Jillibean Soup + Pagemaps

It's October!!! Man, can you believe it is fall already. We sadly did not have much of a summer up here in my part of Canada... when we did, our family was off in Florida, so I guess I can't complain too much right?

I am stopping by today to share a page that I did for Jillibean Soup + Pagemaps!

Pagemaps is full of Jillibean Soup designs in their October newsletter... here is my take on the sketch I was sent by Becky Fleck using tons of NEW Jillibean Soup.

I used a simple white circle placemat with various papers from the Soup Staples III collection to create my page.
I added in lots of the new file cards and even new Jillibean Soup glitter and wood sprinkles into the mix.

 

How cool is that new - old school - hello wire word?? I love it! Will be hoarding those for sure.

If you don't have the October Pagemaps in your inbox yet - hop on over to the Pagemaps site and check out all the DT work with the sketches this month!

While you are there, you can also check out my PageMapsU classes that are available!

Page Maps + Carta Bella!

Good morning!! I am mid-way into a crazy week of holiday parties, Christmas concerts and someone is having her 40th birthday this week.. *gag* I am officially OLD.

I am super exicted to be sharing a page I did for Kaitlin Shaeffer using one of her lines for Carta Bella WITH a PageMaps sketch too! Check out the PageMaps site for the full reveal with her products.

Here is my page:

 

I had a lot of fun with this page - the fun girly pink/orange ombre background is one of my favorite papers!

I love the mix of colours with a little gold thrown in for good measure, thank goodness for Heidi Swapp mist and a heat gun! I soaked it in a lot and heat set it and it almost embossed the cardstock for my title!

Anyway, I am off to work and then volunteer at the school tonight!! I will be back tomorrow with another project!! Lots to share these days :)

Bella Blvd - Sketch!!

Happy Saturday everyone!!! *knock knock* is anyone out there... :)

I am here today to share a girly page for Bella Blvd, based on a sketch from PageMaps!

I mixed up a few different collections from Bella Blvd for this page; Thankful, Sophisticates and a little Kiss Me for fun :)

I added in a few button market buttons to my chipboard title, along with some whimsical Bella Blvd feathers and crocheted hearts:

I added on a few stickers, chipboard and more buttons to finish off the page!

Check out the sketch I used and the other designer take on the Bella Blvd blog 

Ok, I am off to be the Saturday taxi driver.... a mom's job right? :)
