Valentine’s day is sneaking up! I have some projects in the works, but I’ve been getting ready for CHA so I haven’t had time to finish and share them. I did however release a digital line of valentine’s kits that are sooooo cute, so I wanted to share those with you. I also have 2 free valentine downloads, those will be at the bottom of the post, so keep reading!
The first thing I want to show you is an adorable “Ten reasons why I’m crazy about you” quick album that I designed. This is really awesome and I’m going to finish mine and print it out for Mr. Project for V-day this year. Basically it consists of TEN 5″x7″ pages where you can quickly drop in photos and your text, or simply drop in your photos, print and then hand-write your text. I am super exited about this meaningful album. It’s available in my shop at Design House Digital.
I also have a bunch of Smitten papers, elements and heart sets in my shop. This mini kit is 30% off Thursday Jan 21 ONLY.
So now to the freebies! My friend and Design House Decorator Tiffany Bodily Made this adorable Photo valentine. The file is a PNG file (like my quick album), where you can drop your photo under the image layer and then print it out.
I made a cute printable valentine that doesn’t require any work or know-how:
Both valentine cards measure 3″wide by 4″ tall when printed. They are each set up on their own 8.5×11 sheet for easy printing. These cards are for PERSONAL use only and can only be downloaded from www.theprojectgirl.com. If you find these downloads available elsewhere, please contact me using the contact link on this site. Happy Valentine’s day!
Here are a few beautiful layouts by the Design House Decorators showing off my Smitten digital products:
If you’ve heard about Project 365 or are thinking about doing it, now is a great time to start. I’m sure you have *some* photos from 2010 and many more days are ahead of you still! This year I was planning on doing a modified version of 365 where I would compile photos from each month and make a few pages, and then at the end of the year get an album printed. However when I really started looking at how much fun taking just one single picture every day could be, I decided to go for it! So I made a super clean, super simple album template for the month of January. I wanted it to be very photo-oriented because with 365 photos of different things, you don’t want too much interfering with that. Plus I like really graphic and editorial style layouts. Here is the album that I designed:
You can see that it’s really basic. It has 8 pages wth spaces for 31 photos, and then a 9th page which has one line for a caption for each photo. I am going to make a corresponding album for every month of 2010. Each will be a variation based on the season, but they will all have the same look and feel so that if you followed the project through for the whole year, you would end up with a sleek coordinating album.
You can also personalize and modify the template to your specifications by adding digital elements and patterns. I decided to make a quick video tutorial to show you just how easy it is to compile your photos from 2010. Hopefully it will inspire you to start taking pictures! If you are unfamiliar with templates, this tutorial should give you a basic understanding of how templates work in general. I used Photoshop Elements 8.0 but the same principles apply to other versions as well as full-featured Photoshop.
If you haven’t checked out Design House Digital because you’re not a scrapbooker, you’re missing out on all the great projects you can make with digital kits that are not scrapbook related. There are some very crafty ladies who are posting fun printable projects and tutorials on the DHD blog, and they are too awesome not to share!
You must see this fun tutorial on decorating a cake:
For all my Digital Scrapbooking readers, I have lots of new Digital Goodness to share! I’m now selling my kits at Design House Digital (tell your friends) and have a whole line of Design 365 Products that I’m working on a tutorial for. So I’m going to post about those a little later. But I REALLY wanted to share my new Vanity Fair Collection. I have 2 color sets done and am working on atleast 2 more. Check out these beautiful kits:
Hopefully I’ll have layouts from the Design House Decorators to show you soon! The Aubergine kits are all 30% off today (Monday only)
After quite a few requests for a more comprehensive planner, I created this 2010 Weekly Planner. Complete with yearly schedule of chores to keep your household organized.
There are 52 Week at a glance sheets that have daily chores, notes, menu, and a shopping list:
The best part of this printable PDF is the yearly chore chart:
Every day of the year is accounted for with all the chores that will keep your household organized and completely managed. Even items like backing up hard drives, filing receipts, scheduling carpet cleaning are all in there. If you can more or less stick to the schedule, your house will look amazing every single day, and you’ll wonder what to do with all your free time!
And that’s not all…the Printable PDF File also includes a Perpetual Birthday Calender so you can keep special dates organized and easy to access all year long.
This planner is a bit bigger than my normal PDFs – 67 pages! So I am selling it for $12.99 at Design House Digital.
