Summer Smiles!

 

So are you having a great summer so far?  What a fabulous day we had here...sun, sun and more sun!  I am always in a better mood when the sun is out. 

 
It's Showcase Monday at Scrapbooker's Paradise and our theme this month is Summer Fun!  How appropriate since I was in the mood to make some fun summer cards!  I have been really enjoying working with one line of product.  It really makes it so easy, since everything coordinates and I find my projects come together so quick.  So quick that before I knew it, I had three cards ready to go...and they all feature the same Jillibean products! 

Are you ready?  Here's the first:

 
Products used:
Jillibean Soup: Watermelon Gazpacho Seedless Cucumber & Orange Juice designer Papers

 and another close up! I just love Jillibean's Journalling Sprouts!  There are twenty four of these little designer circles in a package and I just love circles as design elements.  They match the colours and patterns of the Jillibean paper lines and it makes it so fun to mix 'n match and layer away!  I am really looking forward to their next release.
