No Fear In Love (Free Printables + iPhone Wallpapers)

You guys. There is a big shift happening. I'm in the middle of a huge redesign of my blog and website to further focus my web presence on exactly what Lesley Myrick Art Design is all about, and what I can do for you. My current "blog as a website" is expanding to become a full website with a blog component. This is a change that I wish I'd been aware enough to have made long ago. For years I've been struggling with the pressure to always have fresh content on my blog for new viewers to land on, which has resulted in hundreds of quick, easy posts that don't have a lot of substance.
And you know what? That's not a good use of my time, or yours. You deserve good stuff! And that's what I'm going to give you from now on. Because I've realized...
I'm not a "blogger". I'm an artist and designer who has a blog.
There's an important distinction there: the blog is not the end goal; it's the means to an end. If you're someone who is into art, design, and creativity, you're in the right place. I want this blog to be a space for you. I want you to get value from being here - whether that's through learning a new art technique, being inspired to redecorate your home, or getting free stuff (more on that in a minute!).
So changes are coming. Good changes. Changes like making space for a new design and new focus. Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that I've trimmed a lot of extraneous content from the blog sidebar, and also that a lot of posts have gone missing. I have literally unpublished hundreds of posts. Posts that have felt like "filler" content. Posts that don't bring real value. Posts that were shared for the sake of sharing, not for the sake of sharing something awesome. My hope is that if you scroll through this blog, all of what you read will be worthy of your time.
To say thank you for reading, and thank you for just being rad, I've made some free stuff for you! Below are links to two 8x10 printable collages (perfect for framing) and two iPhone wallpapers. Everything is free for personal use. (Shoutout to Madewell, whose catalog pages became the background images for these pieces.) The collage diptych above features one of my favorite bible verses from 1 John 4:18: "There is no fear in love, because perfect love casts out fear".
8x10 printables: Download "There is no fear in love" 8x10 printable here. Download "Because perfect love casts out fear" 8x10 printable here.
iPhone wallpapers: These are sized for the iPhone 6, but will scale for any iPhone. Download "There is no fear in love" iPhone wallpaper here. Download "Because perfect love casts out fear" iPhone wallpaper here.
Here's to letting go of the fear and living from a place of love. I'm so excited to launch my brand new website and blog. Stay tuned!
