Cards - Jillibean Soup & Doodlebug

I really have not been scrapbooking. It's been three weeks now!  Instead, I've been making cards nonstop for a while.  Next week begins our annual United Way auction, and after nearly 10 years of planning to be organized each year, I am actually organized this year!  I had prepared close to 50 cards and envelopes, photographed them, uploaded them to the company auction site, and they are ready for the grand opening next Monday! 

Meanwhile, here are a couple of cards I made for Jillibean Soup.  It was my first time using a pad of 6x6 papers and are they ever wonderful for cardmaking. As a scrapbooker primarily, I don't buy patterned papers in such sizes, so it was a delightful experience to try these mini-stacks and I can totally see how these product address a need in the cardmaking segment of the market!! I am a fan!!

This banner was created with My Favorite Things' Die-namics banner dies. Of course I used a trusted SRM sticker sentiment as well.

Now onto my first two official cards designed for Doodlebug, you can see more inspiration here and get the supply list for my cards. These Create-A-Card from Doodlebug are cute enough to mail as they are!  Gosh, the colors are just so colorful and cheerful!  This banner here is even easier to create!  Both banners are glittered cardstock stickers from Doodlebug. Peel and stick!  I did add a little 3-d foam dots behind the tip of the triangles to help them pop out a little bit.  Adorable stuff!

I went with a non-Halloween theme because I have plans to use the adorable Monster Mania collection on a layout this weekend.  I finally am going to scrapbook again!  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
