It happened on a random day. It was the early 2000s and my dad was playing his radio as usual. Just as I was approaching him, the speakers blasted Teardrops on My Guitar and we both looked at each other and mouthed "ang ganda" (it's beautiful) as we didn't want to interrupt the song. We didn't have access to cable tv or the internet back then and I had no idea who was singing just that I would always look forward to hearing her on the radio. That's how this debut Swiftie was born and the rest is history. Seriously, I could go on but it'll take an entire day and I don't want this to end up like a novel! *laughs* Fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later, I've been trying to get tickets to the Taylor Swift: Eras Tour but I didn't survive the great war for any of the 2023 and 2024 stops. I designed some free printable chip bag templates as packaging for cookies that I was hoping to bake for fellow Swifties (ifykyk) or I could fill them with stationery that I designed. That was the idea. I didn't get the tickets and I was about to shelf this but I figured, why not share it? They could be fun for some Taylor Swift-themed parties!

Free Printable Chip Bags: Tomorrow x Together (TXT Act: Sweet Mirage)
Concerts are back and you know what else is fun aside from the actual shows? The fan community! The freebies, giveaways, trading, games, and activities have become such a fun way to interact and bond with fellow fans that it has become a tradition amongst concert goers. Last year, we gave away TXT Moabong sticker sheets and keychains for the Act: Lovesick in Manila. For Act: Sweet Mirage this year, I thought I'd make something that all MOAs can use for their Tomorrow x Together freebies so I created these free printable chip bag templates.
Free Printable Stickers: Pastel Journal and Planner Labels
Free printable stickers anyone? I was initially playing with an old project's file and came across these unused shapes and elements. I figured that it would be best to put them to good use while I continue to practice during my break. Not to sound like a workaholic there. I just wanted to play and somehow make art that really has no purpose (at first). Just because and see if something comes out of it. Then I remembered this friend that I made through the internet many years ago (blogging at first and then eventually we found ourselves sharing BTS and Taylor Swift memes in our DMs). She has these planner and journal spreads and I thought it would be cool to make stickers for them. Of course they had to be pastel printable stickers. An ode to my teenage color palette.
