Jillibean Soup | My Whole Heart...

Hi Everyone!  Today I want to share with you a layout challenge we were given as designers over at Jillibean Soup.  Jill challenged us to use the silhouette files (especially created to match up with the awesome Jillibean Soup product) or use the mini/large place mats on a layout.  What a fun challenge!!

I chose to work with the mini placemats!  They are super cute.  This is what I came up with.

 

 

"My Whole Heart"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; alpha - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: wood sprinkles, mini placemat, woodgrain bag (stampables), wooden flag, stickers; tools - typewriter, machine stitching.

I have placed a wood grain, mini bag from the stampables collection, behind the placemat.  Inside the bag I have hidden my journaling.  To allow it to sit neatly behind the place mat, I've simply trimmed the top edge of the bag.

The wood sprinkles were my next indulgence on this layout!  You may have seen this sneak from a few weeks ago. *grin* 

I added a little 'orange-coloured' detail in the bottom corner and layered it with a wood flag.

Finally I added my title using both the navy beanboards and the white alphabeans.  I must admit, having the grid patterned paper made my job of lining up the letters, much, much easier! LOL!

Don't forget to head on over to the Jillibean Soup blog and check out what the other DT members created!

Jillibean Soup | Lost...

Hello Friends!  I've been away on a little Western Queensland adventure with my family for the first part of the school holidays, meeting up with my mother in a little town called Miles.  The kids had a great time exploring, even after a five hour drive to get there... :)

But we didn't get "lost" out there.  What I want to share with you today is a layout featured on the Jillibean Soup blog. 

 

"Lost"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; alpha - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: stickers, wooden flags, twine, die cuts; October Afternoon sprinklers;  tools - machine stitching, typewriter.

Master Seven can become so engrossed in whatever game he is playing on his hand-me-down iPod, that he becomes lost to the world!  I love that he loves technology but there is only so much that I will let him become immersed in... And so his time spent on it is very much treasured!  LOL!

I also want to share this card created for Jillibean too...

products used: cs - kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup die cut, resin flower, ink; tools - Fancy That Dies die (bow).

Can you tell I love this collection of blues, yellows and greens!  sigh.... :)

 

Please don't forget to check out the amazing DT over at Jillibean Soup today.  There are some fun projects being posted!!  Thanks so much for visiting..x

 

 

 

Jillibean Soup | Hello...

Hello Friends.  We are back online and on the grid.  :)  The electricity grid that is... The last four days has seen our little family in the dark due to the floods in Queensland.  The kids struggled somewhat... (mostly due to the high humidity and heat) but at least we were dry. And that is something I am very grateful for.

 

In the meantime, Jillibean Soup has shared some gorgeous cards from the DT.  Here  is mine... 

products used: cs - kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup: Coconut Lime Soup/Cumin; other - Jillibean Soup: Pea Pod Parts (Homemade 6 Bean Soup), Wood Flags (Hello), Kraft Tag (Small) & Bean Stalks (Turquoise Baker's Twine), distress ink; tools - border punch, Fancy That Dies (doily, card easel), machine stitching.

I wanted it to be a little bit 3D with the layers and I love the butterfly patterned paper (Coconut Lime - Cumin).  Don't forget to go over to the Jillibean Soup blog and leave some love! I'd love to see you there.  Thanks for visiting..x
