Black Cat Happy Halloween Gift tags

I can't believe that Halloween is just around the corner.  If you are scrambling like me to find your broomstick and witches hat, then these sweet kitty cauldron Halloween tags are for you. 

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the 13 days of Handmade Halloween hosted by my dear friend Keisha from Cupcake Wishes and Birthday Dreams.  It's 13 days filled with Halloween crafts and inspiration from 13 fabulous bloggers. This year I drew a sweet little black cat and cauldron for a free printable gift tag. These tags are perfect for treat bags, goody bags or any Halloween treats. 

I hope you enjoy these gift tags and have a Happy Halloween filled with candy and cats. Because you can never have enough candy or cats.

Gingerbread House printable treat box

It's that gift giving, treat sharing, goody bag time of year again.  A few weeks ago I shared these Gingerbread house treat boxes on Design Dazzle. Today I'm re-sharing them here because you can never have too many Gingerbread house treat boxes. 

Zentangle Maple Leaf coloring page

I am so thankful it's finally Fall. Fall is in the air here in Maryland.  The weather has gotten chilly and a little dreary. What better way to lift your spirits than with a cozy cup of coffee or tea and a fall leaf coloring page.  

What's great about this printable coloring page is that you can print it off as many times as you like and color them again and again. This is the perfect just for fun or Thanksgiving "sitting at the table" activity.  

HAPPY FALL!!

You can download and print your copy below. If you do color this I'd love to see your results. You can post them directly to my facebook page or post on your own Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitter or Tumblr and tag me @sunnybydesign.

Zentangle Pumpkin Coloring page

Another one of my InkTober drawings was a Zentangle Pumpkin.  I love zentangle. The repetitive patterns are almost therapeutic to draw or color.  So if you need some relaxing sit with your coffee and color time this is for you. It's a great activity for fall or Halloween and for kids or adults too.

"Papa Bear" Father's Day Brunch

Since Daddy has to work this Father's Day we decided to celebrate a little early with a Father's Day brunch. My inspiration for this brunch came from a sweet picture of my hubby walking hand in hand with our girls.  How I got a Papa bear in glasses, tie and bowler hat out of that will require a bit more explaining. 

Panda Bubbles (Free) printable Valentine card

Valentines Day is almost here so we are scrambling in our house to get all the Valentine cards and boxes made.  I made these Panda Valentines for Mara's first grade class.  They get so much candy every year that I wanted a candy free Valentine this year. When I spotted these sweet little bubble wands at Target I knew they would be perfect for a candy free card.  I also knew that I had to make the card super cute in order to convince Mara to go candy free, because she is a candy-holic.  Which is why we went with pandas because pandas are awesome.

Back to School Free Chalkboard printable signs

It's hard to believe that summer is coming to a close.  We don't go back for two more weeks but we have already started getting ready for the big event.  My kids are sad of course and I am a little bit sad too.  I'll miss the late nights, late mornings, fireworks and the lazy beach days.  There's something so special about summer that makes you not ever want it to end.  However now that I'm a parent I can't deny that school starting gets me pretty excited too.  I miss the structured sleep schedules and the early morning wake ups and the quiet house during the day.  Oh how I miss the quiet house.  Sigh. 

So while I've been getting my kids ready for back to school I've also been making these back to school signs.  The first day of school should be an exciting event.  What better way to mark the occasion than with these chalkboard photo prop signs. There's Preschool through 8th grade all together in one pdf file so you can pick and choose the sign that's right for you.   I hope your last few days of summer are stress free and relaxed as can be. We hope to get a couple more lake days and a few more ice cream cones. If you use these signs for your kiddos I'd love for you to tag me on facebook , twitter or instagram.  

Happy Back to School !!!

4th of July Free printable 8x10" sign

It has been a busy summer for us with lots of work for Mommy and trips to the lake for the kids.  July seemed to sneak up on me all to fast. So with 4th of July just a few days away I managed to whip up this patriotic chalkboard print. What I love about this sign is the homey, rustic feeling it gives with the chalkboard background and scribble effects.  I can picture it framed on a mantle on hanging in a patriotic collage on the wall.  I just love rustic Americana art.  

I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July with lots of fun, family, yummy food and fireworks. 

Happy 4th of July!

Last Day of School (free) printable signs

Yay Schoooool's out for the summer!!!  I don't know who's more excited about no homework and sleeping late me or the kids (I think it's me).  Although my kids are pretty excited. They have been counting down the days for weeks.  I think they started somewhere around 21. So today was a big deal for all of us.  

The end of the year is always so hectic with graduations (from just about everything) and concerts and ceremonies and last minute field trips and class parties.  Whew I'm getting tired again just thinking about it. I've never had time to design an end of year picture sign with all the activities going on.  But this year I was determined to make it happen.  So determined that I whipped these up the morning of the last day of school. 

I've always wanted to document their first and last day of school with them smiling big holding a cute sign.  This year I finally did it and I'm so glad. My babies are growing up so fast.  Mara is my youngest and I can't believe that she just finished Kindergarten.  Marina is going into 5th grade next year.  That's one step closer to middle school.  It hurts my heart a little to say goodbye to all those wonderful memories and their sweet teachers every year.  

Free printable end of year signs

So if you'd like to say a sweet goodbye to preschool-8th grade, I've got you covered. You can download all of these signs here and just pick or choose the one you would like to print.  

I hope you have a wonderful end of school year with not too many tears and lots of hugs and smiles.   

Teacher Appreciation Editable Thank you tags

Yay! It's teacher appreciation week.  We love our teachers.  Every year they become such a big part of our lives and we try to show them how much we care every chance we get.  Teachers truly have one of the hardest jobs in the world.  They are the most patient, creative, kind, nurturing and determined people I have every met.  Trust me you have to be to keep my kids interested in learning. 

This week I hope you give a little something to the teachers in your life, to let them know how wonderful they are.  Here is the tag I whipped up for our sweet teachers and the Dahlia bulbs we sent in for flower day.  I made the "name" text editable so you can personalize the tags, just in case you'd like to use these for the teachers in your life.  These fit nicely on live flowers or any flower bulb box.  

Thank you teachers for helping our sweet children bloom and grow.

Paris, I love you free download

Paris, the city of love.  I've visited Paris twice and it never gets old.  It's one of those places that imprints on your heart and you love it forever. The sights, the sounds and feel of the city with the Eiffel tower rising majestically above the skyline.  I love Paris and would go back in a heartbeat, if anyone ever offered (hint, hint).  But until then this sketch will have to do.  Paris, je t'aime.

If you love Paris then feel free to download this copy of my original sketch.  

Je t'aime

Free printable Splashy Birthday Card

We still have one more week of school here and we can't wait for summer to begin.  So when Marina got invited to a friends pool party she jumped at the chance. Normally she likes to draw her own adorably cute cards that take her hours upon hours, but today we were a little pressed for time and she asked me to make a card for her.  Well how can I say no to that?  I mean that's what I do. Which is why one hour before we had to leave I sat down at the computer and Marina told me exactly what she wanted the card to say and how it should look.  Since it was a pool party it had to say "Splashy" Birthday.  Get it instead of Happy Birthday.  Then we went from there.  

I think it turned out super cute and most of all Marina was all smiles.  She's so creative and I love including her ideas in my designs.  

I haven't shared a freebie in awhile so I thought this would be nice for any summer birthday.  Since my sweet little girl came up with the idea how can I keep it to myself.  So please feel free to download and use these for your own personal use and share the splashy love.
