It's Friday and YAY to that! It's been a long week here at Jillibean Soup! I think I've lost my mind! ;)
Anyhow, it's Free for All Friday so I wanted to tell you about some things that are going on around here!
As you know, we've got our Millionth Sprout Celebration going on right now. We've started shipping the new sprouts and yes, 3 of those packages have "golden" sprouts in them!!!! If you purchase one of the lucky "golden" sprout packages you win $100 of Jillibean product! And (get this), the store that you purchased your winning sprout from wins $300 of Jillibean product!
Also, we will announce a Sprout Project Contest next Friday. What's this, you ask? Well, we want to see how innovative you can be! What's the coolest way to use the Jillibean Journaling Sprouts? The contest will run for 4 weeks so you'll have plenty of time to visit your favorite retailer and pick up some of the new sprouts (you do not need to use new sprouts for the contest entries).
Here are a couple of older (but favorite) sprout projects...
Me Layout -the sprouts are layered with foam dots and look more like flowers. The journaling is printed on patterned paper and adhered on top of the sprouts.
Snowman card - sprouts were used to make the snowman's body.
Leah Layout - again the sprouts are layered to add dimension to the layout. The large sprout has the title on it.
Birdie gift card holder - the sprout was used as a "tag".
We'll have plenty of sprout projects to share on the blog in the next couple of months as well as a tutorial or two for different uses of the sprouts.
One last thing...do you want to WIN some sprouts NOW??? If so, leave us a comment. We'll pick a winner Monday morning. The winner will receive 6 packs of sprouts!
Good Luck!
How fun that you're doing a "golden ticket" giveaway! Love that idea!

I can't tell you how much I love Journaling Sprouts - they're sooooo helpful in embellishing AND journaling! I've always loved looking at them at the store but I've never gotten any... But after looking at all the cute projects, I think I might try! Even if I don't win the giveaway (I never do :-)) I WILL go to my LSS and pick some up!! lol.

Love Jillibean products, I have every piece I could find in our area but for whatever reason our LSS stores don't carry a very large supply of it, I would love to win a gift package.
