Celebrating Summer!

Elizabeth mixes JBS products to create a simple, but oh so festive summer layout.

Hello there friends, Elizabeth here!

Today I wanted to share a layout I created for one of our summer activities! The 4th of July is one of my all time favorite holidays. I was even more excited to use my very favorite products from JBS in making this layout too!

There are lots of new things going on in my life and I couldn't wait to document this 4th as part of that! My new marriage, our new move, and 4th of July with a wonderful large family too!

What I love most about my fav's from JBS is layering! I love the fact that I can mix & match items together and they all go even if there are different themes throughout.

I liked using the punch and the note card for something other than what I would normally use it for and I turned the paper upside down to make the edge on top instead of the bottom!

That's what so wonderful about scrapping, you can create using your fav's with all the new things happening in your life too!

Supplies used:

Die-Cut and Perforated Papers - Bank Statement - Kraft

Die-Cut and Perforated Papers - Label Sheet

Vintage Mini Deck - Identify - Sentiments

Fiskars/Jenni Bowlin Squeeze Punch - Jenni's Label

Rhinestone Stars - Black

Hear Ye, Hear Ye Banner Stickers - Name, Date, Place

True Vintage - Labels

for Mom from May

May Flaum here, getting started on my Mother's Day cards with the fabulous new paper tapes from JBS.

I love layering strips of tape and then either punching, die cutting, or layering with another piece of paper in some way! I think it is a fun way to use lots of tape and I always love that I can't quite predict the exact outcome since I'll be seeing only part.

Here you can see I put strips of tape onto a piece of cream cardstock, then I took my favorite kraft JBS paper and cut a heart out so that I could layer it over the top of my tape strip paper.

I stitched around the edge (a totally optional step), then used some ink around my edges, used rub-ons for my sentiment, and stamped pieces of this album stamp that I'm loving as well.

Whether alone or together - I sure do love all of my paper tapes!

Supplies:

Die-Cut and Perforated Papers - Stamp - Kraft

Rub-ons - Printer's Block Alpha

Clear Stamp - Photo Album

Paper Tape - Bleached Woodgrain

Paper Tape - Double Chevron

Paper Tape - Houndstooth

Paper Tape - Notebook Grid

Paper Tape - Sage Lace

Paper Tape - Sideways Chevron

Scrap Vintage : Memories

I must confess I find it hard to use vintage items and ephemera in my creating, not because I cant, it is more a case of not wanting to ruin some thing that is pretty amazing in its own right! So I could be accused of being a hoarder of all things vintage, and old! ....that includes all the wonderful items that Jenni finds and includes in the amazing Antiquarian Kits!

So I have [grudgingly ....joke :)] used mostly vintage and found items from past Jenni Bowlin Studio Antiquarian kits, with the odd fabulous new release embellishment and quite possible you might spy an embellishment from an older range :) :) :)

For this particular layout I have used a vintage photo [credit The Whatevers] and used a fun mix of both vintage findings and old and new release embellishments. the black ground splash of green was made using the delicious paint Seed Packet.

Again I have used a vintage photo [credit The Whatevers], but kept it light and fresh with using the fabulous Die-cut Bank Statement paper as a background and a fresh color palette; the paint is the divine Chili Powder.

This final layout is created using a contemporary photo and a play on words from the actual book page background. I thought it was a fabulous contrast with using the title 'A little field, I'd like to have a little field', with a photo representing me living in the 'concrete jungle'. The picture of a little cottage under a tree completes the contrast perfectly.

Sooooo as you can see I have well and truly overcome my fear of using wonderful vintage items and ephemera in my creativity, I do hope you have as much fun as I did! :)

Cheers Louise :) xxx

Scrap Vintage : Legacy

That which we consider vintage now was once considered new. It didn't always have a history, but now it does, and that is exactly why I love incorporating vintage items on my layouts. These treasures -- ticket stubs, jewelry, fabric, ribbons, ledger pages -- tell stories alongside my own stories, the past mingling with a present that is bound to become the past someday. It seems only fitting, then, to create layouts featuring a mix of old and new.

The watch in the photo has been passed down to the eldest male in my husband's family for generations. Following the death of his uncle, my husband became the bearer of this legacy. When he holds this watch in his hands, he touches what the hands of his great-great-grandfather held.

Just as this timepiece bridges generations, so do the items on this page serve as bridges across time.

The JBS "Receipt" perforated paper serves as a base, since the repeated word "received" holds a special meaning, given the layout's topic. Under the die-cut numerals (which remind me not only of numbers on a clock but also of generations, moving forward) I placed a sheet of vintage ledger paper.

Another strip of ledger paper runs beneath the photo and title, under which is a pocket (taken from a JBS Naked Chipboard Album) holding the journaling.

The past is valuable, and the inclusion of vintage items on a layout affirms that.

Halloween Tags

Halloween is right around the corner and we have some wonderful ideas of using your supplies for this fun holiday. Take a look at these gorgeous Halloween tags from Shimelle Laine.

Oh, Halloween! I haven’t had a trick or treater at my door in years… but I do love a bit of Halloween crafting and any excuse for pumpkins and sweets is completely up my street. Today Jenni Bowlin Studio brings you an entire treat bag full of Halloween goodies with a blog hop – and a chance to win some JBScraftery at each stop.

This little Halloween treat project is so quick and easy and perfect to do with scraps of paper. Start with the die-cut papers in kraft, add netting and ribbons and some of Jenni’s Halloween paper cut to two inch wide pennants. Staple all the layers in place. Attach it to a gift bag or card or use as an embellishment on a scrapbook page. And of course you can dress it up even more with your favourite orange embellishments: buttons, pearls or butterflies.

Thank you Shimelle for this great idea!

Back to School - Science :)

Hello Hello :)

Today I would like to share with you I layout that I created using nearly all JBS goodness [and yes some of it is from my stash from awhile back so its a lil vintage sts LOL :)]. The inspiration for this layout comes from a TV show that I used to watch when I was younger [in the days of black and white TV and probably before some of you were born LOL] Here is a link >>>> Why is it so?

"....the ground-breaking TV series with the enigmatic Professor Julius Sumner Miller - ran on the ABC from 1963 to 1986. Professor Miller's infectious enthusiasm for physics delighted, educated and entertained generations of Australians, most of whom have at some point asked each other 'Why is it so?' in the characteristic Julius Sumner Miller voice."

I absolutely loved this show, so when it came to inspiration for a layout based on a School subject I just had to use this childhood memory as inspiration! :) :) :)

I have used the name of the TV series as inspiration for my title and how it relates to the photo is; this photo is an instagram photo that I took of me 'stepping out' on the first fabulous sunny day we had with the change of seasons; it is spring here in Australia. So my thoughts were when creating this layout;

>>>>> Why is it so? that as soon as spring comes that you have an extra spring in your step/ [sts] :)

Cheers for now :) Do hope you have enjoyed all of the Amazing Back To School JBS Inspiration for the fabulous JBS Team!!! I know I have :) :) :)

Back to School - Recess!

We have been learning a lot so far this month and I think it is time for a little playtime, a little rest, a little bit of space to run and jump and be free. A little bit of recess.

Sadly, recess seems like a lost art at so many schools. There is so much time devoted to academics that kids and teachers do not get a chance to breathe in a little fresh air and stretch their legs. I am so thankful that my girls still get this 30 minutes of free time each day, but I know plenty of kids who live nearby that do not. Sad. I remember as a kid in school having a HUGE field and playground with swings and slides and teeter totters. Do you remember those?? My girls do not even know what a teeter totter is! LOL.

I really believe in free time to play and be a kid, whether you are a kid or not doesn't matter. Acting like one every now and then really helps us stay young, don't you think?
