Featured In: Somerset Memories Magazine Spring 2011.

I've always adored the Somerset crafting Magazines ... so it was an absolute delight to get published again recently in the Spring 2011 edition of 'Somerset Memories'. Here is the piece that was published on page 144, titled 'Follow Your Bliss'.  I've made it available as a gift here for you.  Feel free to use it as wall art, or as a card.

Love,

I'm Launched on JessicaSprague.com!

I am very excited to announce that you can now purchase my digital scrapbook creations and photo editing tools on JessicaSprague.com! Check out my new store, selling under the brand name of 'Jodie Lee' HERE.

Many of you will have heard of Jessica Sprague. This very talented lady is somewhat of a legend in the digital and hybrid scrapbooking arena!


As a well known contributing editor to the Creating Keepsakes Magazine, her passion is helping people tell the stories of their life with paper and pixels.  Her tutorials on Photoshop are absolutely awesome. I've been sampling a few myself lately, and even though I've been using Photoshop for 20 years, I'm still learning some fantastic tips and tricks from Jessica!

A few years back, Jessica featured some of my Vintage Boho Frames from ScrapArtist.com in her 'Computer Tricks for  Scrapbooking 3' Magazine.  

So I am more than excited to be now selling my digital products on www.JessicaSprague.com and I look forward to bringing you a ton of awesome new creations!

Freebie: Happy Easter!

Here's hoping you had a blessed Easter everyone! I have a free digital scrapbook paper to share with you today.  Click on the preview to see a larger image of what you'll be getting. Then, download your free 12x12 inch digital scrapbook paper from HERE.  Enjoy!

And now a few quick photos to show ... I'm So thankful for spring and pretty blooms outside my bedroom window!

This Easter egg was given to me by a very special friend ... love the the message!

And here's a quick picture of my beautiful daughter Georgia (9) doing an Easter Egg hunt at our place :)

Happy Easter everyone!

Butterfly Garden In-Store Now!

Hi friends, I'm SO excited!! ... My Butterfly Garden Collection for Pink Paislee has been shipping to craft stores and scrapbook stores internationally for a few weeks now ... and from what you've been telling me you are LOVING this new collection!!

I hear the products are flying off the shelves as fast as they are stocked ... AND I've had several STAR CRAFTERS, including VICKI BOUTIN, write to tell me they are really enjoying working with Butterfly Garden - so awesome!

I received my own copy of Butterfly Garden in the mail recently, and I must admit it was a great thrill to see this collection as a finished product after months of hard work.  I LOVED the pretty packages so much, I almost didn't want to open them up!! :) But I'm glad I did ... because I've been having a lot of FUN making some 'oh, so pretty' things lately that I cant' wait to show you (soon) :)

Have you bought your copy of the Butterfly Garden Collection? I would absolutely love to see YOUR Butterfly Garden creations! It gives me such a thrill to see your incredible creations, and I can't wait to share them with everyone here on my blog, so ... so get crafting and send me some pics of your projects (I love to see them). Send to: gypsychickdesigns@yahoo.com.  You can purchase the Butterfly Garden Collection online HERE at the Two Peas in a Bucket site.
