More in Store Monday at JessicaSprague.com!!

This post is one day late... but I had the chance to work with some amazing Cosmo Cricket products over the weekend for the More in Store Monday (MISM) at JessicaSprague.com!

Since the holiday season is officially upon us, I thought I would start working on Photo Cards to be sent out to friends and family! All the products used are the Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly Collection and a few of Crystal Wilkerson's products!

Both the cards measure 5x7.. so it makes it easy to upload to any photo processing location to have multiple copies printed!

Thanks for looking!

Introducting a New Blog Series...

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately... A LOT!!! I have loved finding those blogs through forums at TwoPeas and JessicaSprague and have loved even more that those blogs led me to other blogs and so on! With that said, I have found one blog in particular that posts Friday Favorites as a picture collage and then a description of each picture and which blog / website it belongs to under it. I have decided to do something similar on Fridays but title my series Finally Friday Favorites!

Each Friday, I will showcase a picture mosaic / collage of things I have found through out the week that I think are worth mentioning and sharing with all my readers. So to get my first Finally Friday Favorites started, I thought it would be fitting to share some of those blogs I have been obsessed with over the last week! Some I have followed for a while and some are brand new to me! I truely hope you enjoy this series on my blog and decide to check it out on a weekly basis!

New Goodies to share..

I just wanted to share some goodies I created using digi supplies from JessicaSprague.com

The first are set of Hybrid cards using Elle's Studio's These Moments at Christmas Time Cards. I printed them on white cardstock and then embellished away.





The second is a Happy Halloween Card. I used papers from Echo Park Paper and the card template by Kristina Werner of Kwernerdesigns.com.
