i did this layout for a "scrap like jenni" assignment at the jbs blog.
easy peasy, as i have ADORED her for years. :)
the "jenni" elements here= stamp, strip of patterned paper cut with pinking shears, handwritten journaling, scalloped tag, rub on framing photos.
i LOVE jenni bowlin. :)
happy sunday! xxo

a bond like no other
made for jenni bowlin studio
our assignment was to combine old with new. the papers, journaling card, big chipboard butterflies, vellum butterflies, and mini stickers are old.
the doily flowers, number brads, and large cream shadow alphas are new.
i thought it was only fitting to do a page about j+h then and now.
hope your sunday is beautiful and blessed!
xoxo

papers, label stickers,month stickers-jbs
alphas- american crafts (aqua),basicgrey (black)
ink-jbs malted milk (stamped with pencil eraser)
this page came about for an assignment i had for the JBS blog. i was to do a layout demonstrating "beyond journaling". in other words, doing a page about something deeper than just describing the occasion in the photo.
this is a photo harper snapped before j and i went on a date (the night before he left). that night i almost deleted it. i remember thinking "why don't we ever have good photos of the two of us?".
hence this title. i found the photo the other day and i was SO happy to see it. it's funny how things can change in a few months.
journaling reads:
in may, when this photo was snapped,all i saw was that my arms looked big. not a good angle.parts are blurry and out of focus...so silly. now 2 months later all i can think about is how much i miss you. and how handsome you are. how much i miss your smile. and how i was so happy in this photo. come home soon. the heart of our home is missing.
gosh, i miss that guy! the good news is...making this page made me feel a little bit better. ;P
happy happy sunday!

last week, harper and i had a discussion about why barbie needed to marry a SOLDIER. i commented on my fb blog page that wanted to get this story down right away. some of you echoed that sentiment and encouraged me . i figured instead of just SAYING i needed to get it down and then forgetting about it, i'd just do it asap.
journaling:
h:mama, we need a boy doll so the princess barbies can get married! me:okay,barbie has a friend named ken! h:is he a SOLDIER? he has to be a soldier b/c those are the bravest,most handsome guys! atta girl harper! i am so proud of you and i'd have to say i agree!
why don't i get more stories like this down? MUST work on it.
hope your day is beautiful and blessed!

sorry this week's post is a day late. i kind of forgot to type it up, oops!
i hope your weekend was wonderful! i slept until almost 9 yesterday..WHAT? and imagine my surprise to wake up to a post by J. :)
i never thought that husbands actually wrote on their wives blogs, i thought the wives had to know what they were doing...but i definitely didn't. i was sleeping. HA!
love that he did that, he's not super romantic on a regular basis, so when he says things like that it really means a lot to me. although it also slightly makes me nervous that he figured out how to post so easily. :)
also, thank you so much for your kind words about harper's may flowers birthday party. it really was so fun do for her!
moving on the the "scrappiness" of today's post...
supply list: all jbs, except for alpha (collage press) and die cut cardstock background (anna griffin)
i used my slice and the studio essentials design card to make the scalloped circles behind the butterflies.
am i allowed to say that this is one of my most favorite pages ever? well it is. i cannot tell a lie. :)
i did this one for the jbs inspiration blog. we are focusing on stamps this month and while at first i panicked...i saw that my assignment was to use this stamp:
i figured i could make it work, to quote tim gunn.
i stamped the image using JBS lemon drops ink. at first i stamped it onto white cardstock and while it certainly was pretty...it needed more oomph.
so i stamped the image on this paper from the red/black extension III line
and loved it so much more. a few pop dots and bent wings and it officially made me happy:
so guess that i am slowly but surely coming around to stamping. huh. who knew! :)
have a beautiful,blessed monday!

all products- jenni bowlin studio
font: fling
supplies: pinking shears, fiskars microtip scissors
look at those doll babies. sigh. can someone please tell me why i don't do more c+l pages. anyone? i think i'm just overwhelmed and tend to scrap older photos first. BUT I LOVE THIS. i love them. this is truly one of my favorite pages i've made in a long time.
nothing fancy, simple. just the way i like it.
i know i have mentioned this before, but i love working with jenni's products. i do. it has never ever seemed like work or something i "have to do".
everytime i make a page using jbs goodies, it comes together so very quickly and looks so very me. this, to me=perfect.
it's a joy to "work" for her.
hope you have a beautiful, happy sunday!

hey y'all! happy tuesday! today i have another peek at the jenni bowlin "be our guest" line. for more info, check out the inspiration blog!
I love these sweet new bow and ribbon embellishments. they remind me of vintage cupcake toppers. know what i'm talking about? anyway, i LOVE them.
sidenote: my camera's battery is kaput so I used my iphone to take these photos. i'm SO impressed with the way they turned out!
another sidenote: i'm feeling so overwhelmed/in over my head with housework lately. i told jimmy...it's like an avalanche. i feel like i spend (waste???) so much time cleaning and organizing...and by the time i turn around it's all undone.
do any of you feel the same way?? it drives me nuts.
i just bought and downloaded a motivated moms chore planner for the 2nd year in a row. i love the way it breaks chores down into manageable bits. very helpful, as i get overwhelmed easily.
i hope y'all have a beautiful, blessed day.

Jenni Bowlin's new line, Be our Guest, is debuting this week on the JBS Inspiration Blog!
I received a box o' goodness last week and had so much fun creating some CHA booth layouts:
be our guest papers, die cut cards, core'dinations cardstock, and some AWESOME embellishments that haven't quite been revealed yet. i've been given the okay to go ahead and share though...so look closely. ;)
I've got another layout to share tomorrow, so check back!
I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We sure did! We are enjoying having a long weekend with J...the girls, as usual, are competing for the most Daddy time. bless their hearts.
Here's our weekend in photos:
we melted all our broken crayons and made swirly heart crayons..then made collages with the crayon wrappers
started smiling officially...
had a special mommy+ harper date to see tangled (today is a daddy+sadie date to see tangled). she's never ingested this much sugar in her life. EVER. but she was so excited to be with me...it made me teary. we had such a great time together. she kept yelling i'm SO EXCITED! and IT'S JUST US MAMA!!! in line. Everyone was grinning at her.
one baby slept lots and the other...not so much. cate was a little perturbed with us i think.
but lucy? she was OUT.
check out the hands. HA!
jimmy even took the girls CAMPING and told them scary stories. snicker!
hope your monday is beautiful! xxo
