Jillibean Soup | Card & Layout

Hey all!

I thought I would stop in and share a layout and a card that were on the Jillibean Soup blog recently!

The card is made using the Sightseeing Stew collection...

You can find the card on the Jillibean Soup blog HERE, along with a list of products used.

Lots and lots of stitching on this one! ;)

And the layout shows off lots of different pieces of Jillibean!

You can find this on the Jillibean Soup blog HERE along with a list of products used.

I love stitching on the placemats! I tried my hardest to make the circle mat look like a soccer ball, can you tell?? lol

That's all for today!

Thanks!

Jillibean Soup | card & layout

Today I am sharing a couple of projects that were up on the Jillibean Soup blog this week. The first is a card, which you can find HERE. The second is a layout, which posted on the blog HERE.

Here is my card:

 I just love the butterflies from the Wooden Shape Assortment(Stampables), along with the doily!! I stacked the butterflies for added dimension, and lined the edges with a white gel pen. I also used the gel pen to color in the word "HEART" from the stamped sentiment.

And here is my layout using the Sightseeing Stew collection:

I just love this collection! The colors are so fun, and all the embellishments are just perfect for our photos of going on a little trip to get my new car!

You will find all the usual suspects on this one: layering, stitching, stapling, clustering, and the added stamping.

That's it for today! 

Be sure to check back tomorrow for the fun blog hop with Elle's Studio and the Hip Kit Club!!

Jillibean Soup | card + layout

This week over at the Jillibean Soup blog, I have had a few projects go up, and I am going to share them with you all today.

On Monday I had a fun Birthday card shared...

I used the Birthday Bisque collection for this one and just love it! So simple and cute, yet perfect for anyone!!

And yesterday I had a layout up!!

I had so much fun putting this layout together! I just love the white on white background with the stitched placemat! For this one, I used the Spicy Social Soup collection....obviously perfect for a young one who recently started an Instagram account!! ;)

That's all for today!

Jillibean Soup | PageMaps layout (+ a card)

Have you all checked out this month's PageMaps reveal??

I was lucky enough to get to play along with one of the sketches as Jillibean Soup was the Guest DT for this reveal!!

Here is the sketch that I was sent:

And here is my take on it, using the Birthday Bisque Collection:

It was such a fun sketch to play with, and it lent itself perfectly to the Birthday Bisque collection!
You can see all of the sketches, along with the Jillibean DT samples HERE.



I also had a card go up yesterday on the Jillibean Soup blog for the Designer's Challenge: Jillibean Silhouette Shapes. You can see the post HERE.

Since I do not have a Silhouette (cameo or portrait), I relied on some of the fab Jillibean Soup products to use in place of a silhouette cut. The Mini Placemats and Wise Words sentiment stickers were perfect! :)

Okay, that's all from me today!!
Have a good one!

National Scrapbooking Day | Jillibean Soup

Happy National Scrapbooking Day with Jillibean Soup!!!

The DT for Jillibean is sharing their favorite project created as a design team member, and as I have only had a few projects go live, I had a pretty easy pick! haha!

 I chose this layout because it has so many elements that I love. Angled background, layering, stitching, the stitched circle. I also just love these sweet pictures of my boys fishing with the beautiful sun in the background. The Irish Farmhouse Soup collection is one of my favorite collections from Jillibean Soup, too. So, it all really makes sense that I love this layout! :)

How about a giveaway???

Yes?!!??!

I am giving away a Birthday Bisque Collection Pack!!

This is such a fun, bright and overall amazing collection!!

For a chance to win this collection pack, please leave a comment on this post. You have until Monday, May 5th, midnight (EST) to comment!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Have a wonderful NSD!!!

Jillibean Soup | layout and a card

I had a couple projects up this week on the Jillibean Soup blog!

This card was shared Monday. I used the Irish Farmhouse Soup collection. LOVE it! Definitely one of my all time Jillibean Soup collections.

And, this layout was shared Thursday. Another one with Irish Farmhouse Soup. Seriously obsessed with these colors and prints. I love this layout. The circle stitch is very popular now, and I just love the look of it!

Jillibean Soup | projects

I thought I would pop in and share a few of my Jillibean Soup projects that were up on the blog last week.

This card was shared on the Jillibean Soup blog HERE.
This color combo is seriously amazing! And, the added kraft from the frame just makes it even better!

This layout was shared HERE. I just love the Wise Words stickers, and loved them combined with some Alphabeans. Made for a wonderful title.

Jillibean Soup | Introduction & Layout

My introduction was up at the Jillibean Soup blog on Tuesday! Yay! I was introduced with a few a-maz-ing designers. You can see that post HERE.

I shared a fun layout with my introduction, using the Irish Farmhouse Soup collection, Corrugated Alphas, Placemat frames, Alphabeans and Wise Words stickers.

I loved putting this layout together. Lots and lots and lots of triangles! ;)

I love mixing fonts for titles, and I have held on to these corrugate alphas for too long. They screamed "use me!!" lol

Lots of stitching and layering...

The new DT is getting introduced throughout the month, so be sure to stop by and say Hi!
