Digital Collections are now available at ETSY!

My store at ETSY has been updated to include several of my more popular digital scrapbook collections. Click on the images below to go straight to that collection - or click here to go to the "front door" of my ETSY shop.  

While I am taking a little break from designing, I am still as crafty as ever.  You can see what I have been up to over on my personal blog. 

And if you haven't downloaded my facebook freebie, you'll want to do that soon, before I switch it out with something new!

Wishing you a beautiful day...by the Shore. 

 

Beauty of Autumn

I have just released a new collection and it is simply perfect for this time of the year.  The Beauty of Autumn collection features the soft colors of Fall ~ ideal for this lovely season (but you can certainly use it year round)

This layout was created by one of Scrap Take Out's fabulous CT members Deanna and features Rainy Dayz Designs template as well as the Beauty of Autumn Collection.

Last week of summer - and fall is in the air....at the Shore.

a HAPPY and COLORFUL layout

I created a layout for the 5K I ran (okay, I mostly walked) last weekend - The Color Run.  I could not quite decide which version of the layout I liked best, both are currently in my "to be printed" folder - but I would love feedback from you!

The first version reflects my typical scrapbooking style - simple and relatively clean.

On this second version, I added paint splotches which is reflective of the overall theme of the Color Run.

Almost too busy for me, but...there's something that I like about it.....

Which version do you like best - and why....

These layouts feature my newly released Summer Happiness collection - available at Natural Designs in Scrpabooking and My Memories.

(and if you want an alpha to coordinate, please check out my current facebook freebie)

Today, we enjoyed a picnic lunch and a walk around a lake - awwww - beautiful weather....by the Shore.

It's Friday!

And that means it's Photoshop Friday at jessicasprague.com

Here is my layout today - and it now sits all alone in my "to be printed" folder - which I emptied earlier this week to place an order with Persnickety Prints.  (But it won't be alone for long - I am working on a few additional layouts today)

I recolored the elements from this Photoshop Friday template and added papers and elements from my "A Rose is A Rose" collection available at NDISB and My Memories.

Another warm day in Colorado - looking forward to a cool down this weekend.  Enjoy these Summer days with family and friends - Fall is just around the corner....by the Shore.

PhotoShop Friday ~ Live Life Out Loud!

Another Photoshop Friday and another layout in my 'to be printed' folder.  Life is Good!

The technique in this week's Photoshop Friday at jessicasprague.com was using a font to create an outline  and using that same font as a clipping mask.  (See the title: PAINT)

I used the template provided which was already 'rich' in elements from the talented designers at jessicasprague.com.  I added papers from my Fresh Floral Fun collection available in both of my stores.

Fresh Floral Fun Available:   NDISB collection and MyMemories Paper 1/ Paper 2 / Elements

Don't forget that all of my products at NDISB are available at 50% off using the coupon code 'SPOTLIGHT'.  At MyMemories, I have placed all of my product on sale at 50% as well.  Both of these sales are in celebration of my two year 'Digi-Versary' and are through July 31, 2012.

Have a blessed day...by the Shore.

Little Works of Art

I have been part of an Artist Trading Card group for the last few years and simply love these little works of art.  An Artist Trading card is 2.5" x 3.5" - the size of a baseball card; cannot be sold (hence the word 'traded') and they are created in a variety of media. I personally love combining a bit of digital along with my traditional stash of paper and elements.

In June, the theme was Feet, Flip Flops and More.  I used my Toes in the Sand collection to make this card.  I created the base layers in Photoshop, printed out the layers and a few elements, used some scissors (remember those?), added some dimensional adhesives to give the elements a bit of depth and a little bling! (Using digital collectionsalong with real paper and elements is known as 'hybrid' crafting) Here are my ATCs for the month of June.

We have a theme for each month - and members sign up for those months that they wish - no long term commitments.  Themes have been as diverse as the members of the group - and even when we have a repeat theme, we are usually in a different place in our lives and therefore the artwork takes on a new flair. It is exciting to see everyone's take on the theme.  I typically host the swaps - the cards are sent to me and I redistribute when they have all arrived.  (so much fun to receive something in the mail other than bills!) If you are interesting in participating, please let me know (pamelarose@bytheshoredesigns.com) 

Available here:    NDISB Collection     MyMemories Papers / Elements

And, I have a new facebook freebie which coordinates with this collection - a fun and flexible alpha!  Head on over and pick up yours today before it goes in my stores.

Have a wonderful weekend...by the Shore.
