“Lilly Love” Bowtiful Wallpaper – June ’14
On June 21st it's National Wear Your Lilly Day! (If you don't believe me, Google it. It's a real thing!) So for this month's wallpaper I decided I'd do an all Lilly theme. Whenever I'm designing one of my bowtiful wallpapers I look on Tumblr and Pinterest for fun pictures that fit the theme or color scheme I'm working with. Since I LOVE my Lilly I decided I'd throw in a few more of my own pictures this time around. I think that this is my absolute favorite of all the backgrounds I've …

“Embrace The Journey” Bowtiful Wallpaper
It's kind of crazy to think that Valentine's Day is already this Friday. 2014 has been flying by! This month's bowtiful wallpaper has plenty of pink and red to fit with the upcoming holiday and I think it's kind of adorable. I chose to place the quote "embrace the journey" in the center because I think that it's very valid when discussing relationships, especially with it being the week of Valentine's Day. (Now get ready for just a teeny tiny bit of uninvited relationship advice.) So many people …
“Icy Light” Bowtiful Wallpaper
This month's screensaver was inspired by the super chilly weather that the Midwest has been experiencing recently. There's been quite a lot of ice and snow within the month of December, hence the cool and icy blue tones. Also, as some of you know, Oscar Wilde is the author of many of my favorite quotes, so I thought I'd put this quote in for just a little bit of extra inspiration whenever you turn on your computer. How to set up your new background 1. right click on the image. / 2. select "open …
“Golden Slumbers” Bowtiful Wallpaper ~ October

I absolutely love the way that this one turned out and I'm currently using it as my background on my macbook. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Black & White Bowtiful Wallpaper
Hey lovelies! Back by popular demand, I have another Bowtiful Wallpaper to share with all of you today. The previous, pastel wallpaper went over very well. I chose a more black and white theme for this one (and yes, there is some color in it, but it's more toned down than what I would usually do.) I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out! This wallpaper includes some gorgeous iconic faces & places as well as plenty of other pretty pictures. If you didn't see the last wallpaper that I posted, …
