December desktop calendar

Wishing you a lovely December! Christmas is not that far, I'm really looking forward to get into the festive feeling! With this wallpaper I'm so daydreaming of snow, woods, reading fairy tales by the fireplace and listening to Christmas carols! Jut click at the top photo to get the full-size image!

Creative inspiration / Noel Shiveley

Artists so talented like Noel Shiveley make me want to be better at things I like but haven't tried out as much as I should. He's a 22 Year old letterer / designer and you should  follow his instagram!

I'm not really good at drawing but I keep telling myself I should put more time on calligraphy since I'm good at it, (blame it on current job and not having time for myself), and I've been thinking of buying a graphic tablet and try a lot to get better at it! Oh, and I'm constantly eyeing the classes in Skillshare, especially that one by the super-talented Molly Jacques!

July's desktop calendar

This month's calendar is pretty minimal! I don't know why I haven't used 100% white backgrounds before but it looks pretty fine! As usual, click on the above image and you'll get the full size one!

June desktop calendar

Hello there! Summer is officially here now, even if the temperature where you are hasn't risen as it has in Greece! During May I got questions about a calendar but it was a little late to do one so I skipped it until June. And there you are, one of the few times I made the calendar at the 1st of the month..!

(the floral pattern was made through a freebie I edited entirely to get this result, so please use with credit)

Roses & Coffee wallpaper

I only take photos with my phone until I can save to buy a proper camera, hence the low quality of the photo. But I loved the colors so much I wanted to make it into a wallpaper somehow! So, here you are, both in vertical version for your phone/tablet and horizontal for your pc! Click below to download!

Free chalkboard art print

Today I stumbled upon Graphic Burger, a website with free graphic resourses and I found so much great stuff!! Among these a chalkboard text psd and I wanted to make a text print but was really uninspired when it came to the quote, so if you have any ideas or text that you'd like written feel free to tell me so in the comments!

Besides printing that you could also use it as a wallpaper for your table or smartphone! To download just click on the first image and you'll get the full size!

Free calligraphy print!

I was playing around with a new pen, trying to fake nib calligraphy, and this one turned out pretty good so I thought why not scan it?! Since I have a little love for gold-foil letters lately, I made a print out of it and I give you both versions, with color background and transparent to print it however you like! Just click on the image to get the full size file!

April Desktop Calendar

I was too busy in the beginning of March and instead of making a calendar at the middle of the month I thought I should better wait for the next one, so here you are! I'm a little late again, even if I had the post ready on Draft since March..!

February desktop calendar

For February I went a little geometric..! You know the drill, click on the image and you'll get the full size!

New design work!

It's been a while since I posted some of my latest work, I usually just add them in my portfolio! All these months I've worked with many lovely girls but I didn't took the time to post about them all.


So this one here is what I did for Poppy & Ollie, a lovely new blog (that needs some followers for sure!), run by Isabella! I just love this font I used for the header, it's called Janda Stylish Script and it's free! (The navigation bar links will be added soon now!)



The second one for today is Influence, a fashion & lifestyle blog run by the sweetest Stephanie! I'm sure you can tell the colors and general style are exactly my type! I especially loved the header with the little watercolor flowers and the post divider, which is something I don't know why I don't use more frequently since it's really cute!

Recent design work!

This month has been rather busy (thank goodness)! The first blog design is for Katta Tubio's photography blog and the second for fashion+personal blog Harbour Master! I loved how the header images turned out in both blogs!

This one below is still on sample-mode because the lovely owner hasn't started blogging yet, but it's the latest wordpress blog I made in a lot of time so I wanted to share it with you! I especially loved the fixed navigation bar! View it here.

Latest design work!

Babykatta:

Babbykatta is a photography blog by Katarina Tubio, speciallizing on babies and kids! She wanted something minimal and beautiful so here we are! I also made the blog's logo and you can see below three versions of it! Check the whole blog here!

Gilded Butterflies:

This one I just loved how it came out! Gilded Butterflies is a personal blog ran by Valeria, and as you can see the vintage/dreamy feel is evident! I made the header using the Bookeyed Suzanne font, a dreamy background I found on tumblr, some cute hand-drawn social icons and that typewriter font (via Google Webfonts) I can't get enough of! Did you see the tiny skeleton key with the ribbon in the bottom?! ♥

New blog layouts!

First of is the layout I made for the blog of 'The Paraders' online vintage shop, owned by Rachael Hammon. It's a minimal design with a slight vintage touch in the sidebar font! I especially loved the header image links of the blog's categories! Visit the blog!



And second, the layout I made for the personal blog 'Bowie Bowie' (previously 'Battlecries & Champagne'), owned by Bonnie! This one is pretty minimal as well, with a quite wide main qolumn and a lovely typewriter font used in various places. Visit the blog here!

2013 Calendar printable!

Hey there!! I got some really nice freebies today - and lots of free time - and thought why not make a printable yearly calendar?! I played with various scrapbook/journal images and here's the result! I love the vintage journal feeling! You can download the pdf file here, print it and put it on your wall!

Lunar wallpaper

I found this high resolution moon image and an amazing new font to play with and I thought why not make a wallpaper?! I've had my old one for a long time! So here you are, I'm giving you the biggest size so that you can resize it to fit your screen! Click here to download!

Lovely Type | 02

I'm not usually fond of Sans Serifs but lately I've been more into minimal styles and Lane is one of the recent downloads that caught my eye straight away! This Lovely Type includes three formats: Regular, Upper Regular and Posh Regular, designed by Apostrophic Labs. Photo by 夏先生 via flickr.

Lovely Type | 01

I've been thinking of having a typefaces column for a while because I find so many lovely fonts I'd love to share with you (especially the free ones)! I know I've already made some font posts but let's take this one as a first!

This week's Lovely Type is the font family AW Conqueror. Usually in a font download, you get one serif/san-serif/etc family with various weights and styles but AW Conqueror includes five styles, Didot Light, Sans Light, Inline Regular, Slab Light and Carved (which I haven't included here because I downloaded it after I made the post!). You can get it for free on the above link!
