i have been creating a dictionary pronunciation of some of my sentiments, to mix it up and play a bit


i am smitten with all the amazing papers in this kit and add-on, the buttons, the stamps, just gorgeous!



there's also a CARDS challenge in the forum beginning today for a $5.00 store credit to the Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits store, it's a fun one and i hope you'll inspire us!  if you've been waiting to try one of the kits, create a card and win the credit, that makes ordering a kit next month a little guilt-free...wink, wink

♥be you Jillibean style♥

Good morning!  I wanted to share a couple of cards that are being shared on the Jillibean Soup blog this week.  

On my first card, I wanted a flat/mailable card using one of the Chilled Cucumber Soup Bite Size Bit Journal cards.  I love these, they are so pretty all by themselves but wanted to use one on a card.  I have made it a New Year's Resolution, of sorts, to create flat/mailable cards as well as layered/embellished cards in my DT work this year.  There are a lot of friends who have commented that with the rising postal rates, they still want it to be affordable to send cards.

Be You Card

i hope you'll pop in and see all the cards this week on The Blog amazing designs, you're sure to be inspired!

 Danni says:
April Fools Day is actually my maternal grandmother's birthday, so it's fun for us to create cards to make her smile and laugh out loud. Today I thought I would share this year's card with you.
I adhered my faux $20 bill to the inside flap, when the recipient (my grandmother) opens it up, trying to remove the $20 bill, they will see the 20 bucks (of the deer persuasion) instead......April Fools (smile)!!!
