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.
been working on getting all my tax information together, for my appt tomorrow. joe and i have 3 small business's between us, so it's a lot of tedious paperwork. so glad to almost be done with it all. wish me luck, because i think i'm going to need it.
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!

okay, LOVE all these creations--I agree the kraft paper is usually hard for me to work with too! :) Good luck with your tax stuff!

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
