Curtsey Kit Sneak Peak and Back to School Digital Freebie

Curtsey Boutique "Little Red Wagon" Kit Sneak Peek

You may have noticed the blog's been a bit quiet lately. This is partly because I've been spending time with the kids, traveling to see family and teaching my summer session - but it is also because I've been hard at work creating the Curtsey Boutique's first kit, "Little Red Wagon". It is chalk FULL of almost 100 items including:

Dyed doilies

Stick Pins

Embossed Glassine Bags

Embossed Kraft Bags

Pennants

Mini Flags

Cork Embellishments

Felt Embellishments

Tags

Mini Albums

Labels

Custom Bingo Card

Custom Flashcards

Paper Bag Pockets

and lots more...

The photo above is a sneak peak. I was inspired by the Back to School vibe that's filling the air and my kid's backpacks with new school supplies. Whether you are a card maker, scrapbooker, or packaging fan this kit has something to please every crafty palette.

 The kits will go live for purchase on Monday. Because most of the items are hand made by me limited quantities will be available.

I've also been working hard on finding vintage school themed images so here are two freebies. The first is a 4x6 journaling card and the second is a PNG image (it will have a transparent background) of two sweet little girls working on a chalkboard from a turn of the century Sears Catalog.

You may use the images for commercial use, personal use or scrapbook for hire if you link back to my blog. 

Enjoy the freebies and have a lovely day,

CarrieAnne

Curtsey Boutique Vintage School Journaling Card Digital Freebie

Library Chic products in the Shop and Two Vintage Journaling Card Freebies

Assorted Set of 25 Library Cards - Curtsey Boutique

 I've been super busy adding fun items to the shop.  As a teenager I spent my Summers volunteering at the local library on my military base. One summer I transferred over 1000 books from the old card catalog system to the new bar code scanners we all take for granted these days. You might think, I'd never want to see a library card or stamp again, but just the opposite is the case. I love use library cards for gift wrap, journaling in my scrapbook and Project Life projects and making tags.

One of my favorite finds is these monthly periodical check out cards. They already have the day and month on them, so pop them in a typewriter, run them through your printer or hand write some journaling and voila you're finished. So fun!!

Cards can be purchased by color or in assortments in the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/curtseyboutique?section_id=10783255

Library Calendar Journaling Cards - Curtsey Boutique

I've also been hard at play with digital images again, and have two 3x4 journaling cards below for you to use.  I really like the idea of the ledger paper inside the doily on the second one - what do you think?
