jbs mercantile is hosting a cyber monday blog hop! so fun! i have several things to share with you today, but first i wanted to mention that there are prizes! we're giving away a $10 gift card plus jenni's new e-book "home for the holidays" (kit not included) to 15 lucky winners! leave a comment here to be entered to win and then swing by the jbs inspiration blog to see where the 14 other winning locations are.
so this is my peek layout with the december jbs mercantile papercrafting kit that goes on sale wednesday at midnight CST. i LOVE it. it's full of kraft. i could go on, but i'll stop there. ha. i did a fun hand cut title for this one, complete with a backwards "n". oops. i could have recut it, but what the hey. i left it and called it creative license. i also wanted to mention the paper stacking, a great idea i picked up from shimelle's pretty paper party. anxious to do a few more of the tricks from that class when i get the chance.
here's a close-up of this month's exclusive stamp. there's a sad faced smiley stamp too. i think the pair would be so perfect for christmas projects with a "naughty or nice" theme. i have to mention too that the background is version two. version one was a total bomb and i had to rip my photo mat and title off it and start over. luckily jenni's vintage paper pack came to the rescue. whew.
the next thing i need to tell you about is jenni's new one-of-a-kind shop. there's going to be a mad rush on these items as they're all literally ONE-of-a-kind there. each design team member is previewing something you'll find in the shop tonight/monday morning at midnight CST. i chose this bird book as i adore vintage nature stuff. all the pages are this lovely. i kinda want it for myself.
there's something for everyone in the shop. you'll find everything from victorian baby shoes and photo albums to french books and lunch pails. seriously varied and unique stuff.
so now's the time to get hopping (and midnight's the time to get shopping). after you check the jbs inspiration blog, you can also stop by the blogs of the designers listed below. and don't forget to leave a comment here for a chance to win too! drawing closes at 8pm CST tomorrow, Monday 2/28.




Love the sneaks! Thanks for a chance to win.
