Free Printables | A Joyful Riot

Free Printable SUMMER FUN Party Pack!

I haven’t had enough parties lately. And I haven’t had enough to make party printables which is my all time favorite activity! Alright, I just haven’t had enough time for anything lately except my kitchen that I’ve been remodeling. I am so excited to share it all with you hopefully soon!

And even though it has taken away from some of my more favorite past times, like designing and partying, I am SO glad I’ve put almost all of my effort into that these last couple weeks because it desperately needed it. Now it’s almost done and the whole house feels like a different place! It so much more light, bright, clean and everything you need a kitchen to be so I couldn’t be happier that is where my focus has been and it can finally be done soon!

So to make up for not getting in enough of all my favorite things (even though I really am enjoying the remodel and learning tons of new skills) I threw together a quick party pack that is appropriate for all summer fetes and FREE!

I absolutely love bold patterns and I absolutely love summer and FUN so I combined all of those things to make a bunch of fun graphic elements that you can print off, cut out and put together real quick! Seriously, I printed and did all the assembly on these items in maybe 20 minutes.

The best part about party printables is that your party basically needs nothing else at all and yet you look so totally put together and decorated! I love that this pack could be used for birthdays, bbqs, block parties, showers, anything really! So if you’re looking to have some FUN this summer, download this pack and have it on reserve to whip out any time you may need :) The files are all at the bottom of the post, click the “read more” button to grab em!

DIY Custom Notebooks with 4 Free Designs

I am not sure I will ever tire of physical notebooks, despite my obsession with Evernote! I am just a sucker for pretty notebook or notepad to jot down thoughts or designs. And every year I end up buying Machelle at least one notebook as part of her birthday present. It is sort of a tradition – no present is complete without some treat, cute soap and a new notebook.

And although there are lots of good choices out there on the market it is always fun to customize your own notebook! This project is super simple and will cost you almost no money. And we have created 4 different designs for you to choose from!

Citrus Straw Umbrellas | Free Printable

So last week I was on vacation in Mexico and even though I came back to really quite freezing cold windy days here in Utah, there are some green leaves sprouting and lots of trees blossoming! This leads me to believe that Spring is in fact coming which then means that summer will eventually come too and I just could not be happier about this.

Of course, I don’t need the trees to tell me it’s going to happen, I do know it’s pretty inevitable, but you know seeing those little indications of life really do make the whole thing seem sooner and THANK GOODNESS! I never loved winter growing up, I’ve tried to reconcile myself to it in the last several years, but this year, for some unknown reason, my hate for it really came back with a vengeance. Look, I know it’s important, and beautiful, and after all, I am choosing to live here where it faithfully makes an appearance for at least five months every single year. But, that doesn’t mean it’s not painful every time I have to get into a below-freezing car, or slip on the ice, or look at my pale white skin and red nose in the mirror.

So, we’ve decided that whether or not the weather catches up any time super soon, AJR is done with winter and winter crafts and all things snow or cold-related (unless its a refreshing treat or drink) and we are diving head first into summery, bright, happy, colorful, warm crafts! I think we can all agree this is ok, right?

And to kick it off on a really bright and colorful, summery note, we made lemon, lime and orange fruit slice straw umbrellas that are free to you and a cinch to whip up! We’re big fans of paper straws, and adorning them with umbrellas (see these watermelon umbrellas and our donut umbrellas) and so this just seemed like the most natural thing to do, given the circumstances.

Free Printable Minimal Black & White Alphabet – 2 Ways

It’s always so fun to have an array of printable letters for any projects and home decor ideas you have! I find that I love to include our families initials within our decor. In fact I just realized today that Stella’s room has a decorative ‘S’ on literally every shelf in her built-in bookshelf (there’s five shelves….) which may be a little overkill…But I can tell you right now, there will be at least one more cus I haven’t printed one of these off for her yet and they match well in her room so I definitely will!

I have already included them in my bedroom, as see in our pillowcase post from Monday:

I’m really into the typographic decor look lately, especially when it has a really minimal feel, like these ones. It’s really just paying tribute to the fonts themselves rather than distracting with lots of other decorative elements. I just LOVE typography, don’t you? I remember when I was younger, like in high school, it was impossible to find free fonts so we never had ones we liked. In fact, when Malissa and I were the layout editors for our high school newspaper, we would create our own “fonts” in paint. And by fonts, I of course mean we just added fun little elements to the ones we already had. They were in no way actual fonts or even non-pixelated haha but they were fun! In reality though, I much prefer to just find what I already need online for free rather than make my own silly versions. And I just can’t believe how many we can find online these days!
