i have a few projects that have been up on the jillibean soup blog recently, and thought i would share them all at once. i keep trying to come back here, and post about my layout, and have just been too busy and distracted to finish typing it up. so making this a quick and simple share, so at least they get shown 🙂

i admit, i'm not actually a huge fan of kraft cardstock or pattern paper. i feel bad saying that. lol! but i was drawn to this floral kraft paper, and had to use it. i think mixing it with other bright and fun colored papers helped.

the girls gave me this frame for christmas, and it was sitting up a shelf unused. decided to just make something simple to put inside.

    fab- as always, Laura! 🙂 I hadn’t really though about it- but I guess there isn’t a lot of kraft seen here usually!!!
    I just had my appt with the accountant yesterday- so glad to have it behind us- good luck!!!!

    I love how you use the JBS collections…you really make them “yours”. Love the blue on the LO. I think I want to make a frame similar to that. Something to brighten the room. I always look at your work when I need to use my journaling spots–love how you layer them! You rock the JBS!! Good luck on the taxes–they’re always a nightmare!

    I would have thought you would have loved Kraft paper … that is something new I just learned about you. Love the layout by the way.

    I can’t believe you don’t like kraft cardstock. I figured you would love it due to your love of the corr alphas…ha!
    I love your mixing of colors and patterns, truly a Laura Vegas style layout if ever I saw one..AWESOME!

    oh I love the kraft floral!!! Is jillibean wholesale only? I must invest… I did find a new potential s/b store relatively local, on their website… I’ve drooled over your work long enough!! 🙂 I’ve got to get those alphies…

    Not a fan of Kraft…I’m shaking my head in disbelief. I can’t believe you said that outloud! LOL
