Jillibean Soup | Mountain Man...

Hi Everyone! Today I wanted to share with you my layout created with Jillibean Soup's new Saffron Yellow Pepper collection!

 

"Mountain Man"

 

products used: cs - American Crafts; pp - Jillibean Soup (Saffron Yellow Pepper); alpha - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: party playground bag, pea pod parts, stickers, happy hues; tools - machine stitching, typewriter.

 

 

I just had to share this story of my middle son suddenly developing a fear of heights as we were climbing a mountain! I'm glad he didn't take it to heart and tried very hard to get over this challenge.

 

 

This new collection from Jillibean Soup has just the right amount of fun (with the sequined patterned paper) mixed in with a touch of seriousness!

 

I hope you will take the opportunity to visit the Jillbean Soup blog and check out the awesome inspiration to be found over there! Thanks for visiting..x

 

 

JOT Magazine | June Moodboard...

Hello Friends!  Are you excited to see the new Jot Magazine June Moodboard?  It is a stunner!  The lovely Natalie Elphinstone is this month's guest pinner and what a delightful colour scheme she has created for us to play with!

I'll always be the first to admit that I love pink!  And when it comes in shades of flamingo and watermelon, well.. I am absolutely smitten!  There was no way I was planning on sitting this challenge out!

"Happy"



products used: cs - American Crafts, Bazzill; pp - Bella Blvd (Colorchaos), Scraptastic Club (Text Me); PL Card - Becky Higgins; other - Scraptastic Club: cut aparts; Bella Blvd: Bella Bows, ColorChaos "&" sticker, enamel dots; Heidi Swapp "Happy" die; Dear Lizzy ephemera; Crate Paper Poolside ephemera; Kaisercraft: ephemera; Pebbles: gold glitter banner; Elle's Studio label; tools - machine stitching, sharpie, circle punch.

I've even created some of my own watermelon embellishments to add to the page. It was a simple matter of using a small circle punch to cut cardstock from pink cardstock and layer it on top of a slightly larger green cardstock circle. Trim the circle in half and then add small "v" shapes with a black pen.

And don't you think the Bella Bow from Bella Blvd is the perfect colour to grab your attention?

Thanks for visiting with me today.  Please head on over to the Jot blog and play along with our new Moodboard! I can't wait to see you over there!

Jillibean Soup | Cards...

Hello Everyone! Thanks for joining me here this week and for letting me indulge in my Jillibean Soup love! Today I am sharing some clean and simple cards that have all appeared on the Jillibean Soup blog lately.

"Thanks"

 

This first card was created using one of my fave collections. Cold Avocado Soup! I've teamed it up with a doily stamp (Jillibean Soup - stamp & stencil) a wood sprinkle and some yummy grey twine!

 

The next selection of cards have all been created with Birthday Bisque.  It is bright and fun and perfect for either a boy or girl birthday recipient.  As you can see, we've attended a few girly birthdays of late!

 

"Celebrate"



 

 

"Hats off to the BDay Girl"



 

 

"Birthday Girl"



Thanks again for visiting with me this week and thank you to everyone who left a comment...x


 



Jillibean Soup | Life is Good...

Hello Friends! Thanks for staying with me this week as I share some of my Jillibean Soup layouts from the past few months.  The layout I am sharing today was created from the Spicy Social Soup collection.

 

"Life Is Good"

 

products used: cs - American Crafts; pp - Jillibean Soup (Spicy Social Soup); other - Jillibean Soup: pea pod parts, soup labels, clear stamps; tools - typewriter, ink.

 

Some of my favourite products from Jillibean Soup are the Pea Pod Parts.  Otherwise known as die-cuts! The ones from the Spicy Social Soup collections are especially fun and can be applied to so many different situations!

 

 

Here I've used them to enhance the story between my teen & tween! I have built them up in layers both on and around my photo.  I've even included some soup labels (stickers) and fussy cut elements from the patterned papers.

 

 

 

Another fave product that I've used on my page are the clear stamps.  

 

 

The hashtag stamps will win me over every. single. time!

 

 

 

Thanks again for visiting me here today. Please come back tomorrow for my final Jillibean Soup Lovefest instalment - cards!

 

 



Jillibean Soup | 12...

Have you ever noticed that every now and then Jillibean Soup offer some awesome free cutfiles?? This layout was created with our designer challenge in mind. And this fun freebie resulted in some stunning creations over at the Jillibean Soup blog.

 

I decided to use the negative space from the cutfile to share the story of my son's twelfth birthday.

 

"12"

 

products used: cs - American Crafts; pp - Jillibean Soup (Cold Avocado Soup); alphas - Jillibean Soup Alphabeans (mushroom gray); other - Jillibean Soup: wood veneer, soup labels, coordinating label stickers; tools - date stamp, typewriter.

 

 

While I had this file open in my silhouette program, I dragged some of the pie pieces out from the circle shape. I wanted to exaggerate the slices to resemble pieces of cake.

 

 

I backed each negative shape with a coordinating patterned paper and layered my photo on top. My journaling was typed directly onto the back ground cardstock and the wood veneers were inked before being attached to my page.

 

Thanks again for joining me here today. I hope you will come back tomorrow to see some more Jillibean Soup love!!

 

 

 



Jillibean Soup | Family...

Hello Friends!  This week I am having a little Jillibean Soup Lovefest! *grin* I have a few layouts to share that have somehow slipped under the radar!  Eeeek!  SO I have decided that I will take it upon myself to correct this error over the next few days.

 

First up I want to share with you these fabulous wire words!

 

I use them regularly and in fact, I've almost gone through all of the ones I have in my stash! They are quite delicate, light weight and I love to attach them directly to my layouts using a strategically placed cross stitch or two.

 

"Family"

 

products used: cs - American Crafts; pp - Jillibean Soup (Birthday Bisque); other - Jillibean Soup: wire words, mini placemat, wood sprinkles, enamel stars, wooden nickles, soup labels, kraft tape; embroidery thread; tools - typewriter.

 

 

I also love using them in lieu of alpha titles.

 

Thanks for visiting me here today!  I hope you will re-join me tomorrow for some more Jillibean Soup love...x
