Gingham Dress Your Tech Wallpapers

So if you follow me on Twitter and Instagram you've probably noticed that I am posting a lot more lately... that's because I finally got a new phone! I've had an old and slow iPhone for the last couple of years. I'm talking about so slow that I refused to get online with it. It was really just a phone I would text with.

Now that I have a new phone I've been a little tweet and photo happy and I've also decided to create some cute new wallpapers for it! For these Dress your tech wallpapers I decided on coral and navy (I'm obsessed with the color combo!) and gingham since it's perfect for summer! When you download the dress your tech wallpapers you will get wallpapers for you computer, iPad, iPhone, and Facebook Cover photo.

Printable Monogram Bookmarks

I ordered a bunch of books from Amazon a few weeks ago and most of them have to do with blogging and being a creative enteprenuer. I am extremely passionate about design and really enjoy reading about how to continue building my design business. I can't tell you if the books are any good yet but I'll be sure to review them for you once I am done!

Anywho, as I've started reading the books, I've used everything from recipts to post it notes as bookmarks. I've had my fair share of actual bookmarks but somehow I always end up losing them. So I put my creative problem solving brain to work and came up with printable monogram bookmarks! I feel so silly that I hadn't thought of this sooner! With printable bookmarks I can print out a ton and have them handy for whenever they are needed. Losing them won't matter anymore because I can always print out more!

I create a set of bookmarks perfect for spring and summer reading. I call them Fold Over Bookmarks. I don't know if there's a better name for them, but to me it makes since since you fold over the top part to wrap over the page you want to mark!

Materials
1) Bookmark PDF
2) Adobe Reader (This will let you change the monogram to your own)
3) White Card Stock
4) Printer
5) Scissors

Instructions
1) Download the Bookmark PDF
2) Open the PDF in Adobe Reader

4) Print the bookmarks on White Card Stock
5) Cut the bookmarks out
6) Fold the bookmarks at the dashed line
7) Admire your adorable monogram bookmarks and get reading!

Do you have a summer reading list?

Preppy Printable Binder Covers

With winter break behind most of us (at least for those of us who were lucky enough to have one!) it's time for us to go back to school, return to work, or follow through with our organization plans for the new year. For me it's organizing. I have various projects that I am working on, specifically for my 25 before 25 goals, and I want to keep them all in one place.

I bought a plain white binder with clear sleeves and knew I wanted to create something fun and colorful to decorate it. Of course I opted for a Lilly Pulitzer print and my monogram! So I set up my document in Adobe InDesign and came up with 7 binder covers, yes I know I went a little overboard but I couldn't decide which print I wanted to use! 

Now you are probably wondering how this could be of any use to you and no it's not another tutorial of how you can make your own, instead I decided to make them completely customizable and all you have to do is download them and change the monogram to your own. Simple! Note, make sure your binder is big enough to hold your contents by checking the ring capacity.


How to Customize:

1. Click here to Download the PDF
2. Open file in Adobe Reader. (Get the latest version of Adobe Reader)
3. Select the existing monogram and delete
4. Fil in your own monogram (Learn about Monogram Etiquette)
1. First Initial = lowercase letter
2. Last Initial = uppercase letter 
3. Middle Initial = lowercase letter
5. Print your preppy binder covers on white card stock 
6. Admire your new lovely binder covers! Binders never looked this good!
