Good Saturday!
Kimber here. It's been a long time since I've blogged on the Jillibean blog. Hope everyone is doing well!
I'm super excited that today is WORLD CARD MAKING DAY! I LOVE making cards! I can't wait to spend some time today whipping up a few for my family & friends. I hope you all can enjoy the day as well.
To kick things off, we have a prize to give away here on the blog. All you need to do is leave a comment and let me know what your plans are for the day. We'll select a winner on Monday and I will ship out your prize to you!
The prize is some of our newest goodies to be released -- Soup Staples III papers and Mix the Media Embellishments. Great pattern papers that mix and match and work great for both men and women. The embellishments are fantastic! Vellum, layered stars, butterflies and hearts, kraft tags in different shapes and sizes and finally wire words. They are great for cards! Add them to a card with mini glue dots, a bit of glue or even a few staples.
Check out some fun things happening around the web today.
Many of our team members are on the Scrapbook & Cards Today design team. They will be featured throughout the day on the SCT blog for World Card Making Day. We are giving away a few goodies with my post at 11am. Don't miss it!!!
Here's a sneak peek of my card... shhhh!
Finally, we have ventured out and into another Social Media hot zone of creativity - Instagram!
We will be kicking off this venture with World Card Making Day. Throughout Saturday, I will be posting different givaways. Simply follow us @jillibeansoup, tag us and use #jillibeansoup for different chances to win. There will be giveaways posted all day long. Make sure you are checking in often and share any projects you make tomorrow using Jillibean Soup products! I can't wait to see what you guys are creating!!!
Have a great Saturday!
Celebrating the day by making cards with my mom and my aunt!

I have a friend I've meant to do a "hugs"-card for and today is probably a very good day to actually do it. :)

Well, I am doing a little early morning inspiration gathering, but then my family has the rest of the day planned out for me-have a fall fest and a birthday party to carry my girls to, then a little work on redoing my master bedroom with the hubs when he gets off.

Happy WCMD! I'm getting ready to go out of town - drive four hours to the Dallas area for my husband's 30th high school reunion (can I get a prize for THAT?! Ha! ;) ). So- making arrangements to get my kids where they need to be and our dog boarded overnight.
Hoping to do a card or two when we return Sunday night. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome Jillibean package!
