Hello everyone. My name is Erin Vale and I am a freelance graphic designer who runs a small business and website, Vale Design. I specialize in package design, but I also have a mad passion for stationery, paper goods, list making and printables. Today I have collaborated with a talented friend to make a free printable treat for all of you!
{Drum roll please} I am blessed to call this woman friend. She has been a creative confidant of mine for some time and I am super excited to introduce her to all of you. Her name is Lori McDonough and she is a professional illustrator and all around super hero/mom. She runs a successful studio, Whimsy Studios and blog, Fresh Picked Whimsy. Whimsical just might be the best way to describe her style. Admiring one of Lori’s adorable illustrations will make you smile and lets you discover a little piece of Lori herself.
The two of us got together {along with our third creative partner in crime} for lunch and brainstorming and out of that came the Latte Notes. Lori’s idea and illustration bring my love for practical design and list making to life! This is what happens when two crazy creatives put their heads and talents together! We hope you love them, share them and use them till you run out of tasks to complete! Just print on 8.5x11 paper and trim down the dotted lines. There are 2 lists per 8.5x11 page.

Cheers – Erin

Please visit tomorrow and I am going to show you how to make these darling lists into a magnetic notepad for your refrigerator!

Is your doorbell always ringing with requests for play? If you are finding nap time and dinner interrupted, the talented Whitney of Whisker Graphics has come to the rescue with this darling door hanger.

Perfect for when your kids can play

and also when they can't. It would also be funny for adults to hang this on their office door or cubicle!

1. Print on white card-stock
2. Trim on cut marks
3. Fold in half
4. Secure with glue along the side.
5. With a large circle punch, make hole in center, 3/4” down from the top.
6. Cut slit from top of paper to hole (or) attach ribbon for hanging.
7. Hang on your door!
If you would like a custom door hanger with your children's names please visit Whisker Graphics. For $5.00 you can purchase the PDF and customize the door hanger with your children's names. Cool!

Celebrating around here with paper masks. Print, cut and decorate!
Printable Mardi Gras Mask
I cut slits on the side of the mask so it will fit snugly but allow the sides to stick out. Punch a small hole on each side and then tie on some elastic thread.

I was wishing we had some feathers to add to our colors and glitter! It doesn't matter though, she is ready to party!

Update:
I think the comment from Susan is true. I don't think putting the glitter around the eyes was a good thing. It would be really easy to get into their eyes. Actually I think if any glitter is used on the mask it should be glitter glue----so the glitter is incased in the glue and won't flake off! Thanks, Susan!
