Hello and hold onto your butts! We’re in the homestretch of 2020 and holiday anticipation is in full force. I always love coming up with new themed ideas for the free wallpaper patterns and the December one can be especially challenging when I don’t wanna go for a full Christmas idea. But with this green + blush + cherry color palette, I have to say I’m feeling pretty jolly.

I woke up this morning and realized it was the first of a new month and I hadn’t even thought about creating the wallpaper design. This is the first time that’s happened in the last almost 8 years and it feels both liberating and terrifying to know that no one is here to hold me accountable but myself. And then when I sat down to work on it, my computer decided to refuse to work and I spent 3 hours with Apple support trying to figure it out. Because the universe thinks it’s funny to mess with us.

So here’s the design for the free wallpaper for November, 100% created while talking to the most lovely human I could have asked for to give me bad new about my computer (hi Tyler if you’re seeing this!). Slap this baby on all your digital screens to brighten up your day — we all need it! Please share and enjoy!

I wanted to create an artsy wallpaper design this month inspired by desert colors. Especially brown/tan so that I can highlight some cool brands on Instagram that I haven’t been able to with my monthly color themes yet. Snag this friendly, funky, free digital wallpaper using the links below to warm up all your screens.

Hello! It’s almost fall and we’re still here! I call that a win in my book. July and August have been real wild for me, so I’m looking forward to slowing down hopefully a bit as the weather cools down and as I book out the rest of the year (I’m booking for November already…what?!!). I was getting ready to work on the free wallpaper design for September and my biz bestie suggested leaves, but then took it back thinking it was too basic or cliche. Little did she know that leaves are never too basic for Six Leaf Design!

So let me present to you a pretty purple leaf pattern perfect for gritting your teeth as we all white knuckle our way through the season. Freshen up all your digital devices with this pattern by downloading below and please share and enjoy!

Hello fellow humans! I’m happy to announce that I’ve made it through July hanging on by a thread. It’s been a crazy month filled with 90+ degree days, lots of toddler chasing, and trying to keep on top of client work while maintaining some semblance of sanity. But let’s get to the reason you’re here.

Hello and happy July! I hope everyone’s been hanging in there through this summer. It looks much different than I’m sure we all imagined. For me it’s been all about backyard playtime, warm evening walks, and dinners on patios. (The patio is our own and we’re making the best use out of it since we moved in 7 years ago.) The summer is already flying by. Probably because living through what feels like a never-ending pandemic makes time move in strange ways!

Hey hey hey! Summer is officially here along with 90 degree days, afternoon thunderstorms, and more watermelon than a small family could possible eat before it goes bad. My time has been limited for work lately (read more below for an update) and client projects are always my priority. So the free June digital wallpaper was the result of an instagram poll to determine the color of the month — it’s coral and I’m obsessed with it! — and a quick + dirty exploration of texture on my iPad. And I’m surprisingly pleased with how it turned out!

Happy May! How you guys hanging in there? I’m honestly having the hardest time writing this right now because I have no idea what to say. We’ve been quarantined and staying home for the last 6+ weeks now and it doesn’t feel like the end is anywhere in sight. So I just keep reminding myself that this won’t be forever, even if it seems like it. And maybe you can tell yourself that, too, if it helps you keep going.

Hellooooo and happy April! Weird times are upon us, friends. Weird times indeed. I feel like I’ve had to start every email for the past few weeks with “hope you’re sane and healthy!” and all my clients seem to be handling things differently. Some are hyper-productive and some have fallen off the face of the earth leaving me to assume they’re obviously living that bubble boy life 🤷‍♀️

Hello March! It’s good to see you because that means we’re on our way to spring and that’s what I’m really looking forward to — sorry, Winter. The free wallpaper design for March came out of 1) laziness because we’re heading to Arizona this week and I just realized that it’ll be March by the time I’m back in the office, and 2) because my kid is learning to scribble and that’s such a fun development! If I’m being honest, he mostly eats the crayons instead of using them, but that’s beside the point.

We finally made it through January, friends! It was one heckuva long month but here we are on the other side and I already feel better. January is a tough one for me trying to get back into the swing of things after the craziness of all the holidays and the bleakness of the season. So I’m glad to have made it through and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.

I really like the concept of choosing a word for the new year to focus on what’s important. So for 2020 I’ve chosen the word realign. My goals these days are more about creating the life + feelings that I want to experience rather than trying to attain something. Over the last year I’ve had to redefine what makes me successful, motivated and essentially who I am as a person. And I’m so excited to keep working on it this year. So the free wallpaper for January is a bit of a celebration and I hope it brings some fun into your life!

Happy December + last month of the decade! I can remember my dad hanging up our Christmas lights every year outside our house. My mom loved the sleek looking strings of all white lights but dad always liked those huge, colorful lights that were real popular in the 80s. I’m with you, Dad! And that’s what the inspiration for this month’s FREE digital wallpaper design is all about.

Hello and happy November! The snow is falling and the Christmas decorations have been out for a full month already. The free wallpaper this month started as a meditative sort of exercise in creating a pattern, but then I liked it enough to share with you all!

Hello all you happy people! September marks 6 years that I’ve been doing the free digital wallpaper for Six Leaf Design and sometimes I hate it because it’s a hassle and time consuming, but most of the time I love it when it’s done because it literally doesn’t matter how it comes out and I’ve had so many people tell me that they love it. So no worries, I plan to continue and this month I’ve got a super fun design for you that I’ve poetically named “Blobby Blobs.” Please share and enjoy!
