Free on Fridays - Vintage Pics

I'm doing a vintage card swap right now over at CafeMom. Here are the cards I made. I got the paper from a monthly kit that I got from A Memory To Scrap the paper is Graphic 45.

I don't do vintage much but I do really like it. So I thought for the freebie this week I would put up links to where I have found some great vintage pics that you can use for cards, altered art or other crafts.

Free on Fridays

Well it's Friday again and I have some freebies for you. Since Sunday is Father's Day I thought I'd list a few sites where you can get free printable Father's Day cards. But of course, we are all making our fathers and husbands cards RIGHT??!!!! ; ) But just in case try these out.

Family Crafts

Parenting Teens

Kaboose

Family Fun - Also has home made gift and dessert ideas

Free Coloring Pages 4U - This also has tons of coloring pages that you could use as stamped images



Now for an actual digital stamped image that you can get for free. It's from a new company called Whimsie Doodles and on her blog there is a turtle on the right hand side that you can download for free. Here is the image and you also get the sentiment too. I printed it on white cardstock but it just didn't look right since there really wasn't any white in the card so I took my red cat eye chalk ink and tapped it over the paper so it wasn't white any more. I used Simply Scrapping Card Sketch #1. The paper line is the Evelyn collection by Scribble Scrabble and the brads are from 3 Bugs in a Rug "Blossom". I used my SU Top Note on the Big Shot - for the first time YEAH!! I pop dotted the turtle and sentiment. The turtle is colored with Copics and Bic markers.

Free on Fridays

I'm going to start posting every Friday with something free that I have found on the internet or maybe something you have at home that you can use in scrapping or cards that would be free basically because you already have it. Today I have several freebies. First is summer titles from Scrap N Fonts. The next one is from Lettering Delights, it's a Father's Day card bundle and Father's Day candy bar wrappers that you can print out. While you are there you can also get a couple very cute candy bar wrappers for free too. You can sign up for newsletters from each of these companies and get emails from them when they have freebies OR...... you can just get them from me when I post them on Fridays!!

I'm really wanting to try and pick up the activity on my blog and I figure freebies are one good way. So pass the word along to your fellow friends and bloggers. : )

My Little Secret is Out

I said I was going to share a secret with you and I guess it's about time. But before I do I wanted to let my Blog RAK ladies know that their goodies were sent out on Monday. Ok, now for my little secret. Well it's not really a secret it's just a little something I found out and I'm probably not the only one who know this but I'd like to think it was all my idea. ; ) Have you ever bought digital stamped images? I haven't but they are a lot less expensive than the stamp. With a few draw backs you can't just stamp anywhere you want, you'd have to print the image out and I guess then you could cut it out and put it where you want. So what about free images? Oh yes there are FREE images out there to be found, printed and colored for a beautiful stamped card. Here is one I found:
Are you sitting there saying "WHAT??!!! Isn't that a Sara Kay stamp?" Yes it is Sara Kay but it actually a coloring page I found online for free. I just reduced the size and printed it on the cardstock I usually use for my stamped images. It is colored with Copics and I didn't have any problems with the ink bleeding. So you want to know where to get these cool images? Ohhhh I bet you do!! Guess what else I found? How about some Strawberry Shortcake images, Holly Hobbie, Hello Kitty, Bratz, Barbie, Groovy Girls and just about any Disney character from any of their movies and so much more. Here are some of the coloring page sites that I found that have some great pages.

Funny Coloring - Dora, Sesame Street, Bob the Builder, Nemo, Paddington Bear, Teletubbies, Spongebob, holiday pages, Bible pages, animals and much more
The Coloring Book - This one has Sara Kay pages, Groovy Girls, Littlest Pet Shop, Minnie Mouse, Stanley, Backyardigans, and TONS more
Kids-n-Fun - Bambi, Bratz, Barbie Pippi Longstocking, Cars, just way too many to list.
The Coloring Spot

There I did it! I shared my secret. I may never have to buy another stamp again!! Yeah, right!! I hope you like this info and find it as awesome as I do. Also feel free to share this information with all your fellow stampers and I would love a link back here to this post. You know, so they too can show me some love. : )
