WHAT IS FREE HERE?

You’ll notice on the blog there’s usually two types of free downloads I’ll post.  The download for that day will always  fall under one of two categories, commercial use ok without the license OR you need the unlimited commercial use license.  You can find that license, it’s terms of use and how to purchase it HERE.

HOW DO I KNOW HOW I CAN USE EACH ITEM?

Above each and every single download here on the site I conveniently list the terms of use.  It will say you can use it however you want OR it will say you need the commercial use license.

HOW CAN I USE THE COMMERCIAL USE ITEMS THAT DON’T REQUIRE THE LICENSE?

My downloads that are free to use commercially without the license can be used in several ways…you can use them on sites like cafepress or zazzle to create print-on-demand items you sell, use them in digital scrapbook kits you sell, use in sublimation, etc.  You CAN NOT claim them as your own (saying for example, YOU created this set of brushes and are sharing them or selling them), you CAN NOT offer the exact freebie re-branded under your own name, or just repackage my free downloads and re-sell them. Such as taking a free word strip quote printable sheet and re-selling it on Etsy.  I’m tired of reporting my own free printables being put up on Etsy for sale by other people.  I put the time into creating these items to give away for free and they are not to be  resold by someone else.

WHAT IF I JUST WANT STUFF TO USE IN MY OWN PERSONAL DESIGNS?

Basically, every single download posted here on the blog is a free to download item you can use in any of your personal digital designs.  Personal means you aren’t selling or making money off of any of the elements you have downloaded from my site, you’re designing something to give away to a friend or family member, etc.  So anything that requires the license for commercial is still available to you to use personally.

Below you’ll find some helpful links…I do include these with all of the current downloads here on the site as a txt file, but wanted to keep them up here on the blog just in case.

I am not affiliated with these links in any way, but they will give you a good start to

will also help you find more information-

Some of my freebies here on the blog will say for you to click the image once, it will load full size, then right click and save.  Sometimes the images don’t work that way and you may have to right click the image, choose ‘open image in new tab’ for it to load full size.
