leafy layout..

Hi, Gina here sharing a Fall layout with you today..I love to get outdoors here in Australia and photograph the gorgeous Autumn leaves..so I've used them as my inspiration for this layout..

I've used the graphic leaf stencil and lots of bright mists to replicate the leaves in the photo..then stamped in between each leaf with the exclusive graphic feather..

the classic tiny dot alphabet stickers used in the title ink can be coloured easily with ink, and I've used a blue-green combination here..

adding also a scattering of bright green vintage buttons and sequins including the pot of gold and doily assortment..  Once again I've used a feather as a substitute for a leaf with a cardstock feather 

The border at the bottom of the page is made with layers of paper off-cuts, some stickers and paper tapes

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to share your Autumn/Fall layouts in the JBS gallery! xx

Hi, Gina here today to share a couple of layouts using some brand new JBS goodness!

I've gone for a soft look on this layout and misted the background using the exclusive trellis stencil and spray inks. Another great way to add detail on the background is with the exclusive ink spots stamp and inks to match your chosen spray inks..

I've added in the chipboard clock, vellum butterfly, perforated labels and sage skinny alpha from previous releases..

I think my absolute fave new release product would have to be these pretty doily sequins with such lovely colour variations and texture! I wanted to feature them here so have stitched a few in place across the page...

For this layout, I've used a few of the gorgeous and exclusive papers designed by Lisa Dickinson including this background paper which was perfect for the theatre theme of my page...

Other new products include the "pot of gold" and "classic" sequins, tiny trims gold rub-ons and mini-deck cards. I've also incorporated some vintage dress pattern from my stash 

it's hard not to include a few all time fave items from previous JBS lines too..such as stickers, digi-cut file stars, and a few paper scraps

thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping! x

         

JBS Mercantile Inspiration from Gina Rodgers

Hi, it's Gina and I'm very excited to share some creations with you as Guest Designer, using a multitude of gorgeous supplies from the June Papercrafting, Artisan and Historian add-on kits

First up, behind the photo I've layered some 2013 exclusive JBS patterned paper with a section of vintage perforated address labels which have been machine stitched for texture. I've also added some messy thread and a section of ribbon, which has been pleated and secured with mini fasteners

I've gone for a more subtle colour scheme on this next layout and fell in love with the exclusive Mercantile Ink Spots stamp. I've used a combination of chalk inks on the stamp for a few touches of colour

In this last layout, I've created a background with a few scrapes and smears of white gesso. Once dry, I traced inside some stars from the exclusive JBS scattered stars stencil with a black fine liner. With a little water on a small paintbrush I dabbed the outlines in a few spots to smudge the lines and create a bit of a 'grunge' effect

Happy Scrapping!

Life's a Beach..

Hi, it's Gina here sharing a layout of a one of our many holiday snaps from last summer. I've used items found in three June JBS kits; the Papercrafting, Artisan and Historian Add-ons. As you can see I've had a lot of fun creating the background on this one. I've used the left over sticker sheet from the Papercrafting kit as a frame work for some misted paper scraps. The stars were created using the Mercantile exclusive scattered stars stencil also from the Papercrafting kit.

I've stencilled both positive and negative star images by spraying through the stencil and also printing with the excess ink left of the surface.

and to highlight the colours I've mounted the sticker sheet with some bright aqua cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your week has been a creative one so far!

Another Elle's Studio and JBS project..

Hi everyone, it's Gina here sharing another Elle's Studio and Jenni Bowlin collaboration layout today. I really enjoyed using the Elle's Studio 'Cameron' line, and found that the fun, bright colors are suited to girls layouts too! And after seeing all the DT/Ambassador creations this week I'm sure you would agree that this line also combines beautifully with a range of JBS products.

I've used Modern Mercantile 'Novelties' paper for the background and added some gesso then spray inks to stencil through a section of stars from the Digital Backdrops 1 file. I've cut some of the left-over  misted stars out placed them around the page. These stars compliment the cute Elle's Studio star stamps too! A new JBS fave for me is this gorgeous delicate decorative brad

I've cut a 12" strip from the kraft die cut paper and added a few different Elle's Studio papers behind. I've also used some cute Tidbits and a Tiny Tag..

Further layers have been added using JBS paper tape, stickers and a green vintage button

Thanks for stopping by!

JBS & PDCC..'look down'

Hello, did you join in with the Play Date challenge? What a lovely lot of inspiration from the JBS DT and Ambassadors during the week...I'd like to also share my take on the challenge today..

for the background of this page I firstly added some gesso with a palette knife and once dry placed the exclusive stencil over it and created the pattern using a weather vane paint dabber

I've also used a couple of new stamps on this page including the one below which came in the exclusive 'canning jar' stamp set. I've stamped it out several times onto white paper and then cut it out and added a bit of journaling in one..the white paper makes the journaling stand out and also allowed me to move them around until I was happy with the placement before sticking them down..

How cool are the new flatbacks range? I've used one from the 'icons' set along with a piece of the packaging behind the photo for contrast.. 

the other new release stamp is from the 'dictionary' set and I've just inked up a small amount of the text stamp and pushed it down with my finger rather than using a stamp block..

thanks for stopping by and happy creating!

moving in circles..

Hi everyone, Gina here to share a layout using some cool JBS cut files. I'll admit I don't actually have a digital cutting machine so thanks to the lovely Natalie for coming to the rescue :) I've used the backdrops 1 cut file on this page..

I've used the circle and stars from the file and featured the circles in 3 different ways.. Firstly I added a bit of a random pattern over the background by dabbing some 'malted milk' paint through the circle die-cut. Next I sprayed a section of the diecut with aqua ink spray and reverse printed near the paint circles by pressing it ink side down onto the cardstock

Also I cut a couple of strips from the inked circle die-cut and layered them above and below the photo

From the star die-cut section which is in the same cut file, I've hand cut several stars and placed a red star from the apothecary sticker set inside a few of them.

The paint splatters have been made using a 'seed packet' paint dabber and few drops of aqua mist..

back drop 1 cut file

Sweet Memory..

Hi everyone, it's Gina here sharing a Christmas layout with you today..A favorite thing about the Christmas season in our house is the abundance of delicious treats! My girls and I just love baking and since we celebrate Christmas in Australia during summer, a very popular dessert here is pavlova - a meringue nest topped with whipped cream and fresh berries and raspberry coulis..YUM! 

On this layout I've folded, stapled and stitched a strip of diecut perforated stencil paper. The chipboard button has been painted with a couple of JBS dabbers then written on with a white gel pen.. I love being able to alter plain chipboard because I can bring in colours to balance the layout...in this case it helps balance the strong green alpha stickers on the opposite side..
