First off, the winners are:

Congrats, ladies!! Shoot me an e-mail at ikaridesigns@gmail.com and I will get you your coupon code

Now, to fill you in on the 2 new products that I released in the past few weeks ... First I have a fun flair-type alpha that is perfect to go with those school photos!! With a lined notebook paper background these are a great addition to any page!

Look at this adorable page that Laurie made using it:

Next, I released my Plan a Party packs vol. 1 & 2 and a bundle that contains both!! This is a product that I have had "on my brain" for quite a while and I *LOVE* the way it turned out! Not only is it fantastic for planning a party from invites to favors but it is also perfect for quick and easy treats for friends, teachers, & neighbors, a fun banner to celebrate any holiday or event, a quick set of thank you cards, and much more.

And, here are a few close-up photos of the completed set:

I know this is something I will use a TON of times for a million different things ... hopefully you will, too! Thanks for popping by and sharing your fun comments and compliments - it means a lot to me to know that you enjoy my work! If you haven't gone to "like" my page on Facebook I suggest you head over there ... I noticed I'm awfully close to having 400 fans and there *might* just be some sort of celebration once I reach that milestone!!

Hybrid Project Friday

Wow ... has it really been a month since my last post? Sheesh - I'm not good at this blogging thing!! I've actually put out two new product since my last post and they are so much fun! Before I get to those I want to share with you one of my fave projects I've done in a while ... Spooky Blocks. These are perfect for your Halloween decor and are quick, easy, and inexpensive to make for gifts - who doesn't love that?

This particular project is part of a new series at jessicasprague.com called Hybrid Project Friday. Every Friday there will be a new hybrid project that will contain all the digital materials you need to complete it AND includes complete step by step instructions to help you get it done!! The best part is that these awesome projects are available for $1 the entire first weekend they are released. Yup, you read it right ... $1. Friday-Sunday. What.a.STEAL!!!

I created my Spooky Blocks using 2 different Halloween kits from Echo Park Paper Co. - love them! I've given instructions for 3 different variations of the project, too ... how's that for bonus material?!?

I'm also giving some away for FREE! You can leave a comment here to be entered to win one of 2 free chances and you can also leave a comment on my Facebook Page for a chance to win one of 3 more chances! Winners will be announced on Saturday night so you can still grab it for a buck if you don't happen to be win.

I'll add my new product information when I come back to announce the winners on Saturday - too much info already! Speaking of winners, I realized that my last post was a giveaway that I never rewarded!!!! Lucky for me {and the winner} there was only one comment left so I'll be sending Bill, Amelia, & Jack (I'm assuming Amelia is the winner - lol) a coupon code to grab my You've Been Framed: School Days set!!

Thanks for stopping by ... now go grab a set of Spooky Blocks for yourself!!

This week I have a new goodie for you, too - actually A LOT of goodies packed into one product! You've Been Framed: School Days comes with 2 different frame styles including 28 different grades or school years {also includes a "blank" frame}. I've also given you shadowed and unshadowed versions of each frame in .png AND .psd format so you can easily "crop" your photos with a clipping mask!

Not only do I use frames when I am scrapping my pages, but I love using frames to quickly and easily post photos to my blog, too! Here is an example of what it would look like:

Aren't they cute? And, of course, my preview shows my son all geared up for his first day of preschool ;) What would a new product be without some inspiration, too? Here are a few pages that the girls on the jessicasprague.com CT created for me:

Whirlwind ... and a new product!

Well, this summer has been a whirlwind to say the least! My kids started back to school last week and, while I hate to admit it, I'm kinda glad ;) I loved having them home and we had a *FABULOUS* summer together, but it's easy to forget how hard it is to entertain 4 children all day long! It definitely cut into my design time which meant far fewer products in the past 2 months but I imagine many of you were too busy to notice :D

I had a fantastic trip to Chicago to work at the CHA Supershow {Craft & Hobby Association} with my JS.com crew and most dear friends - I'll post more about that and share some pics later!

I wanted to share my new product that I am super excited about!! It's an addition to my Save the Date line ... vol. 5, to be exact! This one is a versatile set that you will use over and over again and I can't wait to scrap a page with it!

The amazing CT over at jessicasprague.com went crazy with it, too ... take a look at what they came up with:
