Inspire Me! September 2012 Blog Train!

Welcome to the September Blog Train! - INSPIRE ME!

Whether you are visiting "by the Shore designs" on this lovely Labor Day weekend - or later in the month....I'm glad you are here!

The start of the blog train is HERE - head back there if you get derailed.....
You hopefully arrived from 4 My Babies Scraps
And your next stop will be to visit my good friend Kelly at Simply Kelly Designs 

Here is my contribution to the blog train (and if you head over to my facebook page - you'll find another freebie that coordinates as well)     Note: October 1,2012 ~ This Blog Train has reached its destination and has ended. This mini kit will be part of of a larger kit available at my stores in October.  Be sure to stop back by my blog and facebook and say hi - you never know when there will be goodies waiting for you. 

Make sure that you subscribe to this blog and "like" me on facebook and twitter - I have some fun new adventures starting later this month and can't wait to share!

(p.s. we have designers from around the world participating in this blog hop - if a link is not yet active, please make sure to head back and try again)

Have a beautiful day...by the Shore.

Summer Blog Hop

Welcome to by the Shore Designs! I’m so glad you are joining us on this fun Summer Blog Hop. I am a designer at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking and My Memories. When you have downloaded all of the digital goodness on this blog hop, I hope that you will come back and visit me and explore all of my digital offerings at these stores.

The color palette of this blog hop was so much fun to work with.  The Blog Hop started here at Three Owls in a Nest – and you may return to her blog at any time for the full list of designers (and corresponding links) Please make sure you download this mini kit before midnight on July 8^th. Shortly after that it will be part of a larger kit at both of my stores. 


NOTE: (7/9/12) The blog hop has ended.  You will be able to find my full collection of "Toes in the Sand" in my stores in the next few weeks.  The collection will include this mini kit and so much more! 

Before you continue on your journey, I invite you to subscribe to this blog using email/rss feed and to follow me on twitter and facebook (all on the side bar). I will periodically offer digital surprises that may be exclusive to this blog or these 'social networks' that you will not want to miss.

Want another freebie right now? Head on over to by theShore designs facebook page, be sure to "like" me - and download another digital mini kit.   

And in celebration of the Fourth of July – everything in my store at NDISB will be on sale, - one fourth off (25% off) through the weekend.    

Your next stop on the Summer Blog Hop is…Tonya at Passport to Creativity

Thanks again for stopping by.  Enjoy your summer ~ by the Shore.

Photoshop Friday and more...

I love Photoshop Friday jessicasprague.com.  Last December I purchased the entire year for 2012 and have not been disappointed - and the best part is I add another layout (or two) to my "to be printed" folder.  

This episode of Photoshop Friday featured a fun template and journaling in a column.  I love that each of these classes refreshes my memory on all of the awesome techniques available in photoshop. And if you are relatively new to photoshop - not to worry, the video lesson and corresponding PDF are easy to follow.

My 'Creativity' layout features paper and elements from my Beautiful Music Collection - available at both NDISB and MyMemories.  I can't tell you how I truly loved spending the day with my husband and girls - and in a paint studio was definitely a bonus!  So much fun getting my hands messy......

And....mark your calendars for July 6-8.  We have a fun blog hop next weekend - you won't want to miss the digi-goodness these designers have for you! Make sure you head back to my blog to check it out (and I'll be sure to let you know it arrives)

Have a great day....by the Shore.

SCRAP SCRAP SCRAP BLOG TRAIN

ALL ABOARD!

Welcome to the Scrap Scrap Scrap Blog Train! All the participating designers have recently been certified as JessicaSprague.com Certified Digital Designers. We are celebrating our new status by giving away mini-kits on a subject we all love - scrapbooking! Here's what you need to know:

• All mini-kits will be available for download through October 8, 2010
• You can also enter to win a full kit from each designer on their blog. Each blog has different rules on how to enter so make sure you follow the directions!
• We will randomly select one designer's blog and one random comment on that blog. If that person has commented on all 10 blogs he/she will win all 10 kits!
• Be sure to include your e-mail in each comment so we know how to contact you when you win!

Now that we have all that out of the way, let's get this party started!

I have been scrapbooking and preserving our families memories since 1994. Around 2005, I began adding digital pages to our albums. I absolutely love both methods of scrapbooking. Tradtional and digital each offer a wonderful creative outlet while allowing me to capture memories for my family and friends to enjoy for years to come. In late August, I was invited to join Faith Sisters as a digital designer. This is a true blessing for me and a great place to call "home". I encourage you to check out their website. The digital offerings are wonderful and the inspiration is fabulous. If you like challenges, this is certainly the place to visit. Designer challenges are a regular feature. (and by the Shore designs offers a 1,2,3 Scrap challenge on the third Thursday of the month) SpeedScraps are on Tuesday. And there are many more challenges in the forum. Won't you come over and say hello, you can find us right here >>> FaithSisters

My "Scrap Scrap Scrap" mini kit is a tribute to YOU, the scrapbooker, and reflects both methods of scrapbooking. You can download the mini kit here through October 18th - after that the complete Scrap It kit (even more pretty paper and cute embellishments for your scrapping 'needs') will be available in my store at FaithSisters. The mini kit is my gift to you. You can also enter to win my latest Digital Collection - Life's a Quilt Paper and Elements! You can enter three ways.

SPECIAL NOTE: EACH ENTRY MUST BE POSTED INDIVIDUALLY

1. Follow me on this website (right column) and leave a message in this post letting me know you did.

2. Follow me on Facebook and leave a separate message in this post.

3. In yet a separate message post here (because I want you to maximize your chances to win!), please let me know the theme for a digital kit that you would like to see in by the Shore designs' store.

You can do one, two, three or all of the above. Each separate comment will reflect an entry. Please include your e-mail in each comment so you can be contacted when you win. Winner(s) will be chosen using random.org.

You may also follow me on Twitter and I hope you do. You never know, I may just extend a special offer there that you won't see either here or on facebook.

Your next train stop is Butterflies and Bluebells

Here is the list of all the participating designers and their blogs in order. The designers are from all over the world so please be patient if the blog train posts aren't posted yet.
