Jillibean Soup Announcement

So there is big, big news over at the Jillibean Soup Blog today! They just posted their 2011 Design Team and Guest Design Team you can find it here.

Drum roll please........I have been asked to be a guest designer!!! Wooo-Hooo, happy dance. I am over the moon excited and honored to be considered for such an invitation. I love Jillibean Soup and can't wait to see what the new year will bring. In honor of the announcement I thought I would share a few of my favorite Jillibean Soup layouts with you. They are not the ones I submitted for the dt application, I will save those for later ;)

This one is titled "My Sweet Honeybee" it features photos of my very busy boy and the Jillibean Soup line of Atomic Soup with some Kraft Staples/Brown Pea Pod, Green Sugar Staples and Summer Squash/Gold Potatoes paper. There are Speckled Egg  Alphabeans, bakers twine, a kraft journal sprout and a Sugar Pick too.

This is a fun review of the year of 2010 using the scrumptious Pasta Fagioli line with some Coredinations cardstock and corrugated arrows thrown in.



This remains one of my all-time favorites- "Snugs", mostly due to the fantastic photo of my two babies! This one using the classic Old World Cabbage line (love it!) with some Pasta Fagioli/Meatballs, kraft journal sprout, bakers twine and corrugated buttons thrown into the mix.



Thanks for stopping by and sharing my big news! Have a great weekend!

Big News!

I found out Wednesday night that I had made my first design team! I have been applying to teams for months now and so I am very excited to be chosen for this one. It is perfect for me because it combines two of my favorite crafts, scrap booking and rubber stamping. It is an online blog called Scrap & Stamp you can click on this link to see the announcement. There were six new members chosen, four of which are international! So I will be designing with an international team that includes: USA, South Africa, Belgium, Italy and Singapore- how cool is that? Did I mention I was excited? Anyway speaking of layouts including both scrapping and stamping my last class at B&B Scrapbooks had a layout with both. It was on Thursday and was my biggest class yet and we had tons of fun. Here is the layout we did and the cards:

This was definitely my favorite class project to date, I love how this Bo Bunny Mama-razzi paper was made for black and white photos. I also must give a shout out to Joan from my class, she had the most amazing vintage photos of her aunt from the 1920's and 1930's and they looked stunning on this layout. I must get a photo and share with you sometime. Anyway, gotta run. We are still trying to finish prepping the house for showings and Gabe just finished his breakfast. :)
