Modern Mercantile - Feather Love :)

Hello Hello :)

.............so what is 'Not to Love' about Lisa Dickinson's fabulous new paper range Modern Mercantile for Jenni Bowlin Studio. We were ever so lucky to create using this fabulous range in the February JBS Papercrafting Kit.

Today I would like to share with you one of the layouts I created from the February Papercrafting Kit, featuring both the Modern Mercantile papers and exclusive Star stencil.

To create the star pattern on the patterned paper background I used 2 different mediums; first I used a gold Copic marker with an airbrush, and then some fabulous 'seed packet' JBS paint in a micro mister.

I had so much creative fun with this months Papercrafting Kit and the Antiquarian Add-On Kit; here is a sneak of a layout I created using the Antiquarian Kit.

Do not forget to check out all the amazing creativity by the team for this month >>>>>>>>> HERE :) :) :)

Cheers and Happy JBS scrapping!

May Flaum's Painted and Inked Up Layout

Hi everyone! May Flaum here to share my first layout with the new Jenni Bowlin Studio goodies! I am always saying what I love most about Jenni's producs is that they work beautifully with older releases which makes my budget happy and my creative possibilities better than ever!

Notes on this layout:

• I used chewing gum paint to stamp (the dots) and color my title letters.
• I used chewing gum, malted milk, and seed packet ink pads to stamp and color white cardstock for my punched butterflies.
• The splatter you see in the background is both speckled egg re-inker flicked directly onto my page, and a watered down paint (speckled egg + water) flicked onto my page. I love the contrast they add!

By using a bold (4x6) photo and limiting my embellishments to the one side of the layout I was able to make a lot of ink (and paint) mess, but create a fairly clean finished layout.

Sad to See Her Go . . .

A Modern Mercantile Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's Day!  It's Jenni Hufford here sharing a "love" themed layout today using Modern Mercantile.

Who says a Valentine's Day or Love themed layout needs to be pink and red?   To be honest I really enjoyed using the fresh colors from the Modern Mercantile line to create this "love themed" layout!

I used a heart punch to cut various papers from the Modern Mercantile collection.   I layered the hearts in a grid pattern over a piece of vellum, and stitched the hearts in place.

I used two instax photos and bookended them to one of the "Noted" card in the Modern Mercantile Hodge Podge paper.

The focus on this page was to document a variety of things my family "loves" right now.  I chose a few items from the list and wrote on little hand cut banners and layered these over the hearts.  This is the perfect layout to include in my Project Life album for Valentines week!

love this now.

I recently decided to start keeping track of and posting a sort of currently loving/right now type of post to keep track of the fun stuff in life that starts popping up regularly. It's been fun to keep in mind as I snap photos, and look back through them.

The new Modern Mercantile line is perfect for scrapbooking everyday moments. And I'm loving the freshness of the green and blue.

The chipboard feathers were perfect with the speckled egg and stick candy paints, and just a touch of white brushing in the center... I was lucky enough to get this fabulous line in the February kits - which just happen to have been restocked! Snap them up while you can! It's lovely to work with. And don't forget to take a moment to document your current loves - those usually end up being some of my favorite pages to look back on!
