Bean Talk

Layouts on Thursday

I've got a few fun, simple and fabulous layouts today from Design Team Members Laura, Linda and Shannon.

Enjoy!

Chicks Dig You by Shannon Zickel

 

Supplies:

Jillibean Soup

Patterned Paper: Minestrone/Chopped Tomatoes, Cannellini Beans, Thin Zucchini, Elbow Macaroni and Coordinating Papers;  Cream of Mushroom/ Half and Half

Alphabeans: Really Red

BeanStalks:  Brown Twine

Journaling Sprouts: Black Circle on Kraft

Other: American Crafts brads and pen, Colorbox ink

Designer Note:  I used the Save the Date element from the coordinating paper to punch out the circle that the J is layered over...  I love making my own embellishments by layering punched elements, stickers etc.  great way to add dimension to a page on the cheap! 

...on the EDGE by Linda Harrison

Supplies:
Jillbean Soup
Patterned Paper: Split Pea Collection/Green Peas, Chicken Stock
Bean Stalks: Orange Polka Dot and Red/Black Ribbon (Twine)
Alphabeans: Bean Brown
Bean Seeds: Harvest Medium and Spring Fling Small

other: Diecut Letters: Quickutz, Cardstock: Bazzill, Chipboard Stars: Heidi Swapp, Brads: Making Memories, Button: Basic Grey, Font: ErasDemiITC

Designer Note: For this layout, I cut the large star out of a sheet of the patterned paper and used it for the main embellishment on the page. I followed the theme by adding a few chipboard stars that I secured to the layout with silver brads. I wanted the main part of the title to look like part of the 'edge' of the light green cardstock, so I used diecut letters to create that part of the title and tucked them up under the cardstock matte. I adhered the star onto the layout with foam squares so that I could easily tuck the photos, ribbon and journal strips underneath. I finished the star with some felt flowers, twine and one button.

Thankful by Laura Vegas

Supplies:
Jillibean Soup:

Pattern Paper: Minestrone (Cannellini Beans, Elbow Macaroni)
Alphabeans: Bean Brown

other: Stampin Up scallop punch, Heidi Swapp brads, string

 

Designer Note: These photos were originally on 2 different layouts that I had started years ago and never finished. I love that I could pull them off and create just one layout with them. I simply trim them to form a collage on white cardstock.

Have a great one!
 

Soup Spotting on Wednesday 4.29.09

Another week and more fantastic projects by YOU using Jillibean Soup.

Wild Thing by Tricia Wilson. I spotted this one over at SIS TV. I was drawn to the bold punches of color and the pictures placed in the center of the sprouts.

This layout, Turning 1 by Rebecca Keppel was spotted at Create My Keepsake. I love how she cut out the trees and have them popping off the page.

 

Family in Maui by Shari Suzuki using the White Bean collection. The colors work perfectly for her photo!

Both this layout and card were spotted by our Netherland based DT member Ingrid. They are created by Peter van Tilburg. We are loving this young man's talents!

XO! card by Ellen S. was spotted at 2peas. I love how she used one of the coupons from the 'B' side of the minestrone papers to create the card.

Love you Card by Grace Ma. The POP of pink against the chocolate and kraft is perfect! Notice the touches of glitter and shine she added to her butterflies as well! Gorgeous!

Whew! That's a lot of fabulous projects for this week!

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
If you have a project you'd like to share with us, please email me at kimber@jillibean-soup.com.

Have a great one!

Soup Spotting on Wednesday

On Wednesday's we will post some fun projects we have spotted around the web. If you have made something fun with Jillibean goodies, link us up!

Here are a few I spotted over at Two Peas in a Bucket.

 

 

2 amazing cards by Danni Reid. I am in love with the little birdie and how she cut them out and used them on both cards. She has so much texture and interest with the pulled up edges and layers. Beautiful!

Hope by Juliana Michaels
The Minestrone collection remains a very popular line and this layout show cases the fun stripes and stars in a great way!

 

Naming You by Francine Clouden
I love how Francine used all the Alphabeans as the main product focus on her layout about naming her soon to be born son. An unique way to use up some of those alphas that are left on a sheet.

 
This frog layout by Rita S. is just so cute but, has a great message about 'being green' (and not about frogs) :)
I can't resist those little frogs on the Whitebean collection.

Please link us up if you have played with the Soup! Send your projects to kimber@jillibean-soup.com.  We'd love to see your work!

Have a great one!
