It was so difficult to create scrapbook pages with the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?Category=1">JBS Mercantile Papercrafting kit</a> this month ... sure it's gorgeous and lovely and unique ... but this is the <i>last papercrafting kit </i>coming from the Mercantile. Oh there will be LOTS of new cool stuff coming from the Mercantile still, and the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?Category=2">Crafted Kit</a> will continue on, but this was the last <i>papercrafting kit</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I needed this last layout to be perfect. As all well made plans usually go, perfection certainly did not happen. My sewing machine was threaded with really thick thread, the tension was off, it made holes in my paper. The stitching chewed up the edge of a tag so I had to cut the end off. I realized I wanted to run the page through my printer after it was mostly assembled so I disassembled and ran the page through and it printed in places in shouldn't have. And the ink gummed up on my patterned paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The page was looking messy and wrecked. This is when I decided to embrace the messy, embrace the imperfect and go with it. So I wrinkled it more and disassembled again to get my printing right and reassembled as best as I could. The wrinkling caused ripping. I restitched a zig zag stitch over some of the holes in the patterned paper. Then I realized I made a mistake in my journaling and just kept it.</div>

This time however, I immediately thought of the song <i>Happy Christmas</i> by John Lennon. Songs can be a powerful tool when it comes to creating titles or inspiring layouts. This layout began with the title and a single piece of patterned paper. From there, I found my photo and my story.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose papers and embellishments from both <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?Category=18">the main kit and the Artisan kit.</a> The design is based on a Page Maps Sketch. The picture really doesn't do the gold foil ampersands justice. They are far richer in real life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I chose to document one of our traditional holiday activities. Visiting the local department store and seeing the decorations on display marks the beginning of the holiday season for me. What makes you think " so this is Christmas"? </div>

Hey y'all, it's Tracie Claiborne, stopping by to tell you about the best
event I've attended this holiday season...A Vintage Affair at Haven
Farm. Haven Farm aka "Jenni Bowlin's fabulous home" was filled to the
brim last Saturday with vintage goodies for sale! (Insert angels singing
here!! Ahhhhh!!!!) I arrived early and was greeted at the door by this
wonderfulness...<br />
<br />

<div>
Once
inside, I was amazed at the transformation that had taken over Jenni's
house! It reminded me of an old fashioned general store with an
assortment of items so incredibly interesting that I had to walk slowly,
look carefully and take it all in. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Delightful
displays waited for me around every corner, starting with this one in
the front room. I'm so happy to say I am now the proud owner of the
dresser in this photo! I've loved it since the first time I saw it in
Jenni's home, about ten years ago, and I felt giddy when I saw it for
sale. I couldn't resist - I had to have it! I still smile when I
remember that it's mine!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As
I walked around, I was not at all surprised to see that every item for
sale was marvelously displayed. I often say that Jenni's greatest talent
is "tablescaping" which is "an artistic arrangement of articles on a
table." Her knack for displays was never more evident than at this sale.
Check out this table just inside the front door. The items are
carefully arranged to perfection but look up...only Jenni would think to
pin a rudolph nose on that vintage photo! It was a fun touch that made
me smile! The banner, the box, the boughs...perfection! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In
the main room, this table called to me. I lingered over the dishes for
quite a while and now I'm regretting not getting the red and white set. I
simply do not have room in my cabinets for more dishes or I would have!
I did pick up lots of Christmas cards and my friend snagged a much
sought after Santa cup which made us both happy. </span><br />

My
friend, Jennifer, and I loved every minute and could have stayed and
shopped all day! As you can see by the big smile on our faces, we both
got some major scrapbook steals in Jenni's basement. It was so much fun
to see scrappy friends I hadn't seen in a while. Of course, I had to
tell them about my podcast, <a href="http://www.thescrapgals.com/">The Scrap Gals Podcast with Tiffany and Tracie</a>.<br />

As
I think you can see, it was a glorious day. A Vintage Affair was much
more fun than the other Christmas shows I've attended this month. I am
so excited that Jenni will be hosting more of these events in 2015! I
told Jenni and Jared, "This is the best idea you have ever had!!" I
highly recommend making this a must-do item on your fun list next year.
I'm adding it to my calendar as soon as the dates are available and I
hope to see you there. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was so great to
see this talented lady and get to shop Haven Farm's unique and lovely
treasures. It was the highlight of my Christmas season so far!</span></div>

The December Crafted Kit was this sweet set of handmade snowglobes designed by Jenni Bowlin. These sold out quickly! The good news is that the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?SID=1&Item=3371">Crafted Kit</a> is available as a membership, so these fast selling, unique treats won't be missed. I'm curious to see what Jenni has in store for us with the Crafted Kit in 2015, aren't you?<br />

You can imagine how delighted I was to see JBS Mercantile kits featuring exclusive wood veneer shapes. This month's shape did not disappoint!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnGnCSQd9ejX2yEX3E7PoiviPHhQlWb9dsBKse-bnlyBLW2Tr5CRTZtTg5xRDAaJuqJmzXQTA09mlWfuzO8Yel8yMAxzrTJ_M8lI_mntgf27g5TZsyveyyI6kFE5KPpzYPZZ8vU7ypOLl/s1600/CSLuckyDuck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnGnCSQd9ejX2yEX3E7PoiviPHhQlWb9dsBKse-bnlyBLW2Tr5CRTZtTg5xRDAaJuqJmzXQTA09mlWfuzO8Yel8yMAxzrTJ_M8lI_mntgf27g5TZsyveyyI6kFE5KPpzYPZZ8vU7ypOLl/s1600/CSLuckyDuck.jpg" height="400" width="398" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The wood veneer doilies are the perfect accent to any layout. I love how they have a small hole in the center which allowed me to tie a bit of twine. The stamped design is both warm and elegant. In this layout, the wood doily softens the heavier feel of the grey floral print. I used it as an anchor to "hold" my photos in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwGA1avRc5Z4G8j-1qqyW4SBlncTClEH1US_tIPlr-PEz_UflhR-QWrKM8MsbqadLS29A5vBpNsWOX89j6N3jCx8qnkLEBtB2YP6m6YJ-rBvKOMOKREoZZq7TZHJ1rdv-n7TC51iMQ01t/s1600/CSHelloPumpkin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwGA1avRc5Z4G8j-1qqyW4SBlncTClEH1US_tIPlr-PEz_UflhR-QWrKM8MsbqadLS29A5vBpNsWOX89j6N3jCx8qnkLEBtB2YP6m6YJ-rBvKOMOKREoZZq7TZHJ1rdv-n7TC51iMQ01t/s1600/CSHelloPumpkin.jpg" height="396" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you don't want to use the full doily, it is possible to cut the shape in half. When doing so, it's best to cut with the wood grain. Cutting against the grain may result in the shape breaking apart. Should your shape break apart, simple piece it carefully back together and adhere it to your layout. Liquid glue seems to work best.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I confess that I was tempted to hoard these wood veneer doilies along with my other wood veneer shapes. They are so unique which is precisely why I am glad I used them. They look so much better on the layouts than hidden away in my supplies.</div>

Each month, I open my box from JBS Mercantile happily and hungrily, anticipating the delights to be found among the contents. This layout features two of my favorite kit highlights: the exclusive items found in the papercrafting kits and the vintage treasures found in the antiquarian kits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gnMoVwAzJylEpnnbBwg17VLx1auB85VeAsBa_d7orP0ThwbS4tn1lOQjtmMX5cvaCPtaWku9vG0ajOQ2fAfoD9ehWWsdLVM_7Ajf9Lzhbn-cti7Ra2mnHSUjxdIdJHe3JC5lLbNrgWAN/s1600/Cookie+and+Polly+JBS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0gnMoVwAzJylEpnnbBwg17VLx1auB85VeAsBa_d7orP0ThwbS4tn1lOQjtmMX5cvaCPtaWku9vG0ajOQ2fAfoD9ehWWsdLVM_7Ajf9Lzhbn-cti7Ra2mnHSUjxdIdJHe3JC5lLbNrgWAN/s640/Cookie+and+Polly+JBS.jpg" width="614" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The background paper and the stamp are among this month's exclusives. Since the layout is about two sisters, my aunt and my mother, I stamped the image twice, but in doing so, varied the height to represent a big sister and a little sister. </div>

The antiquarian kit is a struggle for me to use at times, not because it is <i>difficult </i>to do so, but because I want to hoard everything in it, squirreling it away while whispering, "My precioussss...." I've learned over time, however, that the items in the antiquarian kits are happiest when given homes on layouts. They make pages <i>sing. </i>Case in point: the frame above and the thread card and tickets below. </div>

It can be a daunting task, to scrapbook older photos like the ones on this page. There is a fear of "getting it wrong," or apprehension about not finding the right supplies to work with, but the JBS Mercantile kits have never failed to give me the creative push needed to tell the story, and they always help me to do so meaningfully. </div>

The N<a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?Category=18">ovember JBS Mercantile Kits</a> are perfect for fall scrapbooking! I was totally in love with the gold leaves from the Antiquarian Kit and wanted to use them right away. I used the whole sheet on this page to make a shining statement.</div>

Here is a quick peek at my colorful mess before I stitched on those gold leaves. It was so simple! I just painted a few swatches of bright fall colors with my watercolor palette and then added some ink splats with a Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress stain. <br />
<br />

I love how it reminds me of fall leaves in all their glory with the golden sunlight filtering through.<br />

I also love the little JBS Girl exclusive stamp that came in the main kit. I wonder why Jenni took so long to think of this idea. She was the perfect addition to this page. I feel like she is me taking that walk in the woods.<br />
<br />
To get this look, I stamped her with Stayzon permanent ink (so the watercolors wouldn't make the ink run), painted her with the same set of watercolors, then trimmed her out. A Polaroid frame helped her have more presence on the page. So cute!<br />

My favorite photo right now is a picture I took of my husband in
Iceland. He is not the outdoors type, but goes hiking with me because he
knows how much I love it. We went hiking several times in Iceland,
always in the cold and rain. I was oblivious to the weather, excited as
I was to be there and take everything in. Then I turned around, and

November has arrived! There is a definite chill in the air here in the Southern U.S., but it's all warm and cozy at JBS Mercantile! To start off, Betsy Sammarco has designed this fabulous chalkboard art display piece that's available as the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?SID=1&Item=3344">November Crafted Kit</a>. You'll want to grab two. One for all the trendy holiday parties you'll throw this winter and another for the hard to buy for hostess in your family. <br />

I think when it's your birthday, you should be celebrated all month long. With that thought in mind, i created this banner in festive fall colors for my son's October birthday and hung it from our mantel to be enjoyed. It was super easy to create. I simply covered the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?SID=1&Item=1093">Chipboard Flag Banner</a> pieces with patterned paper from the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?SID=1&Item=3297">October Papercrafting Kit</a> and then added the XL alphabet stickers from the <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/eco/store.asp?SID=1&Item=3271">October Artisan Add-on</a>. I couldn't be happier with the results. I was slightly bummed when I realized that I didn't have the letters left to spell Merry Christmas for a December banner. That depression quickly passed when I figured out that I could just spell Feliz Navidad instead. Perfect!<br />

The uber talented Carrie Arick made this layout using lots of JBS digital supplies. Did you see how she changed the color of the flatback to match her background paper? Here's how she did it:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414145890654_11151" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
To change the flatbacks to match the page, I selected the color in the color palette. Then I selected the flatback icon layer in the layers palette. I created a solid color adjustment layer, which I clipped to the flatback icon. (crtl +alt+ g in Photoshop CC) The I changed the blending mode to of the adjustment layer to "color". </div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414145890654_11151" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue Light', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1414145890654_11151" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I need to try this out myself! Thanks for the color changing tip Carrie!</span></div>
