Artful Farming

Today's layouts are brought to you by Dina. These are a couple she with did with Farmer's Wife for CHA. When I first saw them, I wanted to sneak one home with me and hang it on my wall; they're all just so gorgeous. Dina thinks I'm kidding about that sneaking one home bit, but I'm really not (and I know where they are. ha). I couldn't pick just one favorite, so I posted a couple. You can see more of them on her blog; scroll down to the February 12th entry. Be sure and tell us which is your favorite!

All That and a Bag of Chips!

The March kit is SO adorable! It literally made me squeal with delight when I first saw it. It reminds me of a cross between Mary Engelbreit and Marjolein Bastin, only done Jenni Bowlin Style. Think spring breezes, twittering birds, and vibrant flowers blooming along pebbly country lanes. You're going to love it!







Now, how about we play a little game? We'll send a pack of new rhinestone buttons and a pack of new pearl flowers to the first person to name three products and their manufacturers based on hints found in this post. Jeopardy music is gently playing in the background . . .

Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!

Wait! Don't throw away that Jenni Bowlin Studio product packaging! It's way too cute! Yes I'm telling you that you even have to save your trash!

See that fun piece of patterned paper covered chipboard? Know what it is? You guessed it! Chipboard button packaging! I just covered the back with patterned paper and then distressed the edges a bit.

I even left the plastic shell on the front; I thought it looked like the whole piece was pop-dotted off the page only no pop dots. Plus, when I trimmed the top of that plastic just a bit it made a nice pocket for my journaling tags. Seriously happy trash to treasures.

Welcome to Jenni Bowlin Studio Inspiration!

We're so glad you've stopped by and hope you'll come visit often. We're planning on keeping this blog loaded with lots of inspiration fresh from Jenni Bowlin Studio.

Today's offering is this charming springtime card. To create it, I first applied tape runner adhesive to the back of a large polka dot chipboard button. I then gathered crepe paper along this adhesive to make a sweet ruffle. The flowers were completed by layering more chipboard buttons with rhinestone buttons for centers. The leaves are just another chipboard button cut in half. A large bingo card makes the foundation while a label and new mini rubons make the title. Easy, fun, and cute!

FYI . . . did you hear that Jenni's gone digi? It's true! All the makings of the delightful banner above (thank you Paula!) can be found HERE!
