New Pattern Coloring Book for Valentine's Day

It's official. I have three coloring books completed and they are all part of a series, Patterns to Relax to. The latest one is just in time for Valentine's Day! Color Me Easy Valentine's Coloring Book: Patterns to Relax to Book Three is full of 50 patterns to color all with hearts. 

This book took a little longer to create because I was much more selective on creating the hearts just right in the repetitive designs. I created each one using Repper using images with bold shapes and lines that would, with the correct manipulation, form the hearts. None of the images I used had hearts. I will save that for my next book but that will be for next year. 

Kids and adults alike will enjoy coloring these for Valentine's Day and even using the finished coloring to create:

• decorations

• sweet Valentine's cards

• wrapping small gifts

The first two non-holiday pattern books in the series are: 

• Color Me Easy Coloring Book: Patterns to Relax To Book 1 includes 50 designs

• Color Me Easy Coloring Book: Patterns to Relax To Book 2 includes 74 designs

Are you interested in making patterns of your own? Or do you get enjoyment from coloring designs already made?

Christmas Movie Journal

Making a Christmas Movie Journal for KDP

I have been wanting to create and sell journals and other low content books for awhile. So, when my husband was complaining about remembering which Hallmark movies he has watched I came up with this idea. Yes, you read that right, my husband is an avid Christmas Hallmark movie viewer. In fact, last year for Christmas I got him all Hallmark movie gifts: mug, blanket, and sweatshirt. Until early January he will only watch Christmas movies. They don't ALL have to be on Hallmark but they do have to be Christmas. And, now he can document them in this journal and stop asking me if he has seen it (fun fact: I don't watch all of them, a lot of them, but not all of them). 

For the inside of the journal I created different sections for each page:

Title

Year released

Date watched

On what network or streaming service

Your rating on a 5 star scale

Your recommendation

Main characters

A recap

Your thoughts

Best and worst parts

 The cover was created with Canva including the artwork with Canva's AI Magic Media tool. Note: You do have to reveal if you use any AI items for your KDP works. In this case, it is the holiday fireplace done in watercolor style. I wanted something pretty with a warm and cozy feeling just like you get watching a feel good movie. What do you think? Have you made your own journals? I made this for personal use and just decided to see if anyone else would like it too.
