How about some Game Day Chili?

Brrrr, it's cold here today!  A nice warm bowl of chili would warm me up!  I might have to make some for dinner. ;)  How about some fun new patterned paper from Jillibean Soup?  Check out this adorable sports-themed line on KRAFT! 

Introducing Game Day Chili...

The colors turned out GREAT on the kraft paper!  We'll have some samples next week to show!

What's That? Neopolitan Bean Bisque ... that's what it is!!!!!

Guess what?  I'm the first person to get to play with the new lines and I've been having FUN!  Cards are my thing so I've been working on cards (besides Kimber told me I wasn't allowed to do a layout for the booth) - just loving the colors and patterns of these releases. 

So, I'll stop talking now.  I think you'll love this next release - some of those trendy things mixed with a little bit of vintage.  Of course I love the "Spill the Beans" sticker. ;)  That aqua phone makes me smile too!

Take a look at Neopolitan Bean Bisque!

You know the drill - if you want to WIN it before you can BUY it, leave a comment!  Tell Kimber, it's not nice to tell the boss lady she stinks at layouts! 

Our next sneak is FRIDAY, so we'll pick a winner before it goes up!

Have a great day!
