First, are you on Twitter? Because I am. And I have a nice, Halloween-y Twitter background with smiling pumpkins and candy corn.

Want it? You got it.

Just right-click on the image above, save to your computer and in your Twitter settings, go to the Design tab and change your background image, pointing your browser to the image file you just saved. Be sure to turn on tiling.

Don’t have Twitter (what’s wrong with you)? No worries, you can also set the image above as your desktop background in your OS settings. Again, don’t forget to turn on tiling. Or you can download wallpaper fit for your screen resolution:

Sweet Tooth
Choose your resolution: 1024 x 768 | 1280 x 960 | 1440 x 900 | 1600 x 1200

See mine?

I cleaned up my files and folders on my desktop just for this screen grab so you better go download. However if Halloween is not your thing, I have regular, non-holiday wallpapers over on my Downloads section and I’m looking to add more to those if time permits. In the meantime, happy Halloween!

More traffic leads to more exposure which may lead to more sales. I checked the numbers for the last giveaway (the Irish Bear for St. Patrick’s Day) and the views and downloads were climbing for both the PDF pattern and the wallpapers. So here’s another couple of freebies just in time for Easter!

First up for the stitchy people– a free Easter bunny in a basket PDF embroidery pattern (or coloring page)!

Print this out and transfer onto your fabric by taping the page up to a brightly-lit window and tracing the outline with a fabric pen. You can also use transfer paper to transfer the illustration on to your fabric.

And let’s not leave out the crafty paper posse as I also have free printable Easter stationery sheets:

Free Easter stationery sheets – Click to download the PDF (5.3 MB)

This stationery page fits three sheets on a letter-sized page. Just print it out as many or as little pages as you need using your colored home printer and cut along the provided lines.

Both downloads are in .PDF format. You will need the free Adobe Reader to view these files.

With Easter just a few days away, these are perfect for those last-minute Easter shoppers who missed out on scouring their local shops for Easter goodies. They’re all here and they’re even free! Do keep in mind though that while these are free to download, they’re only for your personal use and by no means will they be used for commercial purposes. I still retain copyright to the artwork.

Enjoy and Happy Easter!

I like the little bear dude a lot (he’s a character I’ve been drawing since my college days– I will have to dig out my early 2002 sketches of him when he looked a lot different from today) so I colored him digitally and turned him into a nice wallpaper also free for download.

Click to download the image above as a desktop wallpaper at the following sizes:
1024 x 768
1280 x 800
1440 x 900

Enjoy!

These are just some of the notebooks we’re selling- recycled cereal box covers (because cereal boxes are so fun to look at) and covers with my own designs and illustrations. I started listing items two weeks ago and I’m happy to say I had my first seven sales today!

All buyers at my shop will receive free a free button pin with their order (until supplies last) as part of the store opening promo, but here’s another promo where no purchase is necessary.

I am making a print-your-own PDF of the gift tags pictured above available for download, FREE. All you have to do is go to my shop, go to the SHOP POLICIES page linked from the sidebar on the right, and search for a password somewhere on the first page (it’s very easy to spot). Once you have it, go to this post to type in the password and you will be given the instant download link. Save the PDF to your computer (you will need the free Adobe Reader to view the file) and print! These 3 x 2 tags are great for occasions such as birthdays, Valentine’s, or just to slip a quick hello to someone.

So what are you waiting for?
1. Go to my shop and view my shop policies (the link to the shop policies is on right sidebar of the shop)
2. Look for the password
3. Type in the password on this post!

Enjoy!

Gryffindor Green Peas? What the hell? When did Hogwarts start producing canned peas? Actually, I was working on the Gryffindor badge (without the green peas!) for a little project of mine when I remembered I didn’t have anything for IF yet. I decided to make a can label out of the house badge to wrap around a can to fit IF’s topic for the week. So I added the green peas banner and tada, problem solved.

Here’s a bigger version of the logo without the distortion:
