Inspiration is EVERYWHERE! I was surfing Facebook and came across these fabulous frames by Juliana Michaels.
The papers are from the Jillibean Soup Minestrone collection. The frames from Hobby Lobby and the chipboard birds are Magistical Memories.
These are fantastic! I'd love to have something like this hanging in my living room.
If you'd like to check out more projects created by Juliana, please check out her blog.
Have a great one!
I think we are ready! We managed to get the booth up and ready in a very, very, VERY warm and humid convention hall. Every thing looks great and came together was we had hoped.
But, before we share photos from the booth, who would like to know the winner for yesterday's giveaway of the new Corrugated Alpha???

It's late and we need to get some rest. We'll be back with some more booth photos this week.
Wish us luck!
We apologize for the delay in sharing this last sneak peek. It's something Jill has been working on and it's not been the most simple of tasks. We are THRILLED to have it all come together just in the nick of time for this release. We are proud to introduce the newest Alphabean -- Corrugated Kraft.
There are 51 letters plus punctuation and numbers.
What you think? We're a bit partial but, I believe it is a great addition to the Jillibean Family. Leave a comment here by midnight for the chance to win this fab new alpha before it even hits stores. We might be able to even ship it to the winner from Sunny Florida!
Good Luck!
Tomorrow we will share some photos of the booth set up and sneaks of the projects the team has created with the fantastic new product.
Well, we have a slight delay on our last Sneak Peek item. It is actually being picked up today on our way out of town. We will post it as soon as we have a chance.
Next week will be full of projects showing the new products and the fun and festivities from CHA.
We wish all of you travel to CHA safe travels. We'll see you soon!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ooooh, we're getting down to the wire. Only 2 more days until we leave for CHA. Kimber and I are driving from Ohio. I see the giggles coming on!
2 more days means we will only have one more sneak peek after this. ;( It's been great sharing all these new goodies with all of you! Thank you for all your wonderful, supportive comments! I hope you'll see some new Jillibean in your LSS soon!
Now, anyone interested in Grandma's Christmas Crab Soup? Check it out...
This was the last of the papers to be designed. Christmas papers are not the easiest to design buuuuut, I've been playing with them and LOVE what we ended up with! The birds are back and they're ready for winter. :). If you like these as well, you have until Midnight EST to leave a comment to be included in the random draw for this line. The winner will be posted tomorrow morning.
Good Luck!
Soup Staples...what's that you ask? Staples? Huh? It's a play on ingredients - staples - like sugar, flour, butter, etc... I guess if I have to explain it than it's not as innovative as I thought. ;) The White Collection has the Jillibean Grid on one side and the Jillibean Polka Dots on the other. Anyhow, without further ado...
They're 12x12 patterned papers on both white and kraft of some of your favorite patterns! If you're interested in winning one set of each collection (that's 24 sheets), you have until Midnight EST to leave a comment to be included in the Random Draw for this line. The winner will be posted tomorrow morning.
Good Luck!
