Atta Girl by Stephanie Howell

Stephanie Howell is such a perfect match for Jenni Bowlin Studio, don't you agree? Not only does she love vintage and work wonders with it, but she also has a deep appreciation for the classics and is so great about mixing the "old" with the "new." Here she's taken one of our classic die-cut label papers and mixed in some of our latest - "Haven" papers and the new release Core'dinations Bingo Card Cardstock. What a sweet layout about her sweet girl.

Guest Star May Flaum!

I am a long time fan of Jenni Bowlin and her products – and the reason is simply that they work. I can mix and match with bits of fabric and vintage ephemera, it blends well with other brands, and it never goes out of style. I find myself using pieces that are five years old – and JBS stuff never gets thrown out! I’m absolutely loving this newest release (no big surprise there!) and I’ve crafted some new projects to share with you today.


This layout combines two of the new stamps along with just a bit of cardstock and felt and new JBS goodies too. I love those calendar journaling papers – so great to add a date onto a page in a decorative way. I just circled the date the photo was taken!


I love adding in stitching, fabrics, and doilies especially when I’m working with JBS products. I mixed in an older rub-on with some of the newer papers and goodies for this simple and fast layered thank you card. A little bit of white stitching and I’m ready to send off a lovely (heartfelt) thank you to someone special.


I hope you’ve enjoyed my projects!

Guest Star Jeri Swenson!

It's time to welcome another guest star here on the Inspiration Blog! Welcome Jeri Swenson!

Hi my name is Jeri Swenson. I am a stay at home mom to 4 great kids. I have been married to my best friend and partner in crime for 13 years in July. We reside in one of the most beautiful state i have ever been to N. Utah. I have been crafting in one way or another since i was little. My mother was and avid crafter and she let me help all the time. I made my first scrapbook 23 years ago, when my oldest son was born...it included calligraphy titles on blue parchment and pictures cut with decorative scissors. Needless to say i was pleased when i went into my first Roberts store and there were stickers and 8.5 x 11 paper to purchase that was 14 years ago and i have been obsessed ever since. I was so grateful to be asked to be a quest on the Jenni Bowlin Design Team..her style is my style. I love to rummage through thrift stores and yard sales to find the most unusual things. I love to use paper bags, twine, old newspapers and magazines. Thanks again it was a pleasure to work with Jenni's product.

Thanks so much for the inspiration Jeri! Vintage looks ever so lovely on you! :)
