Here it is!
The start of something new!
Something to inspire you, something to inspire me!
I was listening to a podcast interview from the Good Life Project with Lisa Congdon. She talked about her collection a day blog series she did. First, I couldn’t believe it was back in 2010. Seemed like just last year. But something she said stuck with me. She talked about how doing a project like that makes you really see what you like and what you don’t like.
I’ve been working as a professional graphic designer since the 80s. I’ve been designing for the scrapbook and home decor markets for nearly 10 years. I do believe I know what I like. But I also believe in evolving as an artist. Fine tuning my skills, and finding fresh inspiration.
So… I’ve taken that spark of inspiration and turned it into 50 Cards in 50 Days!
I’ll be sharing a new, free printable 3×4 Journal Card with an inspirational message or sentiment every day for the next 50 days [in honor of my 50th birthday]. So check back every day and click on the card to download the full-size printable and share this creative journey with me.
Click on the image to download the full-size 3×4 Pocket Card.
Be inspired to scrap and I’ll see you at DesignerDigitals!
Awesome! Thank you so much! Happy 50th Birthday!!!
you’re welcome–thanks for the birthday wishes 🙂
What a way to celebrate 50! Thank you so much. The first card IS inspirational, and gorgeous and I’m already looking forward to tomorrow. 🙂 Thank you!
Glad you like the card–hoping you like tomorrow’s as well 😉
Awesome Katie. Thanks for sharing. I have two requests: 1) Would you leave them up for at least a month (we are often out of town for at least two weeks with no download capabilities)?; 2) Could you list what products you used in each one (more items to put on my wishlist for coordinating with the cards)? Thanks.
Thanks Patsy! Yes, they will be left up indefinitely! 🙂 And I will post the products used when it’s something from the store but this is also a creative journey for me and will have some new pieces as well!
Thank you! I can’t wait to see what you cook up. 🙂
Thank you Cindy!
Congratulations for your 50th birthday. Many many good wishes for the coming year. Love this. I just wish that I could be as innovative as yourself because there is no way that I could think of a different subject for fifty days in a row. I procrastinate too much and It takes me forever just to do one page. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks Myra, must admit they are not nearly all done–but I’m up for the challenge 😉
Happy Birthday and thank you for this project and its freebies!
Thanks Kim! 🙂
How amazingly generous of you. Hope your birthday is just as amazing!
Thanks so much Jane!
What a great idea and than you for sharing! Does it download as a jpeg? Or am I doing something wrong?
Yes, it should download as a jpeg–please let me know if you have any trouble 🙂
Hi Katie (((hugs))) I just wanted to wish you an incredibly HAPPY BIRTHDAY today and remind you that you have and continue to bring ‘Joy to the world’! Luckier world 😉 xo
Thanks so much Risa!
Thank you for the gift for YOUR birthday. Happy happy birthday. I hope you have a splendid celebration.
Thank you Vivian! Yes, have an awesome birthday, thank you!
Your birthday and we get the lovely present(s)! Can’t wait! Thank you!
Thanks Kris!
Thank you for the beautiful card and Happy Birthday!!
You’re welcome and thank you for the birthday wishes 🙂
Awesome!! Thanks and enjoy the ride!! (I couldn’t get it download, only right click and save as ?)
Thanks Donna! Click on it and the full-size card should pop up and then right click to save as… LMK if you’re still having trouble! 🙂
Thanks so much and HB!!!! Love your artistry.
Thanks so much Marilyn!
Excellent idea Katie. Love cards 1 & 2 and will be checking in for more inspiration. These would be wonderful to send on to friends who might be needing a little encouragement or inspiration. I did something similar a while back, making Care Cards with words of wisdom and encouragement. Several times I printed out a few sheets of them and took them in to my therapist (I have multiple pain conditions and chronic biochemical depression) to give out to clients who could use a little reminder that someone cares. It’s amazing how much a little gesture of kindness can make. Great way to celebrate 50 years. Happy Birthday to you!
What a wonderfully thoughtful Idea Sherry! Be well!
Thanks Katie! I can’t wait to check everyday for another piece of awesomeness!
Thanks Dawnee 🙂
Happy Birthday, Katie! Thank you so much for the card. It is beautiful. What a wonderful way to express your thoughts and so kind to share them. Have a grand year!
Thanks so much Danesa! Glad you like the card!
Thank you so much, they are lovely. I can’t wait to get them all! So very generous of you.
You’re welcome! It should be a fun collection!
Thank you very much for your 50 cards … they will serve as inspiration pieces as I walk on the journey with you. My 50th birthday is later this month, so we have something in common! Hope you have a wonderful long birthday celebration becoming a quinquagenarian!!!
Happy early birthday to you DeLisa! Are you as reflective as I’ve been? This is one milestone that kind of hit me upside the head 😉
Happy Birthday, Katie! This project is an awesome gift to yourself and to us–thank you. I am going to make a book of these cards for myself–the first one being especially poignant b/c my OLW for 2014 is “brave.” Thank you again.
Your work is just so fantastic! thanks so much for inspiring and sharing your work with those of us less fortunate in the creativity category!
I love your idea for this project! Thank you for these lovely gifts to celebrate your 50th. I will also reach that milestone in December (Lord willing).
