Here’s the newest CandidHams creation -I am in love with mini accordion templates. I have collected my fair share of freebies as well as bought many from other designers around the circuit. I love how customizable they are and my clients absolutely go gaga over them – as do I – I always want to hold onto them! haha! Mini Accordions are great to carry with you as a mini album or to display on a desk or table at home. The Accordion Mini Wallet Calendars serve an extra purpose of having an at-a-glance calendar right at your fingertips!
Here you go – 3 very festive Accordion Mini Wallet Calendar templates. They make great gifts for photography clients as well as stocking stuffers for family and friends! Colors are customizable.
I will be adding to the mini accordion pool tomorrow with some 3×3 mini accordion books which will also be on sale – buy 1 get 2 free. The sale ends on Friday 12 midnight EST…Grab em while they’re hot!
You will receive a link to your templates within a few minutes of purchasing during regular business hours, please allow for extra time during the night (I I have to sleep some time!)
All sales are final due to the nature of digital products.
I know I know! I am very behind on templates (and all else) but I’ve not been feeling so hot, so you will have to excuse my tardiness!
Here is another freebie for photographers – a 7×5 wide format holiday greeting card template with Millers Lab specs, made in my favorite painterly style.
All you have to do is send out a tweet about it by clicking the button below and you will be directed to the download link once the tweet is ehh tweeted…
And the second freebie of the day today is a set of 11 cabinet card photo mattes/frames up for grabs!
They are 300dpi, layered photoshop files. Want’em? Excellent! Head on over to CandidHams Photography on Facebook, click LIKE if you haven’t already and visit the Photographer Goodies Tab to your left. If you are already a fan, you have one less thing to do today! In there you will find not only the newest photo freebies but an arsenal of freebies I have made for all my fellow photographers.

It’s been a while since I have been able to post a new blog entry and new freebies for my photog friends.
Today I have a few things for ya – a little different than the norm.
First are two sets of high resolution layered psd custom-made vintage photo album corner tabs.
All you have to do to get them is visit my facebook page for Candidhams Photography and become a fan. Then click the Goodies tab to your left and you will see the new downloads as well as all previous ones. Enjoy! More coming in a few…
It’s been a busy week, along with a bum hip and a stomach bug, but I managed to finish Just My Luxe Photog Freebie number 5 for you guys.
This freebie is a 10-in-1 3×3 Vintage Painterly Styled Luxe Sticker with a variety of color adjustment layers which are all editable to make pretty much an unlimited number of different color combos. I started you out with 9 (plus the original). I decided to call it “Purrfect Christmas” for the vintage storybook line drawing of a Momma Cat and her kittens included on the sticker. These free holiday stickers are great for Christmas gifts, closing envelopes or general Holiday Decor. Fonts are not editable, but I have included the font name for you to download, install and use on your own stickers. Font instructions are available on my facebook Wall.
Please remember to read terms included in zip file. Stickers are MillersLab Specs. These were made in CS5, and I am unsure whether they are compatible with lower versions of Photoshop due to the adjustment layers. If anything the original color/base sticker is still usable.
Here is the preview of the new photog freebie luxe 3×3 ornate vintage holiday stickers:

As promised, here is the fourth installment of the CandidHams Photography Just My Luxe photog freebie templates. This one is an Ornate Luxe Die-cut Business Card Template with MillersLab specs. It’s a vintage, painterly styled business card with color adjustment layers for easy color changes. Fonts are listed, but not included due to licensing – but please visit my facebook page to read instructions on adding the fonts.
I am enjoying dusting off my graphic design brain cells again, and actually have quite a few other templates in the works…I think I’m obsessed!
For anyone wondering why I am creating so many freebies…I have downloaded my fair share from various resources and not only is it my way of giving back…or paying it forward, but I know how excited I get when I see a designer release a freebie I love the design of…so I wanted to do the same for anyone visiting here…er, well I HOPE you like my designs. (If ya don’t maybe they’ll grow on ya?) LOL.

Better late than never. I know I promised this one over the weekend, but unfortunately – not enough time/ too much toddler ‘help’.
In case you hadn’t noticed, I seem to have a theme going here with these Luxe / ornate/ die-cut templates…and I have come to call them “Just My Luxe Freebies”. I will be releasing a few more freebie luxe card templates (and possibly an accordion mini freebie template – just to throw everyone off, LOL) within the week as time and toddler permit.
Below is a preview of the luxe template freebie number 3. It is a 5×7 horizontal top bifold, created in photoshop cs5 (pc), with some of my neat letterpress styles (I also have an obsession with those). Outside is red, inside is a muted green, but both templates have adjustment layers built in for you to change the colors very easily if desired.
If you’re a CandidHams Photography facebook fan already – go ahead and click the preview, and visit the Photog Goodies Tab. If you aren’t a fan, please click the preview or visit http://facebook.com/candidhamsphotography, look for the photog goodies tab, and download all the photog freebies. In there you will find: the two other free luxe templates already released, free lightroom presets, a texture freebie, facebook profile banner freebie, anda free custom letterpress photoshop style.
If you like my templates, I would love to hear about it! I would also love to see what you create with them after customizing. Feel free to post on my facebook page, or leave a comment here — both are greatly appreciated!
Please share the info with your photog friends and send them to download their very own freebies. Please read terms included in zip file. THANKS!
