Today we have a feast of inspiration from Guest Star Kim Jeffress! Kim brings us three layouts that artfully mix two of our recent lines, "Haven" and "Be Our Guest," along with an display piece and a charming set of refrigerator magnets featuring our Tart Tins and Reader Chipboard Buttons. Thanks so much for the inspiration Kim! For even more inspiration from Kim, be sure to visit her blog, Glass Half Full. 
Hello! Welcome to another day of Mini-album Week! We're having so much fun with our friends at Write.Click.Scrapbook in sharing mini-album inspiration with you! Today we have a darling mini-album (plus three other fabulous projects) from guest star Staci Taylor. Check back later this evening for a mini-album organization post from our design team. And goodness! We have still more mini-albums to share on Saturday and Sunday as well! 
Staci writes, "I wanted to make a mini of my three kids, and the JBS mini was perfect forthis! I traced over the faint design on the front cover with black pen to makeit stand out more, and then I distressed the chipboard with a small amount ofwhite paint. The chipboard banner pieces were perfect for displaying my kidsnames on the front cover. I used a lot of JBS packaging inside the album, aswell as some of the mini-papers - they're a perfect size for a mini-album!" 
"I used the tart tins and the butterfly stamp to make a mini-mobile to hang inthe entranceway to my daughter's room (I had to take pics outside, though, as itwas too dark inside!). I attached two of the tart tins with ribbon, and I hungsome pearls around the bottom of the top tart tin. To make the butterflies, Istamped the image onto a transparency with watermark ink. I then heat embosseddifferent colors (I used white, silver and a glittery pink). I cut thebutterflies and attached them to some twine... fun and easy!" 
All so very beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration Staci! 
We are so very excited to welcome Harumi Hagiwara to our blog again! She always comes up with the most amazing details and out of the box ideas! Harumi says, "Hi everyone!My name is Harumi Hagiwara, also known as Chikotto. I live in Japan with my husband and two daughters.I'm excited to be here again to share pages.The new line is so pretty,especially the Rub-on! I love it!Wooden Spools,Tart Tins, its vintage-style is really wonderful!I enjoyed making these.Thank you so much for letting me be your guest.I love JBS!"
when i received my packet of the new jbs be our guest release and the project foundations my heart skipped a beat when i saw these vintage inspired round tart tins. i knew instantly hat i wanted to create a few pin cushions with them with some scraps of a vintage cutter quilt that i had been hoarding.
after putting it all together i hand-stitched along the quilt seams to add some dimension and then added a little hand-stitched heart to one as well. the pins are a mix of handmade, the paper hearts and flag pins as well as some jbs garnet rhinestone stick pins.
