Today I'm sharing my layouts from the June Jenni Bowlin Mercantile kit, which features lots of her newest line, Play Date. It's quickly become my new favorite because of the rich shades of red, blue and yellow. And the adorable butterfly (and pennant banner) stickers! The kit has sold out, but you can buy the individual pieces at Two Peas and still grab the add-on over at JBS.
Sweet Girl • patterned paper, journal cards, stickers (Jenni Bowlin Studio) + ticket (Maya Road) + punch (Fiskars) + pen (American Crafts) + twine, machine stitching
I knew the Play Date papers would look great with these pics of R in her denim jacket, so I used several of them, along with the JBS journal cards and those sweet little butterfly stickers.
Numbers • patterned paper, journal card, label, stickers (Jenni Bowlin Studio) + flower (Prima) + pen (American Crafts) + button, pearl
To make a simple mat for my photo strip and journaling, I wove 1/2" strips of kraft cardstock and trimmed them randomly. It's a great way to add a bit of texture without bulk!
Gala • textured cardstock, patterned paper, butterflies (Jenni Bowlin Studio) + flowers (Prima) + tickets (Maya Road) + pins (Tim Holtz) + fonts (Arial Black, Bohemian Typewriter) + stitching
I can already tell this red lace paper is going to be one that I hoard. :) I used two strips of it here and attached it to the textured cardstock with stitching. The title is cut from the font Arial Black.
Mexico • textured cardstock, rub-on, stickers, bingo card (Jenni Bowlin Studio) + buttons (Webster's Pages) + font (Traveling Typewriter) + stitching
I used one of the new Beach bingo cards from this month's project kit, along with the gorgeous yellow butterfly rub-on for this clean & simple page. Instead of using patterned paper, I stitched a grid in the blank spaces to allow the swiss-dot texture of the cardstock to show through.
