CHA Summer New Releases

I'm so excited to see the new JBS products already appearing in several online and local scrapbook stores! If I had to pick only one of the new supplies as my favorite, I think it would be these lovely gold doilies:

I loved this doily shape in the Wren collection paper, as a stamp, and now, I love them as these beautiful rub ons!  They truly apply like butter - no tearing or cracking.  I mixed them in with some of the other new releases on this simple page:

 

The new sequins (that come in four different varieties) and flatbacks mix perfectly with the gold rub ons that I scattered diagonally across my page.  I used one of the new Vintage Flashcards as my title, which comes as part of this set:

 

For an easy photo matte that requires no patterned paper, I simply stamped the Dictionary page repeatedly across the cardstock with red ink and layered my photostrip on top:

 

 

Be sure and check your local scrapbook store for the new JBS releases! And we'd love to see your projects using them!

 

Summer is here with Elle's Studio and JBS!!!

 

 

Yeah, for Summer (I think)!!!  Yes that means cutting the grass if it takes all morning.  More layouts using Cameron by Elle's Studio.  The yellow in this paper matches the JBS yellow.  I used the Alpha stickers (orange/black), Star Banner stickers and a Die-Cut journaling card (yellow).  

 

I added the JBS Flat Backs, and the Star Banner stickers (blue) to this one.  The colors match perfectly.   

 

More Star Banner stickers added to this layout!!  One of my favorite things about JBS is the product works so well with other manufactures!!  A big Thank You to Elle's Studio for partnering with Jenni Bowlin Studio~I enjoyed creating with your fabulous products!!!

 

*********************************

I have a cool re-purpose that I wanted to share with you.  I just love the True Vintage line that JBS has in the Mercantile.  I used one of the Drug Store labels and added it to my water bottle {vintage 7 Up bottle that I found on the ranch} with the cool sprinkle spout {you know, you used it when you ironed to dampen your cloths}~ I have already used it when I needed to thin paint out or clean up. Works great!!!

Summer nights!

Hello and Happy Sunday!

Tina here today with a fun layout that will hopefully bring back memories of those Summer Nights.

This photo is of my mother, circa 1960.  She was 18 and watching the sun set in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.  She is leaning against my {soon to be} father's car.  :)

I used stencils from both the July Papercrafting kit and the July Mini Album kit to create my colorful background.

I also used both the exclusive stamps and digital cuts from the July kit to make my own unique embellishments.  I stamped both with embossing ink for more texture.

I finished my layout off with some of my favorite JBS product:  Notebook Grid Paper Tape and fun Icons flatbacks.

I hope you enjoyed my share today.  Here's to summer nights and summer memories!

Plenty more JBS and Elle's Studio to come...

It's Natalie here with you today. We've had so much fun over the last week of our partnership with JBS and Elle's Studio that we've decided to extend the celebrations a bit longer. Hurrah! I know I personally couldn't get enough of working with all these fabulous products - as this barrage of projects will attest to!!

It was really easy to combine these two lines. Both the Cameron collection from Elle's Studio and our own Modern Mercantile collection have a lot of similar colours in them, whilst being quite different in theme. Cameron is a great line for scrapping boy photos so I couldn't get by without using this cute picture of my nephew.

I love the mix of bright fresh colours with a hint of vintage! On this first layout I introduced even more boy elements by including a JBS Silhouette card and one of the Reader Flatbacks.

My second layout is about the time my husband, my brother and his girlfriend went to a Home Innovation show and met Kevin McCloud (author and the host of Grand Designs) because they're all big fans. Given the theme of the layout I just knew the Blueprint paper from the JBS Wren collection would be a perfect background which gave me a lovely bright base for my layout. So as not to overwhelm the page with lots of other colours I focused on the blue and kraft tags from Elle's Studio.

One of the best things about these Alterable Alphas from JBS is that they take colour so well. I painted a few brushstrokes of red ink onto them to match the red highlights on my layout.

For my third layout I couldn't resist starting with the yellow Elle's Studio paper and then building up lots of the JBS Red Label Strip Stickers under my photo. It gives such a great contrast of colours! I also used the negatives from the sticker-sheet to give the impression of even more layers.

This is another photo of my nephew, but this time a bit more grown-up and meeting his sister for the first time. The JBS Plastic Ribbon was the perfect finishing touch don't you think?

I used the same Plastic Ribbon on this card I made. It reminds me of the store-bought cards that often include a badge or award stuck up in the corner like this. I had so much Elle's Studio goodness left over that I decorated the inside of the card too!

Watch out for even more JBS and Elle's Studio projects to appear on the blog over the next few days. And don't forget to check out the Elle's Studio blog for even more inspiration from their amazing Design Team.

Happy Scrapping!

Elle's Studio and JBS from Ashley

Hi everyone!
This is Ashley today, with a layout combing the fabulous new line Cameron, from Elle's Studio, and some of my all-time favourite JBS products. I love combining new, clean and crisp looking products with vintage look  items for a playful balance between new and old.  And using Elle's Studio papers and Jenni Bowlin Studio embellishments did this just perfectly!

Here I combined some fabulous Elle's Studio grid paper, yellow striped paper, and a bit of blue along with a cut-off strip for a layered background and garland accent. I used the JBS quilt star punch to make yellow stars and then ran them through my sewing machine for a quick and easy garland. I love the bit of bright that wonderful yellow adds to the page!

I layered Jenni Bowlin Studio grid washi tape, JBS tags, and a 5cent flat back pin together in the area under the photo. I created a fun little flag embellishment by wrapping a stick with some tissue and topping with a JBS star.

I love how happy those little yellow stars are, poking out from behind the photo and JBS scallop tag!
