Printables: October

Happy Monday! With October coming close to an end, I thought it's about that time again for my monthly Printables post! In case you missed September's batch, you can find it here. I originally started using free printables over a year ago for my SMASH* books. Over time, I've incorporated them into all of my books. My Project Life album, handmade Daybooks, even my Filofax organizers.

If the whole "Printables" thing is new to you, or it's something you've been meaning to look into, I strongly urge you to read this post. You'll find lots of helpful tips and tricks for at-home printing, including ways to save time and money doing it...

Every month I'm on the lookout for new free printables to add to my collection. In October, it's journal & filler cards, along with fun elements I can use in my books. Since I only print once a month, I need my stuff to go the extra mile... the versatility of the printables I use helps with that.

Now onto the goodies....

CUSTOMIZED NOTECARDS

Printables: OCT | Editable Notecards

Hello Notecards by Benign Objects

Striped Notecards by Jenny Bevlin

These cards could be used for anything. Journal cards for Project Life or notecards for penpal letters. I'll be using these as paper for my A5 Filofax planner. [Just punch holes!] Hence the, "I'm a Filofax Addict." It'll be a fun place for important notes, favorite quotes, a checklist. Anything.

PROJECT LIFE CARDS & ELEMENTS

Printables: OCT | Journalers. Fillers. Elements.

I'm always restocking my supply of Project Life cards. I love the fun and colorful designs and styles available! A lot of the stuff I found this month had little elements as part of the collection. They're so versatile... try using 'em in different books! The Watercolor set has circle tags & labels, and prompt cards for journaling. The What About Me collection has cards, washi, flair, banners, and label sentiments. I even found some Pinterest cards!

TYPOGRAPHY

Inspire Quote by Ashley Ella

None of my books or projects would be complete without quote cards and typography. Each with their own special message. I print them as 4x6 or 3x4 [shown here] and tuck them into Project Life pockets, add them to my Filofaxes for inspiration, or as an element on a SMASH* spread. Be creative! [Tip: I used a small corner punch on these cards.]

VINTAGE GLAM STUDIO

Printables: OCT | Designer - Vintage Glam Studio

The Blues Journaling Elements

Air Mail Journaling Elements

Vintage Office Supply Journaling Elements

Each month I like to feature a new favorite designer. I recently came across Vintage Glam Studio... and fell in love. The style of VGS is sweet and whimsical. Shown here are just a few of the designs, but there are still about a dozen more left to print! Each of these sets come with 4 fun journal cards and a various mix of elements. From banners and washi tape to flair, flags, and labels. The cards are great for PL, and the little elements would be perfect for planners or SMASHing. I know how I'll be using mine! I highly recommend browsing Vintage Glam's blog. There are so many wonderful things to be discovered!
