Hybrid layout with JBS~

Hi everyone~thanks for stopping by~this is my second project done with Jenni Bowlin Studio/Homespun printables and punchables.  I loved making my own embellishments, if I messed one up I just printed another one out. Pretty easy!!!

I enlarged the journal cards in word { just like Betsy told me ~ just drag them in there} LOL!!

They make great mats for a photo or you could make a mini album { just size to your needs}.

Perfect!!!

This shows you the banner.  I punched them out and used them on the JBS chipboard pieces, for some dimension.  I will be doing some more of this and working with these products was so fun!!

Hybrid scrapbooking with Jenni ~

Well if you missed it~yesterday was a big "thrill" for me.  Besides my modem going out and I had no Internet for about 10 hours ~ the day ended fantastic.  If you are a friend of mine or know me through my scrapbooking you know who's products I just adore {Jenni Bowlin Studios}, so being on the JBS Inspiration Blog yesterday and working with some of her Hybrid products was an absolute THRILL!!!! Thank you Besty Sammarco for asking me!

I have been asked where do I get the large safety pins~I have had them for years.  When I go out junkin' I don't see them like I used to.  They were used to close laundry bags of service men in the 40's, is what I have been told.  I have one with a number on it so I presume maybe for a locker basket.  I love the way they look on a mini album!

A look at some of the inside pages~I guess I can call myself a hybrid scrapbooker now~

Just in case you missed it, go HERE to see the post and if you were one of those { you know who you are}that showed up over on JBS and left a comment ~ you made my day!!!!Thank You!!!

My SECOND project is up on JBS today~Here

Butterfly Tag Cards~

Hi everyone!!! Time for Try It Tuesday, my favorite day of the week.  My cast of characters~

The Star ~Darkroom Door {the new butterfly set}, it compliments their other {butterfly} set so well.  The stamps are gorgeous!!! Next~Canvas Corp paper, Jenni Bowlin embellishments { you know I have to have JBS on what ever I make}, Helmar Scrap Dots { love this product} and Helmar 450 Quick Dry!!!

The ribbon is by May Arts, there is some Prima {resin flowers}and the fabulous Tim Holtz labels!!!

It was good to create today~

I added a tag to the top so I can tie it on the gift~don't use envelopes and because of that I have a ton of them , so I did this~

I cut about and 1/8" of an inch off and used the envelope like a pocket!  They will be great like that on scrapbooking pages too.  The tag slips right down into the pocket.  Thought I would mention Craft Crossing {the awesome LSS that I teach at} has a large selection of Darkroom Door stamps and she will mail.  If you are interested just leave me a comment or email me and I will get her info to you.

Thanks for stopping by today and just a reminder about the vintage blog series over on Amanda Jones Designs blog. have a good one and I'll see ya soon!!

The last one~really!

Hi everyone~this is the last one of the pocket pages I did for the "grands" art work.  The paper is by Authentique and I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to hold the sides together.  I pulled out different punches and used them on the edges for decoration. The shiny blue metallic paper is by Vintage Street Market!!  These will fit perfectly in a page protector and then in my album they go.  I use the American Crafts top loading albums with rings.

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see ya soon!!!

Another pocket page ~

/

Hi everyone~I'm staying with the bi-fold cardstock papers by Authentique.  Here is another example of how  easy these can be made.  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to secure the outside edges and then used punches and embellishments on the front!!  making a great pocket for art work or papers you may want to keep together.

I hope you aren't getting tired of these I have one more to post tomorrow then off to something new.

Have a great Thursday~weekend is just round the corner.
