Today I have a fun abc card that I made using the new apple cheddar soup line by Jillibean Soup. I really love the colors in this line combined with the cute floral, apples and plaid designs. These colors just scream Fall to me, so they are perfect for back to school themed projects.

ABC card:


I had so much fun making the banner out of Maya road chipboard banner pieces, wooden spools, and twine.

Here is a close up shot:


Did you notice the bubble cap letters? I created them with my round 14 shape studio tool from Epiphany Crafts.

Today I have some quick and easy teacher's gifts to share with you. I love giving homemade gifts to teachers and being able to show my appreciation for all they do. After all what would school be like without them?

I decided to make 3 small gifts out of the new Sweet & sour soup line by Jillibean Soup.

First up is a canvas that can be used as a picture frame.

I just fussy cut some shapes from the collection and used a postage edge border punch, then inked the edges.

Next, I made 2 mini clipboards.

These were also so fun and easy to make. I trimmed a stack of graph paper and slipped it into the clipboard, so that it can be used for journaling notes. I also embellished with some more shapes that I handcut from the collection, and then finished by tying on some twine.

Here is a shot of all 3:

Cosmo Cricket Salt Air projects

So I stopped by my friend Sarah de Guzman's store in Newark recently and picked up the new Salt Air line from Cosmo Cricket.
Can I just say this line is amazing? And so versatile too!

Seal Rock layout:


Cosmo Cricket: Salt air paper, tiny alpha's and chipboard shapes; Epiphany Crafts: studio round epoxy tool and vintage settings; jillibean soup: bean stalks red twine; Maya road: chipboard banner pieces; Studio Calico: Mister huey's lunch tray mist; Martha Stewart: punch; Bazzill: cardstock

At the beach layout:

I don't typically do a whole lot of handwriting on my layouts, but this was so fun. I used a Glaze pen by Sakura and alternated words with teeny tiny alphas.

You're Invited card:

Who doesn't love a fun beach themed invite? Just a simple card I whipped up using the Salt air papers, and 1 inch round epoxy tool from Epiphany Crafts.

Decided to do one last card that did not have a beach theme

Just for you card:



If you live in the bay area check out Sarah's store Our Paper Place
for all the materials to make these projects. You will get amazing service and leave there with tons of inspiration too!

some fun projects to share using Jillibean soup...

I have a fun layout and a card to share today using various lines of Jillibean soup.

new punky project to share...

So I wanted to share a fun Punky sprouts book that I recently created. I love Punky sprout albums, they come in lots of fun shapes and sizes and are so much fun to alter! My new book is called Remember the moments and I used the spunky sprout album, it can be purchased here

Front cover:


page 1&2: I absolutely adore the acrylic pages in the Punky Sprouts albums.


page 3: Hambly overlay, tim holtz film strip and Glitz letter stickers


page 4: love page. I included a family photo and a fun flower.


page 5: I kept this page simple with Glitz paper, an old pay stub ticket


page 6: I used a light polka dot stamp on the canvas and included photos of my boys


page 7: I had fun decorating these tags with Hambly, jewels and epoxies from Epiphany crafts


page 8: the backside of the tags. I kept it simple here with some Hambly


page 9: I used a large scroll stamp on the canvas. This photo of my sister-in-law who recently got married seemed to fit perfectly here.


page 10: my thankful page, I included a photo of my daughter and a journaling tag pocket from Jillibean soup on this page


back page: I had fun printing index pictures with my Canon Selphy ES40 to go inside the film strip on this page


sneak peek of the whole book, lots of layering and yumminess!
