Lily Bee Design Chipboard Embellishments

Lily Bee Design came up with some cool chipboard embellishments at winter CHA! I can't get enough of them!!
  

Today, Summer Fullerton and I are sharing some quick cards, using these fun chipboard embellishments!

I created three cards using a mixture of all three sets of chipboard:


I have always been a fan of buttons, so the chipboard buttons were no different for me! I used a few to make little flowers in this window created with the chipboard polaroid frame and fence.



Next up, I just simply added a few quick buttons to this card to fill in a gap on the label sticker sentiment:


and lastly, I used the tiny chipboard banners/pennants to embellish the quilted pattern that I made with lots of fun scraps from Pinwheel and Sweet Shoppe paper collections.



Please stop by the Lily Bee blog to see what Summer came up with too and follow along all week, as our team shares some great creations using this new great embellishment :)

My Favorite Things

I am back again today to share another page I made using some fun dies and stamps from

My Favorite Things!

This time I really let the dies lead the way for my page - I used a die to create the background for my page and went from there:
Supplies:


I created the background for my page using the Labels and Tabs die set - I cut a whole bunch of different papers and created the background for my page. I stitched them all down onto white cardstock.

I added in some smaller labels layered with some of the stamps and a little more stitching too!
I used some different colours of ink and some of the great chevron/arrow stamps in the Right this way set by Laina Lamb (who is totally awesome by the way)

I had so much fun with these dies and the stamps this month - I am so glad to have them added to my stash - each of the sets are true "staples" and I know I will use them over and over again!

Make sure you check out the My Favorite Things blog for the details on how you could win a prize valued at up to $20 and to see what the rest of the team did this month!

Jillibean soup cards!

Quickly stopping in today to share a couple cards I made for the Jillibean Soup blog this month.

When I received my Fresh Vegetable soup stamps, I knew that I wanted to make some lanterns for this card out of the little onion in the stamp set! I stamped a few on different pieces of patterned paper and trimmed off the top onion bud:


This one was based on Kimber's fun card sketch this month. I used lots of new Jillibean stickers on it, love those pennant stickers:

Hope you are checking in on the Jillibean Soup blog these days - we have lots of fun stuff going on - tutorials, project life and more!

Playing along at Studio Calico this week!

I was asked to create a layout using one of the Studio Calico sketches posted this weekend and here was my result:


I chose to use one side of the 2 page sketch - I was drawn to the grid format and once that was done -
I went on my own from there. I used lots of my new Elle's Studio goodies I received last week, along with a lot of Studio Calico wood veneers.

The best part of this page is the quiet moment that was captured in the photo - this is VERY rare in my household!

Hope you will check out the sketches and play along this week too :)
