Greetings from the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Chantilly, Virginia!!!! If you're in the area and you don't have plans to stop by - you should! Kimber McGray is teaching a couple fantastic card classes - I think they still have some seats! We're doing make n' takes at the booth - good stuff! Btw...did I tell you it was a 100 degrees yesterday while we were setting up? Yikes!
I have a couple of things to share today and if you keep reading down you might see a GIVEAWAY!
First, there's still time to get in on this month's sketch contest. Here's Nicole's fabulous layout:
And here's Nicole's fabulous sketch:
Multiple photos, a cute banner, some simple journaling and viola! Once you finish your project you can either send a photo to jen@jillibean-soup.com or post it on our Facebook Fan page (hit that button over there on the left). Thank you to everyone that's already participated!
Second up, our friends at Scrapbook & Cards Today in Canada are celebrating their Summer Issue release TODAY!
Starting Monday they will have 12 days of GIVEAWAYS (one day will be Jillibean Soup)!!! Make sure to head on over! If you've never been to their blog, you've got to check it out...they have fabulous inspiration from amazing designers! Some you may know from the Bean Talk blog :)
Next up - I want to give you a heads up on an upcoming SALE in the consumer store. You won't want to miss out on some great deals! Check back next week!
Finally, I think I mentioned a GIVEAWAY!!!!! Does everyone LOVE the new alpha font from the last release?
If so, we've got 5 NEW Colors!!! I can't share the NEW colors just yet, but I can offer them up as a GIVEAWAY!!! 5 NEW Alphabeans that no one else has even seen yet!!!! You in? If so, leave a comment below... are you an alpha hoarder like me? What do you do with your "leftover" alphas?
Good Luck! We'll pick a winner next week! Oh, and I'll have a SNEAK to share!
Have a great weekend everyone!
I love alpha stickers and embellishments. This is a great prize! Thanks for the chance to win.

I have heard about these Jillibean alphabets, but haven't actually seen them yet. Look like a great size to hoard.

Yes, I am an alphabet hoarder. I use my left over letters on cards. Now I just wish that I had more friends whose first name begins with Q!

I have so many alphas it's ridiculous, but I can never resist! I love the look of these ones too!

I'm also an alpha hoarder . I just love all of them. I use them for cats layouts and to make unusual embellisments. Thank you for a chance to win. Love JilliBean Soup !

oh i love these alphabets!!

I'm totally an alpha hoarder! :) I love them, but I use them a ton too.
When I really love a color or font I get creative cutting up my less used letters and making them into letters I've already used up.

I LOVE alphas!! I use the left-overs for various projects---kids, altered art, mixed media, etc...LOVE them. Can never get enough! These look like they would fit rather nicely in my collection. :)

Well love sneaks so my eyes will be glued to the blog. Also Love me some alph'a especially the size of yours works perfect on cards and for subtitles on layouts. Thanks for giving me a chance to win these.

I NEED all the alphabeans! Please send them my way! And thanks for the chance!
Posted by: jennifer | June 22, 2012 at 08:41 AM
I do like alpha stickers a ton! I like to mix and match my letters, so there is less leftovers! I can't wait to see what the other colors are! Love the green!
Posted by: Angela A | June 22, 2012 at 08:50 AM
i hear you) turn those q's into o's or b's )) that would be easy with those Jillbean soup stickers you are giving out)) Thanks for the chance to win!

Can't wait to see the new colors, I love alpha sticker. I usually used leftover on school LO.
Posted by: Julie Comeau | June 22, 2012 at 08:59 AM
I turn the left overs into the letters that I don't have anymore like x into y by cutting the other tail :)

I have just recently become an alpha-hoarder. And since I'm new to this alpha-hoarding business I don't know what I'll do with the extras get. BUT, I did see a sweet idea, someone (don't remember who) used hers to do a pattern on a card, layout, frame, or mini-album cover. I thought it was a very clever idea.
Posted by: Shereen | June 22, 2012 at 09:15 AM
I live the alpha letters. Like others I try and get creative and turn them into letters I need. Can't wait to see the new colors.
Posted by: conniemelancon | June 22, 2012 at 09:15 AM
Did someone say new alphas? I am so an alpha hoarder! I keep my extra letters and then use them on a project to make it look like a ransome note with all different fonts and colors - fun times! Thanks 4 the chance!
Posted by: Christine S. | June 22, 2012 at 09:17 AM
I hoard them too, love the new colors...I use the leftovers for starting a word or creating a different letters! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Cathy | June 22, 2012 at 09:19 AM
Love alphas! I'm a total hoarder - have way too many, and never seem to be use them up! Can't wait to see the new colors...
Posted by: Cyndee K. | June 22, 2012 at 09:20 AM
I love the green alpha pictured. You can never have too many alphas. thanks for the chance to win
Posted by: Bethany Becker | June 22, 2012 at 09:22 AM
This alphabet font and size is perfect! Would love to win them in all of the mystery colors! Thanks for the chance!
Posted by: Tiffany M | June 22, 2012 at 09:24 AM
I "collect" alphabets shamelessly. Although I have a die cutter that I could cut alphas with, there's just something about reaching into a drawer full of precut letters that's a lot easier and fun to see all the colors. Thanks for the chance to win!
