Some Layouts and a Winner!

Hey everyone!!

I have a few layouts that went up on the Jillibean Soup blog recently that I wanted to share. The first was for a designer challenge. Jill wanted us to incorporate the new hexie stickers in a project. I loved this challenge because I love hexagons! ;-)

Fishing At The Pond

This next layout went up on the blog today and actually uses photos that I scrapbooked a long time ago. But the layout was coming apart and since these are some of my favourite photos, I decided to redo it.

A Farewell to Jillibean Soup (and a giveaway!!)

Hey everyone!!

If you saw my post here, you know that Jillibean Soup is currently accepting applications for their new design team. I have been on this team for just under two years and it is one of the best teams I have ever been on - ever!

Jill (the big bean) and Kimber (DT coordinator) are two of the nicest people you could ever meet and I have loved working with them. And the rest of the girls on the team - so fun and extremely talented! We have really become a little family in the past two years and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

With a sad heart, I have decided not to re-apply to the team for the new term. I have decided to take  a little break from some of my DT commitments to focus on other things and other hobbies. ;-)
I have just found I don't have enough time in the day to do everything, so I am just changing things up a bit! ;-)

I will definitely still be crafting and blogging and all of that.... just less assignment stuff. And you will definitely still be seeing lots of Jillibean Soup around here.... they are an awesome company with amazing product that I love to create with!

So as I say farewell to this amazing team, I thought I would share some of my favourite projects from the past almost two years that I created for Jillibean Soup!

These Are The Days   (this was part of my original application for the Jillibean DT)

Totally Happy

3D Christmas Tree

 Just Sayin' (CHA layout from the last show)

 Learning To Ride

Paper Flowers

 

The 18th Hole

 

 Cousins

I will still have a few more projects to share as I finish out this term. I can't wait to share a layout I created for later this month... it's one of my current favs!!

I also wanted to let you know that Jillibean Soup is currently celebrating their 4th birthday!! There is all kinds of celebrating going on over at the blog (with lots of giveaways!) so make sure you head over there and check it out!!

Oh and one more thing...

I have a big giveaway of assorted Jillibean Soup product right here to say thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog. I appreciate all the comments and support so much!!

Just leave me a comment on this post before next Saturday, September 15th at 11:59pm and I will randomly pick a winner to win this - plus everything that didn't fit into the picture. (I have a pizza sized box stuffed with papers, embellishments, stickers and so much more!)

(due to the size and weight of the box, this giveaway is only open to those in Canada and the USA - sorry!)

Thank you to Jillibean Soup for being one of the greatest companies I have ever worked with.

Good luck to all of you who try out for the new team!!

Steph :-)

Laughing & Playing

Hey everyone!

I have a new layout to share that went up on the Jillibean Soup blog today.
It's another 8.5 x 11, which was my preferred size when I first started scrapbooking. I tend to mainly use 12 x 12 now, but every once in awhile I like to mix it up! :-)

I love the orange / grey colour combination. One of my favourites to use on projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by -
Be back soon!! :-)

Jillibean Soup Design Team Call!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to post this quick in case you missed it:

I have been on this team for over a year and I love it!!
Amazing people to work with and awesome product - definitely give it a try if you're interested!

Good luck! :-)

Just Sayin'

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to pop in and share a layout I created for the Jillibean Soup CHA booth.
I was assigned to use papers and coordinating product from the Neopolitan Bean Bisque collection.

Just Sayin'

I love the colours and designs in this collection. Its one of my favourites from the last year.
I especially love the telephone book paper... it is such a fun design and goes with almost any paper collection.

Ok, back to camping...
Be back soon!

New Layout to Share

Hey everyone!

I have a new layout up on the Jillibean Soup blog today featuring the 'Macho Nacho' collection - one of the newer releases. Wanted to pop in and share it here:

Study Hard

Supplies:

InLinkz.com


I love all the greens, blues and greys in this collection. Perfect for masculine pages but easily adaptable into any page theme.
And the chevron and hexagon patterns are so fun!! I am completely in love with hexagons and love when I am able to incorporate them into a project.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I'll be back tomorrow with my montly 'A Blog Named Hero' post. I have a couple of new cards to share inspired by some Hero Artists. :-)

New Jillibean Soup Stamps!

I wanted to share some of my favourite releases from Jillibean Soup at the summer CHA show that just ended. One of the things that I am most excited about is the new stamps! Jillibean Soup is one of the co-branded companies with Unity stamps to bring you top quality stamps in really great designs. And last week they introduced background stamps!! Now anyone that knows me knows how much I love background stamps!!

There is 4 in total:

Chevron Background

Hexagon Background (I LOVE this stamp!!)

Lattice Background

Round Flower Background

Pretty awesome eh?!? And the stamps are big enough to cover a standard 4.25 x 5.5 notecard.
There are also stamp releases to go with the new lines that came out.
You can find all of the Jillibean Soup / Unity stamps here.

You can check out all the new releases on the Jillibean Soup blog. We have 3 new lines, Soup Staples II and lots of new stickers including hexagon stickers!! Yay!!

I'll be sharing some projects with all of this great new product soon!!

Steph :-)

Some Layouts to Share

Hey everyone!

I realized the other day that it has been awhile since I have shared some layouts on my blog. I am definitely doing a lot of cards these days, but I am still scrapbooking too! And a super sweet email from a blog reader reminded me that I need to make sure I am sharing my scrapbooking as well. It means a lot that my pages have been missed! :-)

So I have a few layouts in progress on my desk right now that I will share soon, but in the mean time, I have a few layouts that I created for Jillibean Soup that I haven't shared here yet.

Every Picture Tells A Story

A rare layout that actually includes photos of me - lol!! This one was created for one of our designer challenges and the challenge was to scrapbook about ourselves. And that is my sweet puppy Molly in the photos.
