Gallery Spotlight

I so enjoyed my trip throught the JBS Mercantile Customer Gallery tonight. You all have shared so many treasures with us there. To prove that point, here are the three most recent entries. I hope you'll post more soon! I think this one by Angie Backen featuring the October kit has such a unique design and wonderful technique.

This treat by Lisa Spangler featuring the new Halloween Bingos is just cardmaking perfection.

And who could possible resist the sweet cheeks and ponies on this darling layout by Jenni Hufford? Not me! Plus I think the touch of red in the JBS paper is a brilliant foil for the pumpkin patch.

Thanks for the inspiration friends!

With the holidays approaching, my mind always shifts into gift-giving mode. I love to work with canvases of all sizes, so when I saw and fell in love with this JBS silhouette rub-on, I knew it would make a sweet, simple gift for one of my granddaughters. I simply painted a 6"x6" canvas with slightly thinned acrylic paint and when the paint was dry, I added strips of vintage book pages to the sides, using mod podge (remember mod podge?!) that i had added pink paint to. I allowed all of this to completely dry and then I added the JBS rub-on and did a bit of sanding....I like to rough things up a little : ) A simple torn strip of vintage fabric as a bow complete it. Very simple. As a sidenote, I have tried to apply other rub-ons to canvas in the past and it's been a huge disaster....not so with these smooth as butter JBS rub-ons.

Thanks for the inspiration Becky!

November JBS Mercantile!

November JBS Mercantile is now available! The gallery has been posted and look for several more additions to it on the 10th of this month. Kits went out late to the design team as we were waiting for the new paper to come in. It was so worth the wait! Jenni's latest extension to her red/black line is stunning!

We'd also like to take a moment to celebrate Ranjini and Michelle's one-year anniversary with JBS! We are so happy to have their unique and gorgeous style's gracing our gallery and blog each month. Ranjini's gallery will be up soon, never fear! And I think the one-year mark has done something wonky to Michelle's gallery, but we'll get that fixed tomorrow and the sweet layout above into her gallery where it belongs.

Oh! and don't forget to check out the project kit this month! These will go fast as I'm sure many people will realize that they would make the perfect Christmas gift!

Happy Halloween with Keisha Campbell

We at Jenni Bowlin Studio hope you've had a fun-filled October!

Now Keisha Cambell's offering up a little more inspiration to get those October photos scrapped.

Thanks for the inspiration Keisha!
