Hey hey hey! Summer is officially here along with 90 degree days, afternoon thunderstorms, and more watermelon than a small family could possible eat before it goes bad. My time has been limited for work lately (read more below for an update) and client projects are always my priority. So the free June digital wallpaper was the result of an instagram poll to determine the color of the month — it’s coral and I’m obsessed with it! — and a quick + dirty exploration of texture on my iPad. And I’m surprisingly pleased with how it turned out!

Happy May! How you guys hanging in there? I’m honestly having the hardest time writing this right now because I have no idea what to say. We’ve been quarantined and staying home for the last 6+ weeks now and it doesn’t feel like the end is anywhere in sight. So I just keep reminding myself that this won’t be forever, even if it seems like it. And maybe you can tell yourself that, too, if it helps you keep going.

Hellooooo and happy April! Weird times are upon us, friends. Weird times indeed. I feel like I’ve had to start every email for the past few weeks with “hope you’re sane and healthy!” and all my clients seem to be handling things differently. Some are hyper-productive and some have fallen off the face of the earth leaving me to assume they’re obviously living that bubble boy life 🤷‍♀️

Hello March! It’s good to see you because that means we’re on our way to spring and that’s what I’m really looking forward to — sorry, Winter. The free wallpaper design for March came out of 1) laziness because we’re heading to Arizona this week and I just realized that it’ll be March by the time I’m back in the office, and 2) because my kid is learning to scribble and that’s such a fun development! If I’m being honest, he mostly eats the crayons instead of using them, but that’s beside the point.

We finally made it through January, friends! It was one heckuva long month but here we are on the other side and I already feel better. January is a tough one for me trying to get back into the swing of things after the craziness of all the holidays and the bleakness of the season. So I’m glad to have made it through and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.

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!

Someone explain to me how 2000 can be 20 years ago? But also, the 80’s were 20 years ago? Actually, that does make sense because I literally do not feel like the same person I did 10 years ago. I thought about doing some sort of reflection post about the last decade, but it ended up being more of a letter to my younger self and I’m okay with that. Read below for the 10 things I’d tell my 10-years younger self + some fun throwback pics.

Happy December + last month of the decade! I can remember my dad hanging up our Christmas lights every year outside our house. My mom loved the sleek looking strings of all white lights but dad always liked those huge, colorful lights that were real popular in the 80s. I’m with you, Dad! And that’s what the inspiration for this month’s FREE digital wallpaper design is all about.

Hello all you happy people! September marks 6 years that I’ve been doing the free digital wallpaper for Six Leaf Design and sometimes I hate it because it’s a hassle and time consuming, but most of the time I love it when it’s done because it literally doesn’t matter how it comes out and I’ve had so many people tell me that they love it. So no worries, I plan to continue and this month I’ve got a super fun design for you that I’ve poetically named “Blobby Blobs.” Please share and enjoy!

Hello and happy February! I’m switching things up a bit with the monthly wallpaper post format. So first things first, may I introduce you to the FREE wallpaper design for February? This one was so fun to create and really therapeutic to draw all the little pattern elements while sitting in the coffee shop where I sometimes work. My future sis-in-law said it gives her major Saved By The Bell vibes and I take that as the highest of compliments. I always love doing a less traditional Valentine’s theme that isn’t just pink or purple hearts. Go ahead and slap this snazzy design on all your digital devices and then click read more for a little something different in this month’s post.

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. I’m all charged up for 2019 + excited about my business and what’s in store. Last year I got to work with some of the best, most gracious clients. I found a great flow + process for my packages and feel like I’ve really hit a groove with freelancing finally. Aaaaaand I finally…

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.
