Vacation Travel Stationery Downloads
Author: Wes | Filed under: FREE Stationery Wednesday Jul 23,2008
Kathy just finished loading the new FREE digital travel and vacation stationery downloads for you.
These ones have a boating or cruise theme to them.
You’ll find that they are in PDF, MS Word template format and as a simple .JGP image that you can use to create your own stationeries and/or digital computer scrapbook page backgrounds with.
We’ll be working on the Lion, Tiger, Cougar and BIG CAT stationery and scrapbook page backgrounds later today. We’ll see if we can get them posted for you before the weekend.
Hope you got a chance to see the BIG CAT photos we posted as an update to the Lion Loose Near Our Home article. Kathy had a great birthday and totally loved being around the tigers, cougars, leapards, lions and other exotic animals that they had at the preserve.
Have a great journaling day…
Kathy and Wes
P.S. Here’s the link to the Travel Stationery Section for you: Travel Stationery Downloads The new stationeries are on Travel Page 2.

Lion Loose Near Our Home!
Author: Wes | Filed under: FREE Stationery, Site Information Sunday Jul 13,2008Hi Stationery and Scrapbook Friend,
We had quite the scare yesterday and most of today around here. Someone reported seeing a real lion just a few minutes from our house and got a blurry photo of it.
We had the police, the zoo and animal control along with lots of guns and helicopters swarming the area until late this afternoon when the finally called off the search.
As it turns out, we have a wild animal preserve just a few miles east of our house that we didn’t even know was there… it’s pretty spread out here east of Colorado Springs.
The good news is that after analyzing the image and enhancing it as much as they could, it turned out to most likely be a large dog. The wild life preserve counted all their cats 4 times just to be sure, but none of them were missing.
So, the only big cats we had turned out to be the ones we have in our digital scrapbook Animals category on PrincessCrafts.com.
Now we can go back to walking in the afternoons again…
Before you go and since I don’t want to send out another message when I can combine them all…

Kids Summer Camp Stationery Kit
Author: kwaddell | Filed under: Training Thursday Apr 10,2008Author: Wes Waddell
Here’s a great idea for your kids heading off to camp this summer. How about sending them on their way with their own colorful personalized digital stationery kit and a book of stamps? Now it’s easy for them to write you and all their friends.
How can digital stationery help? Easy… you create the designs or use one from any “Free Stationery” download website, you customize the design with their name and address and then simply print the blank pages on your printer. You can even create a supply of matching envelopes with matching designs.
How cool is that?
The best part is that it’s only pennies a page and no one there will have anything like it. You might even send along a few totally blank pages with no name or address so that they can share with their cabin or bunk mates.
Here’s the complete package. Before it’s time to head for summer camp, help each of your children choose a free stationery design from one of the computer stationery websites or if you are good with your computer… help them design their own. Either way, make sure to put their name and address on the stationery (kind of like a business letter does) so that if it gets missplaced it can find it’s way back home easily.
If you want, you can also custom design envelopes to match. No matter what, make sure you preaddress the envelopes with your home address and a couple with addresses from any freinds or family they want to write to while they are gone. That way, you know that they won’t forget an address or make a typo that sends it to the wrong address.
Now, simply pack it all away in a sturdy zip-lock bag with a couple of pens or pencils, and first-class postage stamps. If you followed the suggestions above to address the envelopes in advance, then there’s no need for an address book here that could get lost.
If you happen to drive your child to summer camp, find the camp store while you are there and let your children choose a few post cards of the camp to go with their digital stationery prints; that way they’ll be more likely to write a quick note to relatives and friends. Once the summer is over, any left over stationery can be given to new friends along with their eMail address, so they can keep in touch once they return home.
Encourage (not force) your kids to write to you at least a couple of times a week while at camp. Try and get them to fill you in on the weeks activities and new friends. DON”T throw those letters away after you read them! Save the letters in a bundle or even better yet, add them to a scrapbook with photos and brochure pieces. Then, you can give them to your children when they reach adulthood.
Digital cameras and memory cards are so cheap these days and can capture things that just can’t be put into words. Digital scrapbooks can also be made into real hardbound books that can be treasured for generations to come. The perfect combination to go with the digital stationery, digital camera and digital photos.
By making it easy for your kids to communicate with family and friends while away at summer camp, you also make the separation easier and the child less likely to get a case of the home sick blues. It also makes it easier on mom knowing that their child is safe, having a great time, but is thinking of her often.

FREE Printable Stationery
Author: Wes | Filed under: FREE Stationery, Training Sunday Mar 9,2008Title: FREE Printable Stationery
Author: Wes Waddell
Article:
FREE Printable and/or downloadable Stationery is nothing more than easy to use predesigned and formatted digital stationery that is readily available at no cost online. With just a little bit of how-to information and training, also provided on the best free-stationery sites, you are able to open or create your stationery right in your favorite word processor software. If you don’t happen to use eMail or word processing software, you can also simply use the downloadable designs (usually in PDF form) for printing through your home printer. That way, you can simply hand write your letters as if the stationery was the kind purchased at a retail or stationery store… it’s just a lot less expensive when you print it yourself.
FREE Digital Stationery is a quick simple solution to your custom stationery needs. All you need is a computer, eMail or wordprocessing software and a printer, preferably colored. The printer is optional if you will be sending your custom stationery letter by eMail or publishing it online.
A diverse range of free Printable Stationery is available with a quick search online. That includes photo calendars, letterheads, envelopes, greeting cards, wedding cards, stickers, bookmarks, labels, shopping list, recipe cards, computer scrapbook templates and even small gift-wrapping paper. There is even a special Printable Free-Stationery for children, which is based on themes like animals, birds, flower, nature, toys and cartoons. Best of all, there is no limit to the number of sheets you can download and print and you are never out of the custom stationery page you need since you are creating it yourself.
Custom Printable Stationery is really easy to create and print. Typically most any word processing, eMail and digital scrapbook software will work. Some of these programs are even available as a free downloads, so if you do not have the right software already on your computer, you can easily procure it without much hassle.
I do need to point out that some of the websites out there are for Printable Stationery only. This type of custom digital stationery is designed to be printed as a blank page on a specific paper size only. Sometimes you even must use their propriatary online software. This is fine if you are planning on hand writing your letter or card and always have online acccess to their website, but is of no use to those that wish to publish a newsletter or use the special fonts on your computer to write your letters and cards.
If you must, you can print it, then stick it back in your printer and use your word processor to print over top the page again, but that takes extra time and effort! My recommendation is to use the web sites that offer your custom stationery in multiple formats for download to your computer. That way you can use the free-stationery designs any way you choose. Again, the better sites will have clear instructions on how to use and print their products. The best ones will allow for these custom stationery files to be downloaded and will provide premade templates for the most common word processors as well.
By and large, there is a copyright and terms of use agreement posted on the website for you to comply with. Most will be for personal use only, but some will allow for commercial use with special permission. If you are not sure, just ask the owner.
To sum it all up…
There are a large number of sites on the Internet that are offering professional looking, beautifully designed, free custom downloadable and Printable digital stationery. On the other hand, some of the websites will charge you for using their stationery or for the add-on custom envelopes or address labels. In case you do not find the free stationery you like (doubtful that that will happen..) on the Internet, you can always go for paid designs. But, if you do need a totally custom design made for a special event or occasion, there are quite a number of designers and sites on the Internet who are more than happy to create the Printable Stationery of your dreams!
One last thought…
It’s not as hard as it sometimes looks to learn to use your own custom digital stationeries. The little bit of time that it takes to learn how to create your own one-of-a-kind letters, cards, scrapbook pages and even personal invitations will pay off in not only saved money, but in respect and lots of positive attention from family, friends and guests when they dote over your creativity and personal touches.
