True story- these quarterly wallpapers are some of my favorite posts to do for many reasons! First off, I love design, and any excuse to make something pretty and fun in photoshop, well, I’m all over that! Next of course, is the fact that I love my gadgets and enjoy dressing them up in new wallpapers (and cases!) to give them a fresh new wardrobe every once in a while. Lastly, and probably less obviously, I really take creating these wallpapers seriously because I feel as though they can act as a daily reminder, even affirmation, for our lives. I don’t know about you, but the images and messages I choose to create through this wallpapers are pretty powerful to me, and when I think about the fact that my readers are using these and putting them on their phones and laptops and seeing the messages that I have crafted for them, it really makes me feel like I have done something special!
I know I normally like to theme each of these wallpapers to the season, and I thought about doing something with more of a fall color scheme, but in all honesty, I am not into fall colors so much. I find the browns, dark reds and burnt oranges a little uninspiring, so I went rogue and went for a full on color burst this time around, centered around the image of a multifaceted diamond! I feel like I have been seeing diamonds and diamond imagery all over the place lately, and I feel like diamonds can represent so much. I have seen a few quotes about diamonds all over the place also, not just the quote I use “you’re a diamond dear. They can’t break you,” but also “A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled stress exceptionally well.” I think these are really wonderful quotes with very powerful metaphors that we can use to inspire us in our own lives. So, I sincerely hope you enjoy these wallpapers and that you use them to remind you everyday that you have more strength than you even know, and that it is only with great pressure and under great stress that we can truly transform into something brilliant!
These wallpapers do take quite a bit of effort to put together, so if you enjoy this post and like to use these little freebies that I make for you from time to time, please make sure to share this post with your friends via Twitter or Facebook!
