Digital Printable Kits for Journaling and Scrapbooking
Several sources describe the availability of free digital printable kits designed for junk journaling, scrapbooking, and craft projects. These kits typically include images, tags, and background papers that users can download and print at home.
Source [3] mentions a digital collection titled "Sunflowers and Roses," which was scheduled to launch on a Sunday. The source indicates that a free file is available for download by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking a download button. The terms of use stated in this source specify that the images can be used in handmade items that are sold or given away. However, the source mandates that users must be subscribers to specific YouTube channels to download the freebies. It explicitly prohibits sharing, copying, or reproducing the images.
Source [4] appears to be a review section or feedback page for a digital kit, likely related to a "Sea journal" or "Ocean Journal." While the specific product name is not fully distinct in the text, the comments praise the "clear and vibrant" images and ease of assembly. One comment specifically mentions completing a "Bees and Sunflowers journal." The feedback highlights the utility of the kits for combining with different themes and the quality of the images. The source does not provide a direct link to the freebie but suggests the existence of such products on a platform like Country Mouse Prints.
Source [6] contains multiple references to printable resources, including a "Free Sunflower Classroom Decor welcome sign banner." This resource is described as having "sunny yellow watercolor sunflower accents" and a "rustic country chic feel."

The source is a blog post where the author reflects on past stitching projects. It confirms that "Spring Bunny Love" is a freebie available from The Snowflower Diaries. The author mentions that tracking down posts for older pieces is difficult, implying that the freebie may have been released some time ago (referenced as stitched in 2013).
Source [5] provides information directly from The Snowflower Diaries blog. The author mentions releasing a "small free pattern for the season" and directs users to a "LINKTREE page" containing a Google Drive link to download this pattern along with other free patterns. The author also mentions establishing a new cross-stitching shop called "Lucky Butterfly Stitchery" with a friend, which has released stitch-alongs like "Spooky Love." However, the specific free pattern mentioned is accessible via the Google Drive link provided in the Linktree.
