So you might have noticed that I haven't been here on my blog for a few months. I was working full-time at my husband's clinic and busy with the family so I had no spare time to spend here. I am now back to part-time at the clinic and homeschooling Isaac (Luke is in college), but I hope to get back posting my freebies, so keep an eye out for me here! I didn't have much time to go on any adventures this summer, but here is a photo of us last night at an outdoor concert (CCR cover band) at a local winery. It has been so hot (one of the hottest summers on record) so we haven't been doing ..read more

Today I have a brand new fine art texture set to share with you called Catlin 5. This set is very soft and pretty and looks gorgeous applied over floral and other still life images, but you can use them on portraits or landscapes. Try de-saturating, layering, or changing their colors for an almost infinite variety of edits! The beauty of textures is you can take any of your own images or stock images and turn them into unique works of art that would look gorgeous on cards and or hanging on the wall. Design trends are going away from mass-produced art so why not make your own beautiful prints ..read more

Today I wanted to share a new printable digital paper pack I call "Modern Botanicals". I love creating illustration-themed papers and I used many of the beautiful images from The Graphics Fairy premium site to create this set. Most of the images were color but I wrote a little action that quickly turns them into B&W illustrations. I will be sharing that action with you this week.  This set of papers are 8.5 x 11 inches so they can all be printed or used on the web and they come with free commercial terms-of-use. You can see a blown-up version below of the details.  I hope you lo ..read more

I found these gorgeous Sears, Roebuck, and Co 1914 public domain wallpaper samples and I turned them into papers that you can print or use on your own designs. I used Photoshop to clean-up and edit them and I am really happy with the results. I changed some of the design elements (added flowers and centered some of the elements) and colors but most of the original details remain.   Download the CoffeeShop "Sears 1914 Wallpaper" Paper Pack.

I am going to start revisiting some of my older Photoshop/PSE actions every week. I have over 400 actions on this site and I love rediscovering old classics. It is spring, so why not play around with a perfect spring edit! Today I wanted to edit with my "Creamy Luxe" action. I wrote this one back in 2015. I had an 11 and an 8 year old boy in the house back then, and I have no idea how I got anything done on my blog. This is a simple little action but is stunning applied on floral images and outdoor portraits. Here is an example photo edit using "Creamy Luxe". Download the original image here ..read more

I am BACK!  I have had a few people check on me on my Facebook page and I really appreciate their concern. Luke and I have been working full-time at my husband's business, filling in until we hired some new staff. That put a damper on the time and energy I needed to post here on my blog, but now we have a full staff and I am back to working part-time for Paul (when needed). I really missed creating. So a few things. First, my CoffeeShop MegaPack is on sale, so please check it out! And if you have purchased it already within two years, email me if you want my newest version for free.  ..read more

I read a comment asking me to start posting some digital designs that are not so "girly". Looking back I do apparently concentrate on flower-inspired designs, so I am up to the challenge! Today's theme is "camping".  If you have any suggestions of things you would like for me to post here, just leave a comment below. I love when I get reader suggestions!
