This is for my daughter’s 11^th birthday so I wanted to create something that had 11 spaces for gift “coupons”.  I used 10 envelopes to create an accordion type booklet attached them to the middle section of a 3 part folding cover.  To hold the 11^th gift which was special, I made a simple pocket on the inside right cover.  A variety of circle sprouts were as tabs for each envelope.  I made inserts for each space out of a variety of Jillibean Soup kraft papers.  I cannot wait to give it to her and we will go and do each activity on her birthday, I’ll take pictures and adhere them to the back of the inserts…instant birthday album.  For instance, one coupon is for a manicure so I’ll put a picture of her getting her nails done on the back of that insert.  

Have a good one!

Free for All Friday... It's Bean Chase time!

Let's play!

If you haven't played before, Bean Chase is a game we play here on the Bean Talk blog.  All you have to do is locate the Bean Chase emblem on one of our Design Team Member's blogs.  I'll give you 3 clues about the person to help you on the chase.  Once you find it, leave a comment and you'll be in the running for some fun Jillibean Soup supplies!

Here are the clues...

1. This person is inspired by "Pottery Barn Catalogs".

2.  This person's 3 top papercrafting supplies are her "Paper Trimmer, Wallet Sized photos, Alpha stickers of every kind".

3.  Something you would never know about this person..."I was ranked in the top 10 among Jr. Ski Racers."

Links to our Design Team are on the left.  Click on the person's name and you will travel through cyberspace to their personal blog.  There are a couple of members that do not have blogs yet so the link will bring you back here.  Have fun playing!

Good Luck!

Soup Spotting on Wednesday 6.24.09

I just spent a few minutes searching the web for some great Jillibean Layouts.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

 

Just Jealous by Debbi Tehrani

I love the texture and playfulness on this. Also, check out how she outlined her Alphabeans. I've seen this a few times and really like it.

Check out her blog-Debbie Scraps!

 

Sweet Indulgence by Melanie Blackburn

Mel has been a supporter of Jillibean Soup since day 1. I came across her latest layout and love how she combined the Kraft and White based papers.  A perfect combination for this page!

Check out more on Mel's blog-Random Ramblings.

 

Where by Debbie Standard

Debbie added so many cool touches to this layout. She added glitter and color to the butterflies and gems to make them sparkle even more.

Such a sweet layout about her granddaughter.

Check out more of Debbie's work here.

Have a great one!

Bean Stalks: Brown/Natural Ribbon (twine)

other: Quickutz diecut letters, Misc. craft bag, Misc. craft icon, Bazzill cardstock, Fiskars corner rounder

About the project:
For this simple masculine gift bag, I first covered the front of the bag with a cut-to-size sheet of Brown Sugar. I then turned the sketch 90 degrees and placed the three 'photos' horizontally across the bag using matted squares of patterned paper. For the title, I placed the sentiment 'Good Luck' and added 'Dude' at the bottom of the bag. Instead of the three suggested embellishments on the sketch, I used one large embellishment for my project.
