My Cluttered Corner

I am LOVING the new Jillibean Soup Shades of Color collection! What's not to love about bright, happy colors, paint swatch patterned papers and creativity themes? I have been using this collection on a ton of projects recently.

If you haven't checked out the Jillibean Soup designed digital cuts in the Silhouette store, you must! They are awesome. The Be Your Own Kind of Amazing is available there.

If you don't have a Silhouette, you can always grab the large die cut letters that coordinate with the collection like I did for this layout:

But if you DO have a Silhouette, they sell the same alphabet there too!

Another great thing about Jillibean Soup collections is that you can often mix and match collections very easily. I used both Shades of Color and Farmhouse Stew for this layout documenting our puppies' first birthday.

Another of my favorites from Jillibean Soup is the shakers! I can't get enough of the new shapes and seed beads and wood veneer shakers!

You can't go wrong with a Distress Oxide Inked background either!

Phew! Tons of projects with the new collections! Have you been creating with them! I would love to hear what you are making!

I was up on the Jillibean Soup blog the other day using the brand new Souper Celebration collection!

Supplies:

I am incredibly happy to be sharing my first We Are Family layouts with you. This is an incredible collection combining a dark woodgrain with a bright rainbow of colors-- literally something for everyone! This versatile collection made it very easy for me to create family layouts. Here is the first:

The wood veneer in this collection is seriously the most awesome thing ever. And I love the die cuts in the shape and design of embroidery hoops.

I wanted to do a large water color title. So I brought out my watercolors and found matches to the colors in the collection.

Then I cut the word family (a Simple Stories cut file available on the Silhouette site) out of watercolor paper. I painted each letter a different color and then went over the whole thing with a water brush to blend the letters together.

For my second layout I focused on just two members of my family.

There are a ton of stitching elements in this collection so I machine stitched a border on my layout. I layered chipboard frames over all of my photos and I like that they seem to be hanging on a wall or in a photo gallery in this layout.

And seriously how awesome are the little wood veneer people?

So whether you are scrapbooking babies to grandparents and everyone in between, you will find this to be an incredibly versatile collection with so many elements to add the perfect little details to your projects!
