Hope you're having a great week and have some fun plans for the weekend! We start school on Monday so we have some last minute shopping to do. I remember when I was a kid, I loved school shopping. We didn't get clothes other than on Christmas and new clothes for school so it was such a treat!
I've got some news and updates for everyone!
First up... this is a friendly reminder that we are having a Design Team Call right now! We've received several fantastic submissions already. If you would like to apply, you still have time!
Second, did you see some of Kimber's sneak peeks for the September Card Kitchen kit? This is perfect for our birthday celebration (read below)...
Next, the natives have told me that we totally missed our June sketch winner!!!! I apologize for this! We were in the midst of CHA in July so it must have got lost in the chaos. My apologies to all those that worked with the sketch!
Just a reminder of what the sketch looked like:
And here's our winner! Congrats Rachel Theall!!!!
Love your take on the sketch Rachel! Thank you everyone for participating and thank you for your patience! Rachel will get to spend $50 bucks in the Jillibean retail store!
Finally, you'll want to keep up with the Bean Talk blog in September! We are planning a birthday celebration for Jillibean Soup! Jillibean turns 4!!! We'll have a birthday card competition and our retail stores can compete for a birthday party for their store!
We would not be able to celebrate 4 years without YOU! Thank you bunches for the great support this past 4 years!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!



















Congrats Rachel--Love your layout! :)
I have my design team submission all completed. I just need to finish taking photos and compile it into an email. I'm so excited and have had so much fun working on it!!! :)

I would love to apply for the design team but primarily do cards and 3d items. I was wondering if this type of application would be acceptable.
Thanks!
