I've got two new layouts to share - yes, I am on a scrapping roll as of late - and I am so proud of them. It's been a long time since I felt this inspired and jazzed about scrapping.

This first one deals with my emotions when we first watched the film UP and what it made me realize about myself and life. Heavy stuff. But still, important I think.

Supplies: Note to Self full kit by Echo Park, Stitched by Anna White 3 and Simple Torn Edge 3 by Anna Aspnes, Staples by Vinnie Pearce, Century Gothic font

This one was inspired by the Instagram shot of the stop button on the bus that I ride to work every day. I detest taking the bus, especially since it takes a large chunk out of my day but I detest getting up in the morning even more so riding with the husband is out of the question. But I felt I wanted to document it somehow.

Supplies: Cuntry Lane Paper Pack and Elements Pack by Pink Paislee, Note to Self Elements Pack by Echo Park, Charmed Alpha by In the Making Design, Marcelle Script and Ieceister fonts

Supplies: When Skies are Grey Cards Vol 1, Baker's Twine by Splendid Fiins, Note to Self Full Kit by Echo Park, Get Happy Solids Paper Pack by In the Making Design, stitches by Anna Aspnes, Desert Dog and Iecester fonts.

Spotlight weekend is drawing near

Don't miss the spotlight weekend coming up in just a couple of days, guys!

laying it out | jackpot

Can you believe it? I have actually created three layouts in the last week. I hardly can. Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves and think this will be kept up for any lenght of time, I see little time to sit undisturbed in the next coming weeks. But why not celebrate the small things, people?

This layout was inspired by an awesome layout I happened to come across out and about in the interwebs; "If I had a million dollars" by KimR+ .
Here is my take:


Supplies: Marrone Paper Pack, Marrone Notecards Pack, Sweet Template (including title alpha and jewels) all by In the Making Design, stitches by Anna Aspnes, Iecester and You are Loved fonts

laying it out | a minute at a time

I am just so in love with this photo. Not that it's a master piece by any means at all. But for what it represents; tiny little moments of refreshing and finding my center. Far away from computers, emails, to-do lists, deadlines, stress, and burning eyes and neck. I love how powerful even a short moment in the cold wind can become when you think about it.


Supplies: Marrone Paper Pack, Marrone Journaling Cards Pack, Kickin' It Elements Pack, Indulgence Elements Pack, Meet & Greet Elements Pack, Valpolicella Elements Pack, Make a Splash Elements Pack

laying it out | fave telly

I have been meaning to do this page for ages. Somehow I just never got round to it. I am going to blame it on time getting away from me, even if we all know that it's all due to me being a scatter brain. Hee!

Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to tv, to say the least. I guess experts would have a field day trying to analyze me from this. I am quite popular with the husband, at least, as he doesn't have to suffer through girly shows he hates.


Supplies: It's a Start Templates 8, Marrone Paper Pack, Marrone Journaling Cards Pack, Kickin' It Elements Pack, Get Happy Elements Pack, Meet & Greet Elements Pack, Mandarin Breeze Elements Pack, Wax Seals Elements Pack all by In the Making Design, Stiches by Anna Aspnes, Verdana, Rockwell, Iecester fonts

I had a revelation last night. I miss scrapping. I don't do it often enough. I should change that.
At least I got a headstart with this one!

new in store | it's a start

Yay! SO excited for the huge template set I have for you today!

I really wanted to create an album set for telling the story of our latest trip to Italy - our 10 year anniversary trip. I wanted a simple and classy style with a bit of an edge. Now, I still haven't had time to sit down and actually create my own album, but I am so happy with how the templates turned out.


(Click on the image to go directly to the product in the shop)

There are a whopping 20 templates in the set. They all feature two papers and custom shadows. This means you can choose to just plop your pictures in, write you titles and journaling, and you are done! But then you could also change the papers out, add all the elements you want, and you've got a fully customized look. With so many templates, you will be able to create an album any size - just mix and match until you have as many pages as you need.

It's a Start Templates 8 is available in my shop at JessicaSprague.com today, and at 25% off today only!
