A few years ago I made an alphabet. Yes, it’s true. My reason for making it changed and I never used it. But you may remember seeing it on these pages.

So it’s been sitting here on my computer for some time  and now I’ve finally made it into a cuttable set of files! I wanted to call it something representative of me and what I love and of course my mind went to our family farm. I thought about how things get weathered and worn there an decided to call it Weathered Door (thinking of the old yellow house). And, oddly enough, when I asked Kassidy what I should call it–what it made her think of to look at it–she said chipped paint. Perfect!

You can get it in of two ways. If you’re just fancying the ruggedness of the letter and that’s really all you want, you can buy just that.

But if you like a layered look, with a solid underside and an outlined top–or if you want to mix and match your letters, you just may want the whole enchilada. Plus, you do save buy buying all three together.

Now while there are distressed fonts out there, this was made with the intention of having it cut on a machine, so it’ll give you the look of a roughed-up letter without so many jigs and jags that a distressed font may have–sometimes shredding your paper.

And just to be clear, these are cuttable files, not a font in its technical term. But they do come in PNG format, so you can add them to a digital page or project as well. If you purchase the three-style version, each letter–upper and lower–in those three styles are saved in one file together. If you buy just the single style, both letters–upper and lower–are saved in one file. It also has numbers and characters. Ya just gotta have those too. :)

So happy to finally have a new kit for y’all! More great titles to help you get ready for National Scrapbook Day in couple weeks! (And don’t forget about The History Project sale–info in the previous post.)

Lots of great shapes that you can use with the title or even for something else. I love maximizing art. :)

I am sooooo excited for spring! Fall is my most favorite season, but spring is a close second. It’s always exciting for me to see the seasons transition. The excitement of looking for hints of green, longer days + more sun coming in the front room window, and the best part–open windows.

So of course this wonderful time of year has inspired me to create this new Bloom kit. All sorts of handwritten words to use with your spring and Easter pages. Lots of words to combine too: spring break, hello spring, easter eggs, planting flowers . . . all sorts of things!

And I can’t believe it’s 7:30 in the evening, there’s still light, and my window is open.

I do believe I’m in heaven right now.

I’m so excited to finally get this kit to y’all.
I can’t  believe we are three weeks into the new year already!
It’s been a busy one for me so far. Hope it mellows just a little bit.

pfffffff . . . who am I kidding . . . really. ;)

So, without further ado, here is the new twentyTHIRTEEN kit!

The fun part of this kit is not only the mixing and matching within the kit itself, but I also made it to coordinate with the Life Additions: Weeklies #2 kit! I felt like it was time to update the ‘twenty____’ series. Originally I’d made them so that they could all work together . . . and they still can. But I wanted to focus more on making it coordinate with the Weeklies #2 kit. You’ll see some similarities, but I opted for updating some of the fonts and still kept a couple of the ‘regulars.’

Here’s some more examples of mixing it up within the kit itself:

And of course this would work perfectly with the Life Additions: Weeklies #2 kit too!
Fabulous addition to your Project Life!

This is it folks. The very last day. I have to say, this has been one of the most fun times I’ve had here at KBS. Our own little two-week long Christmas party–great company, great conversation, all we needed was a little eggnog.

Thank you all so much for coming ’round these parts and making this Christmas season very merry+bright!

And now, I leave you with one last freebie. It just didn’t seem appropriate to not have one Christmas tree in the mix. So that’s what is up for grabs today and tomorrow.

I kind-a liked the long and skinny version. I even messed with stretching it taller (but not too far) and it looked pretty fun. It’d be awesome going up the side of your page!

To download it for free until Monday morning, click HERE.

And now.

What should we put on sale for today?

How’s about this one . . . it’s always been one of my faves.

It’s normally $9, but it’s on sale for half off–making it just $4.50–until Monday morning.

To purchase, click the image or click HERE.

man . . . as I’m writing this I keep feeling like i’m saying goodbye to all my  company at the end of the party.

And now, the last big fun thing for our little party.

If you are a fan of my Facebook page, you already know this baby is up!

A little somethin’ somethin’ for all your Project Life crafts perhaps?

I am so excited about this kit! Love the frames. You can put them over a title card or a photo . . . or even turn them vertically and use them if your photo pockets are obligin’. Lots of fun extra words to mix and match and just have a grand ol’ time!

Yeah . . . . some fun to be had there!

To check it out in the store, click the image above or click HERE.

Well, I guess that about wraps it up folks!
(And no, I did not mean that to be a pun in any way.)

It really has been such a fun past couple weeks!

Now we are all going to focus on our families over the next few days, get stuffed, and get stuffed some more. You know me, I’m all about the food. Of course, I do have one other page to share on Monday from Miss Nichol, so you’ll want to be sure to check in on that when ya gotta a couple minutes between parties, Santa visits, and dreaming of sugarplums dancing in your heads.

Oh and don’t forget, this class brand new class that’s available here on my site!

If this is the first time you’re hearing about it, you’ll want to check out all the details HERE. Additionally, it’s on sale until class starts, which is December 31. So maybe when you can breathe after the 25th, check it out. It’s going to be a fantastic heirloom for you. Truly. I’m very excited about it!

Welcome, welcome!
Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas here with us at KBS!

I’m so excited for this time of year. So many fun things going on, presents to be purchased, songs to be sung…and food to be eaten!

So much to do and so little time. Can you believe that Christmas Eve is just two weeks from today???
Goodness gracious . . . I gotta do me some shoppin’!

Well, I’m just givin’ ya one more thing to do during this crazy time of year . . . 
. . . meeting me right here–every day–to see what we’ve got goin’ over the next two weeks (except Sunday :) ).

Each day during our 12 Days of Christmas there will be both a free shape and a kit for 50% off.
What???

You heard me.

 Every day for the next 12 days.
(sunday doesn’t count though–just remindin’ ya.)

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, there will be something fun to share . . . whether it’s something from our fabulous creative team, something to learn, something new, or whatever may be tickling my fancy . . . it’s going to be a very fun-filled two weeks!

But there’s a big but here (and no, it’s not mine),
the freebie and the 50% a kit will be for that day only.

That’s why you absolutely have have have to check in every single day. But you know what? Unlike my previous ‘freebie’ weeks, if you miss a day, the freebie will be available to purchase for .99 the next day. Which brings me to some fabulous news . . . this is the beginning of a new time here at KBS . . . I’m going to start selling shapes from my compilation kits individually. I know, I know. Long time coming. I kept waiting to create a new store and finally, I’m just sick of waiting. :) The ’12 Days’ freebies will all go into a kit when I’m done too, so they can be purchased either way.

I’m very excited about this!

So . . . hmmmmm . . . what should we start with first?

How’s about this:

I know it says it’s also in ’12 Days of Christmas Picks’, but it won’t be until our ’12 Days’ is over. 
I just don’t want to create the image twice. :)
The .99 product images will always indicate when it’s also in a larger kit so you don’t accidentally buy it twice.

 To download this for free today only, click HERE. 

 This is no longer available as a freebie, but you can purchase it HERE.

Okay, let’s see that Gift Card Envelope in action.
It’s perfect for all those little gift cards that I know you’ll be buying right now!

Here it is, with a brand new KBS holiday gift card (printed on photo paper), which I’ll cover here in a sec.
(So much to talk about today. :) )

Cut it from a cute patterned paper or decorate with glitz and glam or just wrap a big ribbon around it.

So now, that you had a little sneak at the new holiday gift cards, let’s talk about those.
Here is what they look like. There’s the revamped ‘every day’ style and now a ‘holiday’ style.

On top of having a new ‘holiday’ choice, I’ve made the cards in four different dollar amounts.
You now have the choice between $10 + $15 amounts along with the original $25 and $50.

Perfect stocking stuffer or gift for your little bestie–with the envelope freebie, of course.

To access all eight of them so you can pick the one that you need, click HERE.

( FYI, a gift card size is 3 3/8″ x 2 1/8″. )

Okay, so now, last but not least, what is on sale for today?
Well, in the spirit of this gift-giving day, Signed.Sealed.Delivered. has got to be the kit, don’t ya think?

Rather than this baby being $10, today–and today only–it’s on sale for $5.

FABulous deal!

To buy it, click the image or click HERE.

And now, one last ‘gift’ idea.

You may have heard that my Silhouette classes (and all classes) are on sale for 20% off on JessicaSprague.com. But did you know that now you can get Silhouette 1+2 in a bundle and save $5 . . . and then 20% on that? So, instead of spending $54 on both classes, you can get the bundle for just $39.20. That 20% off sale ends along with the year, so keep that in mind.

I know that many of you have a Silhouette or maybe you’re just getting one or you may have friends getting them for Christmas.
Have you and/or your friends been wanting to learn more?

I can tell you, you will be singing sweet Silhouette songs after taking these classes.

AND . . .

You can give them as a gift too!
Maybe you need to drop a hint to hubby or maybe it’s the perfect idea for the ‘hard to shop for’ friend.

You can find all the Silhouette classes HERE.
If you are wanting to give it as a gift, just choose the needed class and you’ll have a link to do just that.

Okay . . . whew! What a day!

Wonder what’s up for tomorrow? ;)

I’ve had many-a request for handwritten numbers for y’all to use with your December Daily or Project Life. Therefore, I say . . . ask and ye shall receive!

I do believe these pretty much speak for themselves.
And, oddly . . . I have nothing else to say. :)
