Graphic River items: craft flyer + paper textures

I just got a new item approved for sale yesterday on Graphic River, so I thought I'd share :) I've been experimenting a lot lately with a vintage/modern style mix to see what I can come up with, and I've been pretty happy with the results, so I thought I'd put something on GR to see how it'd be received. With that said, my first item is a vintage craft flyer for a grand opening event, which you can check out more fully here or by clicking on the image below.




I also put this paper texture pattern pack up a little while back, but I'm not sure if I mentioned it on here, so just in case you're on the hunt for some new texture resources, hopefully this could help :)

TypeOh! Tuesday #48

Happy Tuesday! Another one-piecer this week due to lots of other work lately (one of which hopefully I can show you this week!). I'm not sure what my deal is lately, but I can't let my pre-lunch hunger not be fed by none other than Milano, double chocolate cookies. Did you know they come double chocolate?! I was surprised, too and can no longer pull myself away from their chocolatey goodness. I dare you - go grab a bag and see how long they last.. it's a dangerous thing. Anyway, that's why wonderful Pepperidge Farm gets a TypeOh! nod this Tuesday.

Slow Runner

Last Thursday I went to see Slow Runner at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta. The lead singer (Michael Flynn) used to be an old co-worker of mine - although he worked out of Charleston and I was north of Atlanta. I remember the first time I found out he was moderately famous - i.e. I had found him on itunes on one of my quests for awesome new music. I was so impressed, and when I found out they were on tour AND coming to Atlanta, well..I was on the sign up list. The show was great, I picked up their new cd and got it inked with signatures :) Definitely preview their new album (Damage Points) on itunes if you get a chance, it'll be well worth it. Anyway, here's a pic snapped with a bunch of my old co-workers + Michael after the concert, and a vid I found on youtube of the band singing on a couch.

TypeOh! Tuesday #47

Happy Tuesday! Just one piece this week, it feels like i've been working on a million things lately. This past weekend I went to a small get together in Atlanta where my friend put out a tray of different cheeses, bread, wine, liquor, beer, you name it. Since I arrived a little late, the brie wasn't looking totally charming to me, so I took a try of one of the other cheeses. My other friend delicately prepared it (meaning he set it on top of a piece of bread), and as I chowed through, mentioned that he had heard somewhere that honey tasted really good with cheese and bread. Of course, I said 'well bring it on!' (he was already reaching for it). It was actually really good! So, weird story, but that's what brought on this week's type. If at some point this week you find yourself eating cheese on a piece of bread, make sure you reach for some honey :o)

I've been officially calling this new place home since Thursday, although with boxes still closed and others opened and half full, it doesn't really look (or feel) so homey. I obviously spend the majority of my time in front of my computer, and the one thing I swore I would do is make a more organized, good looking work space. After getting my bed put together, it was the first thing I tackled, and I'm pretty pleased with the result..not totally there yet, but definitely getting there. Here's a little peek :o)

TypeOh! Tuesday #46

Happy Tuesday! The letter Z is up this week, which completes the doodle drop caps collection! For anyone who might have enjoyed them for the last (almost) 26 weeks, I have a surprise..I'm giving all of their vector files away for free. Just click on the image of all of them below which will bring you to the mediafire download screen. Click on "Click here to start the download from mediafire" and you'll be good to go! The file is around 1.7MB, and good for CS3 or greater. Although a thank you or a credit would be nice if you use them, you don't have to, I just want them to be used and enjoyed. Have a great day!

Digital Fold Freebies

I mentioned in one of my TypeOh! Tuesdays in February that I started a new online shop called The Digital Fold. Since its launch, I've been making the biggest effort to post a new freebie every week (hopefully every Monday). I've been doing pretty well keeping up with it, but realized I haven't mentioned (on this blog) all the fun stuff I've been posting up as free. shame, shame. The readers of this blog out of anyone deserve to know about fun free stuff! So! Here's a little recap. I just put up the birthday cards this week, and everything below is in order from there. I'll make sure I start making a mention every week of new digital files, hope you all enjoy em! Just click on any image to be brought to the download page :o) Happy Monday!

TypeOh! Tuesday #45

Happy Tuesday! The letter Y is up this week, and we're almost there! I have a special surprise next week (if I can finish it with everything else going on) for everyone that has enjoyed the doodle drop caps. This week's about to get crazy, and because I've spent a lot of time packing, the other piece for this week was free handed with a pen and post-it of my new living locale. Pretty excited :) Have a great (less stressful) week!

It's the week of my big move! I spent the entire weekend packing everything I have into boxes and taping them tightly shut. Exhausted, I took a break to check my email and I could tell Nuna was sitting right behind me. I turned around, and there was my little lady, crossing her legs being all dainty. She even held it so I could get a good pic! p.s. ignore the complete wreck that is my apartment, it'll all be better soon!
