Hey Jillibean peeps - where you been this week? Actually, I can see that you've stopped by but no one is commenting. :( The girls love it when you leave a comment about their work - they do such amazing stuff! I would appreciate it if you can send them some love!
Now, onto Friday. I've got a couple of things to share today...
If you didn't see last Friday's post, we are offering up our Designer Challenge to YOU! Each month, we have a new Designer Challenge with our Design Team (in the past we've used Bakers Twine, Scrapbooking Yourself, Room Inspiration, etc...). This month we're focused on Buttons! Who doesn't love buttons? I have several stashes. :)
The cool thing is we want YOU to get involved this month! Besides winning some great Jillibean products - you'll get to be featured as a Guest Designer on the Jillibean blog so thousands of people can see your work! If you're interested in playing along, either post your projects on Facebook or send them to jen@jillibean-soup.com by April 30th. We'll pick a winner shortly after!
Speaking of winners... let's pick the winners of the Scrapbook & Cards Today Spring Issues!
First winner is Jodi!!!

Ladies, when you get a minute, can you e-mail your mailing info to patty@jillibean-soup.com so she can get your goodies out to you? Congrats and thank you to everyone that participated!!!
Remember, Kimber and I will both be at their Crop & Create event next weekend in Moncton! Hope you can join us!
I have a couple of Soup Spots to share too... Every once in a while I'll get a handmade card in the mail, or given to me by a friend. Most of the time it's made with Jillibean because everyone is too afraid to give me something made by another manufacturer... kidding - not everyone :). Anyhow, I'd like to share a card that Patty (works in our office and is our Card Kitchen Kit gal) gave me last week. I LOVE it and love how she made everything 3-D.
Also, I want to Soup Spot a kit from our friends at Apron Springs! Once again they had some Jillibean goodies in their Smaller Than A Breadbox Kit this month (I see Chicken Dumpling)! Looks like you get 3 different lines of papers from 3 different companies and some goodies to go with them! Fun!

I think that's it for today. Next week I'll share the March Designer Challenge - it's fun and will make you think outside the box!
Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy the sunshine!



















Patty, that card is gorgeous!!!
