Supplies: Making the Team: Wall of Fame, Borders, Alpha + Bits, Just Write Journaling Stickers Designer Tape: Pickle Juice Dot, Red Dot, Teal Stripe

In order to create some depth on my layout I first punched 3 large stars from the black card stock. Using a marker, I then traced the stars onto the base paper {Wall of Fame} so I knew right where to add the designer tape stripes. Add the black card stock back over top & you have a unique look for your stars. A simple technique that can be used with multiple punches and a variety of tapes or paper stripes!

I've got a sneak into the June Jenni Bowlin Mercantile kit. It's full of Wren...the newest Jenni Bowlin release & the perfect mix of red, white, & blue with a sprinkle of stars.

The Studio Calico wood veneer stars were one of my favorite things from this months kit - I even used the packaging as part of my design. I was able to run them through my Xyron X which made them really easy to use like confetti. Love that little machine!

{teacher gifts...

Tomorrow is the boys' last day so the teacher gifts went with them this morning. I found these cute coffee mugs from Target and filled them with individual coffees & mixed nuts.



Cup $1.99
Coffee $1.00
Mixed nuts $1.00



I used bits & pieces from past Jenni Bowlin Merchantile kits as well as flair from A Flair For Buttons etsy shop.
One for Coe's 3rd Grade teacher...



One for Chase's 2nd grade teacher...



And one for their bus driver...

{50% off stamps at Jenni Bowlin Studios!!!

The Jenni Bowlin design team is continuing to choose & use our favorite stamps throughout this month. I chose one of my favorites, the Silhouette stamp, which just happens to be 50% off this month. Only $2, for real!!!



I grabbed a ton of different goodies from my JBS stash and went to work layering and playing.
I started by using a variety of the journaling cards into a "grid" style. Which by the way is a fun new challenge going on right now! Check it out now on the forums!


The Alterable Alphas were perfect for the large title I had in mind. 

For the stamped images I used the Fountain Pen ink pad and stamped the images on the new Die-Cut and Perforated Papers - Stamp...one for each of my kiddos. 


What have you stamped lately?

Here's a little something I put together for the call...

{bella blvd + twinery team up...day 3....

For the "rainbow-cloud" I took a piece of white card stock, covered the front side with adhesive & glue dots and began wrapping the twine around it. I then added a layer of dimensional pop dots to the top and added another piece of white card stock with the cloud punched out.
This is such a versatile technique!
Change the punch and the twine colors and you can get a whole new look!
Have fun with it!
