Free Illustrated Template for Graphic Design, Journaling or Scrapbooking: Blackberries and Marauding Bunnies in the Garden!

When the enemy presents an opportunity,
speedily take advantage of it.
Anticipate him in seizing something he values
and move in accordance with a date secretly fixed.
The doctrine of war is to follow the enemy situation
in order to decide on battle.
Therefore at first be shy as a maiden.
When the enemy gives you an opening be swift as a hare
and he will be unable to withstand you.
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Ilustrated template showing a fluffle of bunnies running away from a group of children in the garden. There is a branch of ripening blackberries drawn across a small blank rectangle on the left side of the page.

Free Illustrated Template for Graphic Design, Journaling or Scrapbooking: Free to Fly

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all.
Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.
So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you.
And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices,
but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

Ilustrated template featuring antique paper and a Victorian lady allowing a bird to fly free from its cage.

BEES IN THE MEADOW
by MRS. SANGSTER
Bees in the meadow,
Birds on the bough,
Bloom on the hill-side ―
Play-time is now.

Weeds in the bed;
Haying and harvest,
Hard work ahead.

Loud sings the robin,
"If you'd be gay,
Take the work, lad
The heart of the play."

Free Illustrated Template for Graphic Design, Poetry Writing or Scrapbooking: Victorian Walled Garden with Fuchsia, Primroses and Morning Glories

It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well
in the hardest hours of grief.
But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window,
or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed,
or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
― Colette
A gorgeously illustrated floral border from a Victorian magazine published on April 21, 1883. The drawing shows a profusion of blooming flowers (fuchsias, primroses, morning glories) around an opening in an ancient brick wall, like those found in traditional English gardens.

Free Illustrated Template for Garden and Nature Journals, Scrapbook Page or Spring Graphic Design Projects: Cheery Robin Decorative Border

Birds know themselves not to be at the center of anything, but at the margins of everything. The end of the map. We only live where someone's horizon sweeps someone else's. We are only noticed on the edge of things; but on the edge of things, we notice much.

This image was extracted from an art nouveau style vintage postcard in my personal collection. The decorative border shows an L-shaped row of stylized red poppies with a lush summer meadow and billowy clouds in the background. On the upper right side of the page is a little verse that says:

A little richer, In the blessings Heaven sends...”

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this,
in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.
