Guest Designer Belinda Venables

Happy Wednesday!  We're back today with our Guest Designer Belinda Venables!  Some supplies that Belinda can't live without are patterned paper, kraft cardstock, a black zig writer and Dymo.  Here's some more fun facts about Belinda: 

*She likes to clean as she goes when scrapping.  As she cuts tape, she throw it away.  As she cuts paper, she puts it back in the box it came from.  Her tip:  Keeping things clean and tidy as you go will make it easier to find things and take less time to pack up at the end!  (hhhmmm, maybe I should try that!)

*She prefers sweet snacks while she scraps...chocolate all the way!

*She likes both music and TV while she creates.  She usually is sitting in front of her iMac, so she either has something playing on itunes or watching something online.

*Her favorite Jillibean collection is blossom soup, but she loves to mix and match papers and embellishments from a mix of ranges.

*Her favorite soup (as in eating) is.....PUMPKIN SOUP!

For more about Belinda and to see more of her work, check out her blog.  But first, see what she has for us today!:)

Random Friday Talk...

Happy Friday!  The days have all been running together for me but it's nice to say "Happy Friday"!  :) 

I had an interesting day yesterday - visiting the Customs and Border Control office here in Columbus.  Our Epoxy buttons come from overseas and they've had some issues with the manufacturing process.  In order to get them here without any further delays, I had them shipped via air direct to Ohio.  Well, they ended up on a commercial flight and then to an unknown warehouse.  I had to spend the morning at the Customs office waiting for the paperwork to get processed and prove that the product was indeed "Chipboard Epoxy Buttons".  Have you ever tried to explain to an older gentleman what chipboard is, how it's used, how it's diecut, what epoxy is, what it's purpose is, what you'll do with the so-called-buttons and how they're not for clothing but for papercrafts.  Oh, and when Jillibean Soup shows up on something from overseas - it confuses everyone!  Buttons and Soup just don't go together!  ;)  What an exciting life we lead here (a bit of sarcasm there)! 

I have a few things to share with you today.  We had a giveaway a couple Fridays ago and we never announced a winner!  Thank you to all of you for being our Facebook friend!  I love that everyone shares projects over there - even more Jillibean inspiration!
