    2018 is here, and it brings with it a refreshing blank slate! You can use the free printable in this blog post to write down what you’d like to achieve this year, then display it in a prominent place. The more you see your goal sheet throughout the year, the more likely you are to…

    Free Flourished Printable Goal Sheet | The Postman's Knock

    I make a goal sheet around this time every single year. I find a prominent place for my goal sheet as soon as I finish it, and seeing it every day helps me to focus on meeting my goals! If you enjoy using this time of year to make goals, too, then I hope that you’ll enjoy the free flourished goal sheet offered in today’s blog post. You can scroll down for more information and a download link!

    A Little Bit of Background

    I offer a goal list printable almost every year, and I like to vary the theme! This year, I drew inspiration from vintage frames. First, I used a pencil to plan out a draft.

    Free Flourished Printable Goal Sheet | The Postman's Knock
    I start most of my projects with a pencil draft. I’m really loving my Blackwing pencils (which are also awesome for pencil calligraphy)!

    I then traced over my pencil lines with sumi ink.

    The Brause EF66 nib brings a lot of great stroke contrast to this piece.

    To finish up, I erased my pencil guidelines once the ink had dried. I then scanned the artwork into the computer and used the techniques outlined in the Digitizing Artwork and Calligraphy eCourse to make the piece into a PDF!

    How to Use This Goal Sheet

    First, print off a copy of the goal sheet, preferably on 32# laserjet paper (or 70-80 lb. drawing paper). You can find the free goal sheet download by clicking here.

    You can find this printable template by clicking here. There are two templates available — an unlined version (shown) and one with lines to guide your writing.

    Next, write in the year on the line next to “YEAR:” (near the top center of the frame). Optionally, you can use some watercolor to fill in the banner, which will add a touch of color to the goal sheet.

    I like applying some brown watercolor to the edges of the banner to add a pop of color! If you like things to be more colorful, you can add little dots of paint to the border, too.

    Now, use your writing utensil and the font style of choice to jot down your goals. If you’re stuck on coming up with goals, check out the suggestions in this blog post!

    Free Flourished Printable Goal Sheet | The Postman's Knock
    I used Janet Style calligraphy and walnut ink to write out my goals. Please feel free to use the writing style that you are most comfortable with (including your everyday handwriting)!

    Once you’ve written out your goals, use scissors to cut out around the frame. Try to follow the frame’s contours as you cut.

    Make sure you display your goal sheet in a spot that you see on a daily basis!

    Once your goal sheet is finished, put it in a prominent place! You can tape it on your wall, put it on a bulletin board, or use a magnet to put it on the refrigerator. The idea is to see it several times a day to serve as a constant reminder of what you want to achieve!

    What I Love About This Goal Sheet

    Many of the goal sheet printables that you’ll find online are computer generated. The effect is a generic, cold feel. Well — not this goal sheet! It was completely hand-drawn, and all of the flourishes make it fun to look at.

    Free Flourished Printable Goal Sheet | The Postman's Knock
    This intricate goal sheet was designed to catch your attention and keep you focused on what you want to achieve!

    There are four inspirational phrases peppered throughout the border of this goal sheet. You have to look close to see them because of all the flourishes! I like how they add a bit of encouragement to the piece.

    Can you spot the “dream big”?

    I hope that you find this goal sheet useful! This is such a wonderful time of year because it provides you with a bit of a blank slate. Take advantage of that, and think about what you can do to ensure that you’re exactly where you want to be at this time next year! With some creativity, confidence, and endurance, you can achieve every single thing on your list.

    Happy 2018 … you deserve the best!

    Warmly,

    Lindsey's Signature | The Postman's Knock

    Oh that is beautiful. I don’t usually make a goal sheet or write it down. This year might be an exception!

After I chose this music to accompany this reel, i After I chose this music to accompany this reel, it dawned on me: drawing a calligraphy medallion is like, well, Belle’s arc with the Beast. 

At first, it’s a bit of a weird situation. Strange shapes, questionable structure, possibly some growling (à la “YOU WILL JOIN ME FOR DINNER. That’s not a request!”) when the inevitable ink smudge happens. You keep thinking, “I’m not sure why I’m doing this ... should I hop on Felipe and gallop away?” 🐎

But something shifts as the medallion starts to come to life. And when you finish that last detail and pull back, the music swells. Light bursts from your paper like it did from Beast’s digits as he transformed into a stunningly beautiful prince. ✨ You’re practically in a ballroom celebrating, and, wait, did your furniture just turn into an adoring crowd that’s celebrating your fortitude and skill?

(And now you know how my mind works 🧠 ... I love a good metaphor, no matter how weak it may be!) 

To learn how to make a calligraphy medallion, just search for “calligraphy medallion” on the TPK site (link in bio). You’ll find both free Blog tutorials and detailed premium worksheets.

... I’ll show myself out now. 🙈

Happy Halloween! 👻 This year, I’m pretending Happy Halloween! 👻 This year, I’m pretending to be ... someone who writes calligraphy quickly! (No, just kidding — not about the video being sped up, but the choice of costume. I actually picked up a skeleton PJ set at Goodwill. 💀)

Even if you won’t be indulging in candy, remember to treat yourself this season, starting this weekend! The holiday season can be hectic, and it’s important to claim some relaxing time for yourself. Cheers to the “holidaze”! 🥂

My seven-year-old and I have officially entered th My seven-year-old and I have officially entered the @edward.gorey.house envelope art contest! 🎃 My design leans a bit more macabre, while my son’s is, well, gory. (Venus flytraps are apparently no joke.) Visit the TPK Blog to see my process — I love to start with a Procreate draft and take it from there. 

This is a great little contest, and, while it runs through December, it’s *especially* fun to work on this time of year. 👻 My kid and I both thoroughly enjoyed making our masterpieces! If you find yourself with some time in the next couple of months, make your own envelope ... there will be more than one winner! 🥇
