Guest Designer for Jillibean Soup!

Hi friends! I was so thrilled when I was asked to guest design for Jillibean Soup for the month of November! They sent me the wonderful Garden Harvest collection and I had a great time creating lots of projects with it. Today I thought I'd share the 3 layouts I created, with some tips & tricks as well.

Layout 1: Choose Joy


and a close-up:


Supply list:

Jillibean Soup: 
Patterned Paper: Garden Harvest/Plant the Seeds, Plow the Field, Reap the Grain, Water the Goods, Harvest the Crop, Bite Sized Bits
Pea Pod Parts: Garden Harvest
Coordinating Cardstock Stickers: Garden Harvest
Epoxy Sticker Sheet: Garden Harvest
Adhesive Sequins: Teal Plum Sequins

Other: white cardstock, machine stitching, color mist, inkpad, date stamp, Silhouette Cameo, foam adhesive

Designer tips: 
1. Use all the scraps and left-over bits of a collection to create one last layout. Layer all the left-over pieces of paper and place your photo on top. I even used a large left-over piece of paper, the negative of the circle that was cut from the Garden Harvest/Water the Goods patterned paper and used this as a frame on my page. 
2. Use foam adhesive to adhere some of the pea pod parts to add dimension to your page. 
3. Add shiny adhesive sequins to the center of the flowers on your paper for extra awesomeness.

Layout 2: Something Tells Me


And 2 close-ups:


Supply list:

Jillibean Soup:
Patterned Paper: Garden Harvest/Plow the Field, Harvest the Crop, Bite Sized Bits
Pea Pod Parts: Garden Harvest
Coordinating Cardstock Stickers: Garden Harvest
Epoxy Sticker Sheet: Garden Harvest
Baker’s Twine: Party Playground

Other: white cardstock, color bloom spray mist, inkpad, date stamp, black pen, machine stitching, butterfly punch

Designer tips: 
1. Use a kitchen bowl to draw two large circles (the smaller one inside the other) and use your sewing machine to stitch these circles in two different colors. 
2. Use a hand punch to punch lots of butterflies to place around the edge of the smaller circle. 
3. Use a large brush and an ink pad to add color to the white cardstock.

Layout 3: Blessed


And 2 close-ups:



Supply list:

Jillibean Soup: 
Patterned Paper: Garden Harvest/Plant the Seeds, Plant the Seeds, Plow the Field
Pea Pod Parts: Garden Harvest
Coordinating Cardstock Stickers: Garden Harvest

Other: white cardstock, color mist, color bloom spray mist, ink pad, date stamp, machine stitching, Silhouette Cameo, PixScan mat

Designer tip: Use the Silhouette PixScan mat and a mobile phone to scan and cut the flowers and leaves from the Garden Harvest/Plant the Seeds patterned paper with a Silhouette cutting system. Hand cutting will do too of course.
