Freebie: Vintage Postcard Blog Frame

I've found another use for my vintage postcard collection! .... UPCYCLED Vintage Postcard Frames! These were a lot of fun to make, and there are much more where these came from! :)

I have a NEW set of these little pretties due for release at my Jessica Sprague store on June 13 ... so make sure you check them out! They will be sized at 4x6 inches, just perfect to frame your photos! But for now, I thought I'd give you a little FREEBIE. I've included both the blog frame (450 pixels, 72 dpi), and the full print version below it (4x6 inches). Feel free to use the blog frame on your personal and small-business blogs (don't forget to credit Gypsy Chick/Jodie Lee, thank you.).  Click to go to the larger images, then right click and save.

Featured In: Mary Janes Farm Magazine

My digital designs have been featured  in the latest issue of Mary Janes Farm Magazine (Vol 10 #4 pg. 26, 28, 29, 43.).  I was delighted to discover this today as I was sipping green tea and flipping through mags with my girlfriend Dabney at our local bookstore :)

Mary Janes Farm Magazine is an 'everyday organic lifestyle magazine' ... I love the layout and design of this magazine, and all the fantastic green articles,  green crafts and green tips they offer. If you enjoyed Mary Englebreit's Home Companion, you'll love Mary Janes Farm ... available at your local bookstore.

French Flower Brushes

If you hadn't guessed by now ... I  LOVE using VINTAGE FLOWERS in my designs!  

For those of you who are into digital scrapbooking ... Here is a new Photoshop Brush pack  created with original illustrations from the Art Deco period (early 1920's). You'll love the hand drawn quality of these brushes, and the bonus is that you can use them for both personal and commercial use!  You will find these brushes in my new Jessica Sprague Store here.

Butterfly Garden Burlap Mini Album

It's fantastic seeing all the amazing things you have been creating with the Butterfly Garden Collection! I came across this wonderful idea recently ... a gorgeous Burlap bag album by a very talented paper artist called Tiffany. The album is being auctioned on Ebay. Nice work Tiffany! The album is made with chipboard pages covered with burlap bags. Tiffany used the Butterfly Garden papers, embellishments, and some Prima flowers as well :) Check it out ...

In-Store Appearance on National Scrapbooking Day

If you live in the Virginia Beach area, I would love to see you at Beach Scrapbooks on National Scrapbooking Day!

So come out and say hi, and see the new Butterfly Garden Collection revealed at Beach Scrapbooks.  Hope to see you there!

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!
