A Toot, ShortCuts & Jillibean Soup Guest DT

I have a few things to share today, but let me first start with a.....TOOT. I've been asked by Kelly from Custom Crops to join their Design Team. Custom Crops is an online store based in the USA, but also ships internationally. They have a large selection of Cricut cartridges and Cuttlebug dies and folders, but also many other products. I am excited to be a member of their team.

It's Friday, and that means I have a ShortCuts project to show you. This week it is all about outside the box projects, and I created this bookmark from a frosted sheet. It's quite clean & simple, but Fleur loves it and asked if she could use it. The blue papers from the various Jillibean Soup collections seem to be my favorites at the moment. The colors and designs blend really well.



Supplies: ShortCuts Frosted Full Sheet Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper Patterned paper: Jillibean Soup Tools: Martha Stewart Cornice edge punch, Crealies Creative Flowers 06, Crealies Creative Shapes 01, Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder Other: ribbon

Today the new Guest Designers for Jillibean Soup were announced, and I was so excited to see some familiar names. One of the guest designers is my sister-in-law Lisette. Another guest designer is my sweet friend Hanneke. I was also happy to see that Juliana and Berdien made it to the Guest Design Team. Congrats to all Guest Designers!

And more happy news to share today. Sanne had her weekly swimming lesson this afternoon, and she got a letter telling her that she will have her exam for swimming certificate A on Saturday October 3rd at 8am. Needless to say, she was excited....and so am I!

Have a wonderful weekend!
