Hello, I’m Kate Hadfield. It’s nice to meet you!

I create fun and funky hand-drawn graphics to help you make beautifully illustrated scrapbook pages, craft projects and teaching resources and have fun while you do it!

My illustrations (also known as ‘doodles’!) are characterised by bright colours, a hand painted style and lots of fun little details. Whether you are a memory keeper recording your family’s stories, a teacher creating resources to inspire and educate little learners, or a crafter getting inky fingers and crafting up a storm I hope you will find something here that speaks to you!

I believe that art (even light-hearted, doodled art!) has the power to bring joy into everyone’s lives. For the last fifteen years I’ve been trying to add my own version of that creative joy to the world – one doodle at a time!

I hope that unzipping a set of my illustrations is like opening a little present to yourself and that creating with them makes you smile! All my illustrations start life as pencil drawings in my sketchbook, they are then hand-painted and digitized by me in my little studio here at my home in Cheshire, in the North-West of England. All my products are digital and instantly downloadable so you can start creating straight away!

Please pull up a comfy chair, make yourself at home and take a look around my little corner of the internet! While you’re here you might like to join my mailing list to keep up with the latest news (and free gifts!) or get social and hang out with me over on Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest. Please get in touch if you have any questions or if you would like to chat doodles!

About Kate Hadfield Designs

I have always been a doodler, a memory keeper, a photographer and a journaler. Way back in 2006 I discovered digital scrapbooking, a hobby that combined all my creative loves in one arty package. Scanning my own drawings to include in my scrapbook pages combined my hands-on artsy side with my geeky, technology loving side and Kate Hadfield Designs was born!

Over the years I found myself using my illustrations more and more in activities for my own children and for various school projects, and today I create graphics with both the creative crafter and the teacher-author in mind. I love knowing that my illustrations are helping scrapbookers to preserve their family memories and educators to create inspiring learning activities for their students.

About me

I live a simple life with my husband, two children and two dogs in a little town in North-West England. When I am not designing or scrapbooking you might find me enjoying the beautiful British countryside, eating the odd chocolate (or two), “helping” my husband renovate our house or watching Doctor Who. Everything stops for Doctor Who.

  • I’ve never met a pen I didn’t like.
  • I’m a football fan (football = soccer!)
  • I hate baked beans.
  • I love live music and try to go to as many concerts as I can. Cheesy pop is my favourite.
  • Despite being the World’s Worst Tennis Player (that’s an official title) I religiously watch the Wimbledon Championship every year.
  • I alphabetize my CDs and DVDs. My family laugh at me.
  • I LOVE Instagram, it’s absolutely my favourite place to hang out online (so much so, I have two Instagram accounts!)

Happy Christmas Eve! If you're celebrating tomorro Happy Christmas Eve! If you're celebrating tomorrow I hope you have a wonderful day, however it may look this year. If Father Christmas is visiting you I hope he tucks an extra special little something into your stocking!⁠ 🎁⁠
⁠
If you're on your own and would like some virtual company you might like to head over to twitter and check out the #joinin hashtag. It's a lovely online party for anyone who is alone over Christmas hosted by one of my fave British comedians. Following along with the hashtag and joining the party allows you to connect, chat and laugh with peeps all over the world. 🌍❤⁠

Merry Christmas!
I've been trying a new layout for this week - just I've been trying a new layout for this week - just a whole lot of space for whatever journaling / tasks / notes I had! But, it's not really working as well as I'd hoped (I think I'm too attached to my vertical lists!) so I'm going to amend it slightly for next week and sees how that goes. If all else fails, I'll be back to my trusty boxes the week after!

.⠀
I used a different technique for this one - I inked the flowers first and then lay down random areas of colour within the inked borders. The result isn't quite as random as my 2019 cover page, but I still quite like it!⠀

This pack takes me back to when my children's prim This pack takes me back to when my children's primary school had to close (due to a combination of bad weather and broken heating system!) and we got to play in the snow all day! Many snowmen were made and much fun was had by all. Good times!
Christmas kisses anyone?! 😘⁠ ⁠ I might have Christmas kisses anyone?! 😘⁠

I might have mentioned one or twice before (ahem) that I'm a fan of chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. YUM. If you have a chocolate lover in your family, you might like to download these fun Elf Kisses bag toppers, print them off and attach to a bag of yummy chocolate treats for a quick and easy gift idea!⁠
⁠
Or you could just eat all the chocolate yourself. 😉⁠
⁠
If you're more generous with your chocolate than I am, you can find the link to download these in my profile!
I think this drawing wins the prize for the Most O I think this drawing wins the prize for the Most Obscure Colouring Page Theme - kawaii jellyfish! 🤣 The original doodle was from an "under the sea" drawing prompt, I couldn't resist drawing lots of cute, smiling jellyfish with all their tentacles wiggling around!⁠

If you fancy colouring your own version you can find the download link in my profile, happy jellyfish colouring!
