Before we get started with today's post I wanted to remind you all of the BIG CONTEST we have going right now. Make sure you check your favorite stores for some Jillibean sprouts. The new releases are shipping NOW! There are 3 packages out there with GOLDEN SPROUTS! You could win some great prizes for both you and your store if you find that golden sprout.
Also, get creating with sprouts because you can win $100 in cash plus Jillibean Soup goodies. All the contest details are on the left side of our blog over there <------ Check it out! We can't wait to see your projects!
Ok, onto our fabulous guest!
Help me welcome our next Guest Designer Laura Achilles! Laura created a GREAT group of projects with our latest releases from CHA Summer.
She does an amazing job of mixing, matching and layering products on both her layouts and cards. I love how her projects have so much color and vibrancy. If you've ever met Laura you would know that fits her to a T!
Make sure you pop on over to her blog to more of her fun work.

I just love Laura's work, I think she's just fabulous. How is it possible that she isn't on the Jillibean DT full time? Her style is so perfectly suited to it - hint, hint ;)
