Moxie Fab Gingham Challenge & Coconut Lime Cards

So I wanted to join in over at Moxie Fab to their "Gingham" Challenge. I am a country girl at heart you know, and gingham is definitely my style.  So I pulled out my favorite new Jillibean Soup papers, Coconut Lime Soup and started playing. The challenge was to use gingham in an innovative way so this is the card I entered into the challenge:

I used a punched out scrap and made it into a banner piece and then layered a contrast color under it.

 This is another of my favorites of the group, it reminds me of a summer farmer's market:

Materials Used: Jillibean Soup/Coconut Lime Soup paper, pods, stickers & Bite Size Bits; Jillibean Soup/Butterfly Sugar Pick; Want 2 Scrap/red gemstones; Jillibean Soup/Red Baker's Twine

I was also lucky enough to get to teach a Jillibean Soup Card Class in Lancaster, Ohio at the Grand Re-opening of Scrapbooks 2 Cherish this weekend. I really enjoyed it and got to meet some wonderful ladies there. One of the cards we did in class was by Summer Fullerton:

 and I decided to do a few variations of that card, it is very versatile. Here are my interpretation of Summer's original:

I am really loving the summery color combo of this line right now. Let me know what you think of these cards! Hope you have a berry sweet day!
