Jillibean Soup | Everyday Superhero...

Well CHAW2015 is all finished for another year and there are a gazillion new releases out there, flooding our computer screens, as the lucky ones snap away at their favourite new collections!  I so wish I could have been there too.  Don't we all! *grin*  But in my stead, I am very fortunate to have had some of my work on display, right here at the Jillibean Soup Booth.

 

 

 

I was asked to play with the new Jillibean Soup | Soup Staples III.  A new collection of 12x12 papers and an assortment of paper goodies to use as "sides"!

 

"Everyday Superhero"

 

What was your favourite new product that made it's debut?  I certainly have discovered a few new "must haves"!!

Jillibean Soup | Love Notes...

Hi Everyone!  I'm back again today (and somewhat late!!) to share another CHA project created for Jillibean Soup.

I really love this Valentine's Day collection and was thrilled when given the chance to play along with it.  There are plenty of layers here too.  *grin*  I couldn't help myself!  And in the craziness that is CHA... I created this LO within two hours!  And that included the online communication with both Kimber and Jill.  A small feat in itself considering the time differences! LOL!

This layout will hold all those special notes my Mr 8 likes to write to me.  sigh... These love notes will become a more treasured gift in years to come. :)

Jillibean Soup | Falling in Love...

Hi there friends!  I have a layout share for you today that featured on the Jillibean Soup blog late last month.  whoops!  I am a little behind.  Sorry about that.. :D

"Falling in love with You"

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; alphas - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: hexies, flashcards; tools - typewriter, FTD (mixed leaves), hole punch.



 

 

I wanted to document Cameron's latest habits.  At four years of age, I know this time is fleeting. His speech will start to change, his favourite toys will definitely alternate and the sleep deprivation will one day disappear too.  But for now.  I just wanted to document the little things.  The things that are "everyday" right now.

Jillibean Soup | Best Day Ever...

Hello Friends!  Today I wanted to share my layout created for Jillibean Soup.  I was totally inspired by our Christmas being celebrated in Summer and wanted to convert it onto a page.  The stitching on the stars and the beach theme really make me happy! *grin*  It is a long way from the traditional red and green theme of Christmas but who's to say we can't change it up every now and then!  :)

 "best.day.ever"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup (Cold Avocado Soup); other - Jillibean Soup: wooden button, stampable frames, flash cards, soup labels, wise words; mist; tools - typewriter, silhouette portrait.

 

Stars are quite universal at Christmas time, don't you think? Stitching over them like this reminds me of those banner/strings that are popular to wrap around gifts.  I've seen quite a bit of fancy gift wrapping over on Pinterest! LOL! Anyway...  I would probably label this type of gift wrapping under "the little things, my little people wouldn't appreciate!" *grin*  After all, at the moment they are only interested in what is on the inside of the package!

 

So, what's inspiring you these days?  Blogs? Pinterest? Christmas? Thanks so much for visiting...x

 

 



A collection of Cards...

Hi Everyone.  Just wanted to pop in here quickly to share a few of my card creations from the last month.  Today I have one of my cards up on the Jillibean Soup blog.  Considering the patterned papers I've been playing with, it is starting to look a little like Christmas around here!!! oh my....... *grin*

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: die cuts, Christmas Cheer Chowder word stickers, flash cards.

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup: Christmas Cheer Chowder, Soup Staples II; other - Jillibean Soup: soup labels, twine; ink.

But I've also been playing with some Hampton Art stamps too.  I created this creepy crawly card for my niece who loves anything bug related!  She's not you typical 11 year old! :)

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Bella Blvd; other - Jillibean Soup clear stamps, rhinestones, twine, Greatest View glassine bag; tools - hole punch, corner rounder.

I'm keeping it fairly simple with my cards at the moment.  If I think about it too much then I get overwhelmed! LOL!  Especially with the thought of Christmas looming! Yikes!! Thanks for visiting with me today..x
