Christmas Bags and Banners!

Since we have been getting a ton of questions regarding where our Christmas bags and banners from last year can be found… We wanted to post a quick reminder that all our digital and hybrid items can now be found at our digital shop, on the jessicasprague.com website! This includes our Christmas bags and banners!

The bags work great to hold holiday treats and cookies that you are giving as gifts! Print out as many as you need, cut and fold!

The Christmas banners are available in “Merry Christmas“, “Happy Holidays” and “Peace, love, joy“. The banners come with all the letters and papers, in lots of different colors so you can mix and match to create a unique banner! These banners make great homemade holiday gifts and would be a fun project to make with kids!

Don’t forget – for the entire month of December, all our digital items are 20% off, too, so it’s a great time to stock up!

Christmas Wreath by Christine Middlecamp!

Have you seen this amazing Christmas Wreath project that Christine is putting together?! It’s such an amazing idea – the tiny layouts are so cute and colorful! Plus, it would be such a fun project to do a little layout a day!
We are also loving how she is incorporating some of our paper products into the mix! Some of the tags she is using are now digitals, too! And, this month only all our digitals are 20% off – just download and print at home!

So festive and inspiring! Make sure you check it all out at her blog – she even has step-by-step tutorials for each layout!

Come check out our new design team!

We are so excited to announce our new design team members, today, for the first half of 2011! But first we want to give a huge, HUGE THANK YOU to all that applied and your sweet and kind words! We love you all! We had over 200 applicants this time around and we had such a hard time narrowing it down – narrowing it down is one of the toughest job around here and I dread it so much because everyone has something amazing to offer and deserves a spot!

The other hardest job around here is letting our past team go. This is the second team that we are saying goodbye too and the second time around isn’t any easier than the first! We feel so blessed by our current team and want to thank them for ALL they have done for us – they are truly an amazing group of women and we are going to miss them!

But, with the hard jobs, come the fun jobs and one of the fun jobs is welcoming the new team 🙂

Please give a warm welcome to the following ladies who will be joining us from January to July 2011:


Can’t wait to see what these ladies create!

Helmar Holiday Hop – DIY Noel Ornament!

Welcome to the Helmar Holiday Blog Hop! We are so excited to be apart of this awesome hop and share our creation with you today! You might be stopping by from Becky’s blog – but if you’re not, and want to start at the beginning, make sure you head back to the Helmar blog!

Also, make sure you check out Helmar’s facebook page! They will be having giveaways throughout the entire day! There might be some Elle’s Studio stuff in the prizes, too 😉 And, don’t forget to leave a comment at every stop along the way for a chance to win some other prizes, too!

Alright, are you ready to get started? We’ve got a fun ornament that you can make with the stuff you have right at home, today! We’ll just need to grab a few supplies to get started!

DIY Noel Ornament:

1 thick piece of chipboard (if you don’t have thick chipboard, trying gluing two or three pieces of thinner chipboard or cardstock together)
Helmar Gemstone Glue
Scissors
Xacto knife
tiny hole punch
Glitter (if you don’t want to make it with glitter, you could also use a piece of your favorite patterned scrapbook paper!)

STEP ONE: Print out the free Noel pdf template we have available at the bottom of this post.
STEP TWO: Cut it out, then trace it on your chipboard.
STEP THREE: Cut it out of the chipboard. You’ll have to use your Xacto knife for the small parts. Those Tim Holtz scissors are a must have!! Also, if you are hanging this, punch two small holes in the N and L for your ribbon.
STEP FOUR: Get your glitter and glue ready…….
STEP FIVE: Start gluing! Spread it around….
… and pour the glitter on!
STEP SIX: Don’t forget to do the same on the backside.
STEP SEVEN: Once it has dried, get your ribbon or twine and tie it up all pretty and hang it on your tree!
Sooo pretty! Love the way this turned out! You can click below to download the free NOEL template to get started – these would make awesome Christmas gifts!

You must have Adobe Reader to open this file, if you do not have Adobe Reader, you can download it for free, here. If you are having problems downloading or opening, please make sure you have the latest updates for Adobe Reader.
