During all those years of penpalling, I've learned that if there's something I'm very terrible at, it is first letters. When you have to write to someone you don't really know much about, especially if you have to introduce yourself and you wouldn't enjoy ending up with a self-centered wall of text, there is a fun way to to do it with a twist!
Instead of a regular letter, you could unleash your creativity and craft a minizine (or a regular zine for that matter) all about you and your interests.
Here's some examples of what I've done in the past~ you can use a regular sheet of paper and decorate it with your favorite technique,
or you can use scrap paper, book pages, and whatnot, and just fill it afterwords with bits and bobs about you!
One more thing is, if you're not feeling inspired or you just need somewhere to start, you can download this minizine template I made, here. It has ready-to-fill pages with simple prompts (such as fav books, facts about you etc). Also, if it's your first time folding one, help yourself:
Have a great day,

freebie friday XXVII
I NO LONGER POST ON THIS BLOG, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW ONE!
Hello guys, many of you were enthusiast about the non-letter sets freebie I posted a few weeks ago, so I'm sharing another one today.
These are replicas of old concert tickets, I thought it could be a fun way to display in your scarpbook your favourite songs, or also to include them in your penpal letters ☺
Let me know your opinions and stay tuned for some new letter set next Friday!
Have a good weekend,
ƒ.

Hi guys!
Lots of you thought my latest illustrations would have made a lovely letter set, so I created one:
I also made an expansion pack you can buy, featuring two more little creatures.
{This expansion will soon be available for free for the subscribers of my newsletter service!}
Let me know if you like them, and have a nice weekend!

Exclusive Printables Newsletter
Hello guys, 2013 has started and I'm very glad to leave 2012 behind me. I want the new year to get off to a good start and the only way to do it, is to challenge myself with a project.
One of my friends and I, once had an idea very similar to what Julie & Laura created recently, but you know how it is, life sometimes throws a spanner in the works and your dreams fall into oblivion.
As I said, I needed a trigger to feel creatively challenged this year, so I decided to brush up this old dream, reshape it, and make it more suitable to my own capacities.
/ I'm starting to blab, so let's cut to the heart of the matter:
I know you guys love printables (I do, too!), and I'm grateful for every single one of you who downloads or buy mine.
My idea for this new year, is to create a newsletter service that will deliver to you, every first day of the month, an exclusive printable letter set!
The freebies will still be up every Friday on my blog, but by subscribing to this mailing list, you'll be granted access to premium letter sets and occasional bonuses that will be exclusive to the members only :)
Think of it as a subscription to a lucky bag, you know that you'll be receiving a letter set but you don't know how it will look like, its theme, etc. Thrilling, uh?
Of course the themes will be quite generic so that there's more chances that everyone will like them (for example, you'll never find a printable about, let's say, wrestling. The themes will range from vintage to food to travels and so on).
I wrote a FAQ page (that will be updated with time) about this, so you can check it out to find out the details.
But let's do the grownups talk, how much will it cost you? Quite a bargain if you ask me:
I probably shouldn't tell you but I can't resist.. the first theme is going to be "vintage postage" and I love how the letter vset turned out, so I'm very excited to offer it first!
If I got you interested, keep reading for all the details and the how-to's ▼

Guess who's back, back again, Freebie Friday's back.. tell a friend ♫

Anyways guys, I hope you'll be glad to see the freebies getting out and about, because I have a few sets I'm really excited to share with you, starting from this one:
I personally love traveling, collecting maps from the places I visit, and such things, so making a themed letter set was really fun!

Hi guys! I've been receiving tons of messages asking me to start posting Christmas/Holiday related printables, and since I'm a good girl and I want you to be happy, I'm slowly (because guys, I'm not that into Christmas tbh.. shock horror!) starting to make something that I'll be posting for the next couple of weeks.
Today, here you have a wintery note card to send to all your friends! :)
This is how it looks printed out:
The back is red and had a little space to fill with "from" and "date", and of course plenty of space inside to fill with your holiday wishes.
Hope you like it!

Hello guys! No Halloween themed freebies (which you find here & here) this friday because it has been quite a week for me and didn't have time to work on anything, so today I'm giving you something I created out of Marysza's suggestion:

I don't know why a pastel rain should fall on a fox, but still, I think it's cute :)
Hope you enjoy it!

Hello friends! During my giveaway I received A LOT of lovely suggestions for new stationery freebies and I selected the ones I like the most and (slowly~) startedto work on them.
For this week I've created something along Penny's suggestion:
I don't know you but I love the old school Pacman game, so I decided to use it as theme.
What do you think? Enjoy!

Happy freebie Friday, guys!
This week I've made some printables with cute tiny little houses. I don't really know why.. I was just messing around in PS and this happened :D I hope you like them!

(Please note that downloading a variation, you won't get the whole set but only the specified thing).
Enjoy!!
PS: check out my Etsy store for the new cards :3 (10% discount off everything using REOP1 at checkout!)
