Holiday & New Year Greetings

By on January 5, 2018 in Christmas, Goals, Holidays, Inspirational, New Years

When I saw this Holiday card design from Tiny Prints, I knew right away that I wanted to use it. The focal word couldn’t have been more perfect for what I want to call into 2018. After such a year of ups and downs, I want to cultivate a sense of PEACE in my heart and home.

Holiday-Cards-Peace

PEACE… when I have a million and one things on my to-do list and ideas swirling around in my head BUT I’m too tired at the end of the day to do anything about it! This sometimes draining season of busy little ones will pass quickly. And, then I’ll miss it. Stay present, mama!

PEACE… when James and I are short with each other at the end of a long day. I know that he loves me. 

PEACE… when I know I’ve fallen short of my own expectations. Perfection isn’t the goal. I’m doing my best and that’s good enough.

PEACE… in the joyful moments and messes of daily life with littles. I’m so grateful for this time and that they need me right now. And, their smiles? Pure magic for the soul.

PEACE… when sleepless nights have become the norm and I’ve just warmed my coffee up for the 37th time. What I’m doing MATTERS. Being present for them is the greatest gift.

PEACE… when I’m building my business or working on a creative project. I’ve got this!

Wishing you PEACE, joy, health, and happiness in 2018! Happy New Year!

In the Workshop: Fast Christmas Card

By on December 4, 2013 in Christmas, Handmade Cards, Holidays, In the Workshop

I am having so much fun working mixing digital and traditional paper elements.  Here’s a peak at a super easy card that can be created in under 10 minutes after you’ve gathered all your supplies:

Santa Cheer Card

Steps to making this card:

  1. Print out the Santa card from the Very Merry Christmas Element Pack #2 featured on JessicaSprague.com.
  2. Edge the card with a gold Krylon leafing pen.
  3. Layer the Santa card onto green patterned paper.
  4. Edge the green paper with a glue pen and immediately apply glitter.
  5. Adhere all pieces to a card base.
  6. Punch out snowflakes from gold metallic paper.
  7. Adhere snowflakes with glue dots and embellish with a pearl.
  8. Add a green twine ribbon bow to the finished product!

Tip: Look for creative ways to use your punches!  The scrap pieces from this EK Success border punch produced perfectly sized snowflakes for my little card!

A beautiful, handmade card in a matter of minutes!
