Wash-Wear Bags for Traveling

I started out making a scarf for a friend but did not like the way it turned out - not enough fabric, perhaps?  Instead, I made these wash-wear bags for traveling and keeping clean items separate from those that needed washing.

Favorite Blogs with Free Downloads

I have so many likes that it difficult to keep things in one place.  I love blogs that have free downloads, My current favorite is Emily Jones, here is her welcome page Jones Design Company, Make sure to sign up for her newsletter, you'll also have access to her free downloads, printables, templates, Christmas, Valentines, Clip Art & Fonts   Emily Jones Archive of Free Downloads
 - lots of fun things and DIY.

Oh my goodness!! Today I came across one paper-flowers tutorial, which led me to another and then another, all from Lia at  Lia Griffith.  So many beautiful bouquets and colors.  Amazing.  Please visit her website.  You can also join her membership club for access to all her fun ideas but I don't have time for so many.  She also has some SVG files for anyone who owns a Cricut (can these be used on my Sihlhouette?).

Make Your Own Digital Stamps

I thought this would be of interest to everyone.  Sometimes you need to add just a little something special and this has some great tips and info.  http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/stampps.html  and yes there are two "p's"in the web address - stampps.  I don't know why but just be aware.  The info is from Gillian Allen.  Here is a little before and after of her work.

Vintage Images - Free

I have so many random pieces of paper with various links for free images that I thought I would finally take a moment and create a post so I would have them all in one spot.  The first one and very well known is  The Graphics Fairy .  Karen has DIYs, projects, images for transferring and instructions for transferring images to a myriad of objects, 12 methods for transferring images.  Some topics in her gallery:  Ads & Labels, Birds, Children, Coca Cola Ads, Couples, Ephemera, Holidays, Flowers, Fairies & Angels, and a few more. Make sure to visit her blog.

Next up is Vintage Images, such a variety of images, I'm sure you'll find exactly what you need or something very similar!
