Free Wallpaper for December 2020
Hello and hold onto your butts! We’re in the homestretch of 2020 and holiday anticipation is in full force. I always love coming up with new themed ideas for the free wallpaper patterns and the December one can be especially challenging when I don’t wanna go for a full Christmas idea. But with this green + blush + cherry color palette, I have to say I’m feeling pretty jolly.
Free Wallpaper for September 2020
Hello! It’s almost fall and we’re still here! I call that a win in my book. July and August have been real wild for me, so I’m looking forward to slowing down hopefully a bit as the weather cools down and as I book out the rest of the year (I’m booking for November already…what?!!). I was getting ready to work on the free wallpaper design for September and my biz bestie suggested leaves, but then took it back thinking it was too basic or cliche. Little did she know that leaves are never too basic for Six Leaf Design!
So let me present to you a pretty purple leaf pattern perfect for gritting your teeth as we all white knuckle our way through the season. Freshen up all your digital devices with this pattern by downloading below and please share and enjoy!
Free Wallpaper for July 2020
Hello and happy July! I hope everyone’s been hanging in there through this summer. It looks much different than I’m sure we all imagined. For me it’s been all about backyard playtime, warm evening walks, and dinners on patios. (The patio is our own and we’re making the best use out of it since we moved in 7 years ago.) The summer is already flying by. Probably because living through what feels like a never-ending pandemic makes time move in strange ways!
Free Wallpaper for January 2020
I really like the concept of choosing a word for the new year to focus on what’s important. So for 2020 I’ve chosen the word realign. My goals these days are more about creating the life + feelings that I want to experience rather than trying to attain something. Over the last year I’ve had to redefine what makes me successful, motivated and essentially who I am as a person. And I’m so excited to keep working on it this year. So the free wallpaper for January is a bit of a celebration and I hope it brings some fun into your life!

Happy New Year, friends! I just spent the last two weeks relaxing, traveling and updating my portfolio. And let me tell you, it’s been so refreshing.

Free Wallpaper for December 2018
Hello hello! Here I am on the last day of November scrambling to put together the free December wallpaper. To be perfectly honest with you, I think I’ve put it off so long because I’m just not really in the Christmas spirit this year. It’s been a busy + stressful year and I’m just ready for a break at this point. But I’m taking off 2 weeks over the holidays to reset and recharge. And in the meantime, I’m still here making the monthly wallpaper because I’d never leave you hanging like that.

I'm keeping my eye out for those roadside fruit stands so I can get a case or two of those Palisade peaches and taste the last shreds of summer in those juicy buggers.
Free Wallpaper for July 2018
Hey guys! July's here and it's already been one heck of a summer! I've been super duper busy with work projects, but this last week or so I've had a little break which has been amazing.
