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:

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. :-)

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.

Have a great weekend!

Teacher Notecards

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share the notecards I created for the kids teachers this year. I started making these notecard sets a few years ago. I like that its something they can use and has that personal touch. And my kids have had pretty awesome teachers so far in their academic careers so I really like being able to say thank you whenever possible.
This year I had 2 dilemmas when trying to come up with a design... a male teacher and a repeat teacher. I wasn't sure about a notecard set for a guy teacher but then I thought, they need to write notes too right? And my son has the same teacher that my daughter had the first year I did the cards so I wanted to come up with a design that was different from the first ones.

So this is what I came up with:

I kept the design pretty simple so it would work for both a guy and girl. And to make the notecards even a little cooler, I added book titles that the teacher actually likes. Thought it was a fun personal touch. :-) For the rest of the books, I just used different stamps that I thought worked well for the book spines. And the awesome book diecuts are from one of my favourite This & That kits from Kerri Bradford. I LOVE her diecuts and kits. I definitely recommend her store if you have a diecutting machine like the Silhouette. I really like her titles for my layouts - use them all the time.
