Jillibean Soup!

March 13, 2010 By JulieK

If you haven't seen the Jillibean Soup papers (and I also got some of their corrugated alphabets) you're missing out!! These papers are just fabulous!! I got a newsletter from a local scrapbook store that they got these fabulous papers in, and 2 days later I read that Jillibean Soup was having a Design Team Call! What a perfect excuse to "have" to go to the scrapbook store!! They wanted to see 2 layouts/and or/2 cards/ and or/ 1 project… Well, once I got scrapping, I couldn't stop… So, I made everything :) Here's what I came up with… I hope they like them!

This Layout uses the beautiful Jillibean Soup patterned papers, the alphas are cut using QuicKutz Katie and Santa's Workshop, the QuicKutz Grass die, and the Martha Button Punch with a little bit of May Arts twine.

The kids had a FABULOUS time riding around the back yard in their own little car… Jillibean Papers, Jillibean Corrugated Letters, a few little brads and Bazzil Cardstock.

More of those fabulous Corrugated Letters (I bought all the colors the store had :) ), plus a scrap of the Jillibean Soup paper and Kraft… LOVE their Kraft!!

Who could resist those springy papers for a fun birthday card?? Not me :) A little piece of sheer ribbon set off the beautiful Jillibean Soup Patterned Papers!

And… My Favorite… A few pages from a little mini-book for Kathryn's 6th Birthday… Fabulous Jillibean Papers, a ColorBok chipboard book, some Maya butterflies, Prima Felt Flowers, and a package of Junkitz buttons that have been sitting in my craft stuff for years, just waiting for the "right" project :) The fonts on the cover are QuicKutz Rainbow (happy) and Katie (6)

Wish me luck!! I would be just THRILLED beyond measure to be chosen as a part of their team!!

Here's a new project… For my Zutter Club ladies… If you want to be surprised at the next Zutter club, stop reading now :) I used coasters, of course my Zutter Bind it All :) Cosmo Cricket patterned paper, the new-ish QuicKutz Katie Cookie Cutter alpha and a few other little doo-dads… There's also patterned paper on the back side, so you can keep it on your desk or wherever you want :) Photos are from our trip last summer to Washington DC… At the National Zoo :)

Another Happy Birthday!

But this little set was for my munchkin, who's now 6 !!! She wanted a "pretty birthday frame" I had an alterable frame in the drawer, so I picked a few papers and dimensional stickers, and I made a matching card, envelope and gift bag… Can't wait to put her birthday pic in the frame… She just loved it!

Tonight’s Zutter Class!

January 19, 2010 By JulieK

Here's a little peek at tonight's Zutter Club project :) I made this book using acrylic covers, some Webster's Pages beautiful papers, my Sizzix tree (gasp!) and then took my Bind it All and all my Christmas Cards from this year and put them together… I made a similar book last year… It was so much fun to look through all of last years photos and cards, and to make a new installment :) The photo cards are mounted on some coordinating cardstock before being punched.

We all know that I just love my Zutter Bind it All! I'm so lucky to have been on their Original Zutter Zisters Team… AND also thankful that they've keeps us "Originals" on the team… Over on the Zutter message board, we're posting projects for the 12 days of Christmas :) Come on over and check out the fun!!! ZUTTER MESSAGE BOARD ON NING My project is for the 5th day of the challenge, and it's a little mini-ablum that can be used to give a gift card (or 2) and then the reciever can put a couple photos in and keep it as a keepsake and decoration! I used the 4×4 clipboard covers, a couple pieces of pretty papers, a few buttons, and some ribbon… A 1/2 inch Zutter OWire and of course the Bind it All :) Here's a few photos… The "be jolly" is QuicKutz :) Simply tuck the gift card in the inside pocket (or you could print up little "coupons" for fun things, an evening out, or give movie tickets and babysitting to a friend who has children.. the possibilites are endless…
