Just Saying Hi card by Laura Vegas

 

Supplies:
Jillibean Soup
Patterned Paper: Talk Soup on Kraft (ramble), Soup Staples on White (orange sugar, olive sugar)

Journaling Sprouts: Orange Circle on White
Bean Stalks: Birds Ribbon

Other: die cut border (Doodlebug), brads (Heidi Swapp), tiny alpha stickers (Making Memories) 

 

I cut out a few of the owls from the pattern paper to use on this card. I adhered them with pop dots to a journaling sprout. Then I made little notches in the sides of the journaling sprout, and tied some twine around it. I thought it gave them the look of being perched up on a branch.

You Color My World by Laura Vegas

 

Supplies:
Jillibean Soup
Patterned Paper: Soup Staples on White (red sugar, orange sugar, yellow sugar, olive sugar, light blue sugar)

Journaling Sprouts: Black Square on White 
Alphabeans: Really Red

Other: tag, brad (Making Memories), binder clip (office supply), pen (American Crafts) 

 

I love the colors that the new soup staples papers come in. When they're all piled together on my desk, they remind me of a rainbow. So I used that idea for this card. I just cut some 1 inch strips of the basic rainbow colors and adhered them all lined up on my card.

Soup Spotting on Wednesday 8.19.09

Today I am thrilled to share with you a fun mini album created by Lori Slawinski using the new Alphabet Soup line.

Lori is a friend and fellow papercrafting business owner located in the Columbus area.  Lori teaches at B&B (one of our local scrapbook stores) and also started a kit club called Scrapscription.  Jill asked Lori if she could create some goodies for the CHA Summer Jillibean booth.  This adorable school book is one of her creations.

You can see more of Lori's awesome work at...http://scrapscription.typepad.com/.

Lori, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful project!
