NEW Chalkboard art printables at Rhonna Designs

You asked for it- you got it! Introducing my Halloween & Autumn Chalkboard Art printables! We had so many requests for this, it was fun to do! 

Each design is hand lettered & digitized so YOU can simply print them out! They come in 8x10 300 dpi & I adore these printed out on matte photo card stock for a rich, velvety look! soooo scrumptious! 

Frame them, put them on clipboards, print them out at a smaller size to create little cards, stickers, vignettes...the list goes on! 

Also, IF you want to print out larger, since they are in 300 dpi, you can run on over to your local Staples, or online, & go to their Engineer prints HERE. The look is different...it's not as black...not velvelty, but a 'blue print' look --industrial, grunged...you get the picture! But, you CAN get them larger! Also....my fave for the BEST quality is, of course, Persnickety Prints! You can get enlargements there! LOVE a different look of the chalkboard art on the metallic papers! so cool!

Each of these designs are also offered to you tech savvy creatives that like to change up the colors by stamping them w/ digital brushes/stamps! Offered in the same Halloween & Autumn designs. AND there's a plain black chalkboard background that's in the kits as well. So, something for everyone!

enjoy & Happy October!

Tracey Clark & Rhonna Designs App= uplifting & inspiring messages

LOVE this idea that the amazing Tracey Clark  shared on her blog and Babble!

Tracey is a gifted & talented photographer, writer & blogger.  She's so articulate & I invite you to run over to her blog, books & site to be uplifted & inspired!

Seriously...these messages will just make someone's day! a family member, a friend....I'm involved in a 60 Day CHALLENGE: BODY+MIND+SPIRIT  right now w/ a team & our Random Act of Kindness this week is to write or print out 5 uplifting and inspiring quotes to put around town to brighten someone's day! The great thing about these Rhonna Designs is that you can use them on your iPhone & print out OR you can purchase the high resolution kits for use in cutting machines, as vector fonts & the PS brushes are so great, too! So many things to create to empower others!  I'm inspired to do what Tracey did! THANKS, Tracey...for being uplifting and inspiRing!

Rhonna Design is Apple's App of the Week!

When Apple contacted us to be their featured App of the Week I think I might have screamed a bit! We are so excited and honored to be THE app of the week in the App Store! 

Post by App Store.

So, for a limited time...you can get the app for FREEEE! I know, crazy, right? I mean...it's already such a great deal for $1.99, but w/ the App of the Week, Apple offers it to you for free! So, if you were on the fence about it...run on over to get the Rhonna Designs App for free! 

And, since it's free...we are up on the FREE charts...and look: NUMBER ONE! Now...i know this fluctuates by the minute...but, I happened to screen shot it right when it was side by side w/ Instagram! So...I'll take that! so excited and of course a HUUUUGE thanks to all of YOU!

Now....the v1.3 updates should be up oh-so SOON! Sooo excited for this update! Did you check out the video?  Insta Swirls, Insta Family, Insta Friends & Insta School! PLUS: the undo/redo feature is added AND the mirror controls have been added! Ohhhhh, i love it! Seriously, Devin Pitcher, is a genius and he has developed my RD app along w/ Holly's, his wife, app: Bubbleframe. YOU NEED BOTH! lol...seriously..I use them both! love them!

Remember, all of the art that is in the app can be purchased on Rhonna Designs in the high resolution files.  Like the 4 new Insta fonts are all bundled up & offered for $30! loooove it! I think my fave thing about these files is the actual font files that are vectors...which means you can make them as big as you need...AND they cut in any cutting machine, like the Silhouette Cameo, that uses font files! LOOOOVE it again! 

Ok...hope you all have a fantastic day and....

p.s. don't fret, droid friends....the Rhonna Designs App for Android should be launched in the next couple of months! 

thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Another year...can you believe it? Rhonna Designs turned 2 on Sept. 1! crazy! Lots of changes, lots of simplifying! **and you can see that in the blog & site**  

As a mother, wife, woman & friend...I always strive to 'follow my heart'...& it's been telling me to simplify! So, our site will continue to stay open & offering all of the high resolution art, fonts, printables, kits, workshops, videos, etc....but, I'm streamlining & will be designing when my heart, body, mind & soul can do it! Having fibromyalgia makes things a bit tricky & I really can't push myself too much. So...again, thank you for an amazing 2 years! I hope to continue to uplift and inspiRe! 

With that...I wanted to share a huuuuge heartfelt THANK YOU to my amazing cReative Team that has helped uplift and inspiRe each of you...they are so fabulous & I just adore each of them. With the streamlining & simplifying comes a little good-bye and thank you to each of them! 

As for the Rhonna Designs App....it is still going strong...so thrilled & happy w/ the amazing things we are seeing via mobile photo sharing..Instagram is so much fun to create, click and connect w/ each of you! Thank you! 

Stay connected w/ the free video tutorials & sneak peeks on our site HERE.

aaaand...droid peeps...you will be happy to know that in the next couple of months the android version will be released...cool, huh? We couldn't do it w/o the amazing app devoloper/genius: Devin Pitcher & friends...seriously...we feel so blessed! 

Ok, speaking of the app...v1.3 & NEW design packs are coming out for September!

I'm soo excited! And of course, the high resolution Instafonts kits will be offered on Rhonna Designs...

Ok...love you all & keep uplifting and inspiRing!

BUT...you CAN create your own backgrounds using JUST the Rhonna Designs app...I will have a free video tutorial on that coming up in my 'Kick Up Your cReativity' w/ RDapp series coming up SOON! I'll shout it out when they are up!  until then....

cReative team tuesday: Jing's amazing journal

Jing has done it once again w/ this amazing hybrid journal she created w/ Rhonna Designs! WOW... Here's the cover she created w/ the KISS ME collection! Adore how she used the Chalkboard Cheer art kits, too! 

She says:

I truly enjoyed and was inspired making this Kiss Journal…

I love using the Canson Canvas Paper to print the designs…

All the inserts were printed with glossy photo paper – amazing result …

Love the contrast …

I left few pages to just add photos in the future …

I could just go on and on … add more details … but got to stop …

  Don't you adore these pages? I seriously LOVE Jing's style & attention to detail...THANK YOU, sweet Jing...for ALWAYS uplifting and inspiring us w/ your creations!

New Insta Fonts and update v.1.2 for Rhonna Designs App

WE are sooo excited to announce the v.1.2 update in the Rhonna Designs App!

• With 4 NEW Design packs as an 'Extras Pack 1' bundle, you get 104 new designs for .99! That's less than a penny per design...crazy cool! 
• The NEW starter screen in the Rhonna Designs App is interactive! It's so fun! I will be featuring my favorite Instagrams from our RD fans! Just make sure you tag your photos w/ #rhonnadesigns so I can see them! 
• Now the Photo Chooser view is up on top so you don't have to scroll down through your albums &
• minor bug fixes.  

8.13 Update v1.2 Rhonna Designs App from Rhonna Designs on Vimeo.

As always, the original Rhonna Designs App is so chock full of goodness that you'd never ever have to purchase another design! *wink* We've gotchya covered!

But....for those of you that DO want new designs...we will be offering 4 new Design Packs each month. (We'd love to hear your requests for future designs- send us a request via the app in the 'heart')

Since this is an app that was designed to give you creativity on-the-go & glam up your iPhoneography, we wanted to share some printing options with you! 

1. Our favorite online printers, Persnickety Prints, print off your RD app photos in various sizes: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4! On amazingly gorgeous papers! AND, for you Project Lifers, you can also go into your crop tool, pinch your photo so it has the white on the edges & when you send them to Persnickety to print, choose Crop Option #1 when you are on their site and let THEM do it for you! They will cut them to 3x4- perfect to slip in your PJ covers!  And...the metallic, pearl, linen papers are seriously amazing!

2. You can also use your ZINK hAppy printers to print off 2x2, or cute little photos like I've got shown here.  I LOVE the 'zero ink'- adhesive-photos that can be printed anytime anywhere!

3. If you are still looking for higher resolution options for your photos and designs, we will always be offering the high resolution design kits ON the Rhonna Designs site.  We have the NEW design pack offered in single Insta Fonts for $10 or bundled as No. 5 Insta Lovin' bundle for only $30! 

Remember, these include the hi rez .ABR digital brush/stamp files, the .TTF font files that can be used in any program AND as cutting files for your cutting machines like the Silhouette Cameo AND the black .PNG files that can be used as clip art in any program!  Also, when you need Rhonna Designs for anything to promote a company/biz for profit, we offer Limited Commercial Licenses, too!

And, Android users'  FAQ:

We are still hoping to be able to offer it in a droid version, but...the learning continues. There are some BIG differences in developing an app for droids because:

- with so many different devices, each with different screen sizes, aspect ratios, and screen properties it can be difficult to develop/build in a way that works well on all devices. 

- the development tools for Android are very different to what Apple provides.

- you usually need a wide assortment of devices to test on since there are just so many varieties of devices

So, you see...lots of things to consider & go through...but, we LOVE our droid fans, too & so we hope to get working on it!

**REMEMBER: The Insta Fonts available on Rhonna Designs site CAN still be used in apps like Phonto, so you CAN still play with Rhonna Designs on your phone & upload to Instagram! 

**ETA: it's come to our attention that a FAKE app is on google play...NO, it's not ours. it's spam...don't install! We are taking care of it, but just wanted you to know!
