see them here along with the download link. 

Let's take a look at some of the seasonal fun shared at last week's party!


Fresh Vintage by Lisa S shared a wonderful way to use old wood spools and turn them into festive Pumpkin Placecards



Handmade Weekly shared her transformation of a store bought candle into a Spooky Halloween Candle. I really need a laser tool! 


Hunny I'm Home DIY shared a fabulous take on tomato cage projects with these DIY Witches!


Finally, Recipes Simple shared these wonderfully festive Spider Donuts that are perfect for Spooky Season! 

Thanks to everyone who linked up. Can't wait to see what you've been up to this week!

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!

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!
