Inspiring you to explore, create, and connect with the Midwest
Category: Creative and Design
The Creative & Design category brings together photography, handcrafted projects, printable artwork, and thoughtfully made paper goods inspired by land and season. From vintage rural imagery and nature photography to junk journal ephemera, scrapbook designs, and home printables, this space highlights the art of making.
Here you’ll find creative work rooted in Midwest landscapes, rustic textures, and seasonal rhythms. Some posts feature finished artwork and designs available for purchase, while others share simple tutorials and printable resources for your own creative projects.
This category reflects the creative expression of nature — where observation becomes photography, and inspiration turns into something tangible for home, memory-keeping, and everyday life.
