Hi guys! So this will be my last post here on Typepad, if you didn't know I've moved to a new blog home - it's www.jenjockisch.com. I got tired of messing with HTML and CSS to make my blog look the way I wanted to - and this move has made things so much easier. So be sure to head over to my new blog (and update your reader feeds!) because I have a cool giveaway tonight!

Some Fancy Pants pages...
(I've moved! Don't forget to update your reader feeds for my blog to www.jenjockisch.com!) We are enjoying an AMAZING 3-day weekend here in Central Illinois (Thanks, Christopher Columbus!) The weather is great and we spent time with family and friends. Ayla and I are getting ready to head off to see A Dolphin Tale in a bit, but I wanted to pop in and share some of my pages for my guest design spot at Fancy Pants.
This first page, Today, was a ton of fun to make. I cut the 'Today' portion from my Silhouette and then layered a bunch of chipboard banner pieces and embellishments. Love how this design came out!

Ayla is super into her Scooter, she plays with it every single day. I love that I caught this photo of her in motion on it, it just so reflects her right now to me. I knew I wanted to make the page kind of crazy and fun to go along with the photo, so I again cut my background with my Silhouette and then just layered a bunch of stuff. This entire page is so totally her to me, and I love it.

6x6 Paper Pad Mini plus FREE 2Peas shipping code!
Hi guys! I've got a couple things to share. I have a ton of 6x6 paper pads, but I'm not really a cardmaker so for some reason I never really looked at them too closely. Then it occurred to me that A. they are smaller scale designs of patterns I love which makes me happy because I like tight patterns, and B. they are PERFECT for making mini books! This book is a work in progress, I'm hoping to fill it up with photos of our daughters, together. I'd like to add to it as we go and maybe document their bond right now for them to see years down the road.
Also, I've got a great deal for my blog readers - Free shipping at 2Peas on all domestic orders over $35.00!
This was super easy to make - using the 6x6 paper pads I just adhered two sheets back to back, and kept on going until I had the number of pages I wanted. Then I just folded them all at about an inch depth so that the pages would turn easily. I punched a few to different widths just to add some variety and added in some tags and embellishments and that was it. I love that since I've bound it with clips I can add pages as needed. (And good news! Right now all 6x6 paper pads are on sale for 25% off at Two Peas!)

New page in the garden and a new blog home!
Hi guys! I'm so excited today!I just recently decided to start a new blog, www.jenjockisch.com (be sure to update your reader/rss feeds with the new link!) for a few different reasons. First, I was fed up with trying to figure out CSS and HTML to customize my blog, a web developer I am not. Second, my old blog, ginger [email protected] was very confusing for people in that I'd get emails from people thinking my name was Ginger Grace. Which it is not. Those are just nicknames. So anyway, I decided to give a new site a whirl. Please bear with me as I'm still working out some kinks, I know some of the header functionality is not working properly and I hope to get it up and running soon!
So I just had a new page go up in the Garden at 2Peas today, it's one of my favorites in a while! We did a product focus this month, I chose Crate Paper Random. For this page, I cut some stars with my Silhouette from white card stock, and then used that as a negative to piece together a background. I really just cut some random triangle shapes and kept cutting until they fit. I added in some embellishments, misted the Pink Paislee Woodshop alphas with Mister Huey's Pony, (my FAVE color! so looks like stained wood) and that was it! Oh! I also wanted to mention how much I LOVE the new Prima crystals. They seem a little different to me from other jewels in the way they're cut and I love the colors. Definite must have.

Honored.
To have been asked to guest for Crate Paper. This is my second time working with them and they are wondeful people with out of this world product! I have always loved all of their products but the new lines, especially Random, are my most favorite products in a while. (You can find complete supply lists, if you're interested in that - except for cardstock because I'm too lazy, in the images below the layouts)
This is easily my most favorite page I made, and possibly my favorite to date. I used my Silhouette to cut the images and then only removed some of the cuts. I popped it up with AC foam adhesive and then embellished the center.
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Love this one too! More Silhouette cutting with the hearts. I layered chipboard pieces underneath the heart and used my negative for journaling.
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | |
I layered a bunch of bits of patterned papers behind the heart and then embellished he rest. Added in a few brads and some ribbon and that was it!
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| |
I don't usually create theme-y pages, they're kind of difficult for me for some reason. But the Peppermint line was perfect for this page!
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | |
A not so great photo that I've been wanting to scrap for a while. I cut the circles with my Silhouette and then added in some buttons and brads. The paper curl was made with a strip of paper wound around a pencil and then adhered with foam adhesive.
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Hope you guys enjoyed these layouts!

October Studio Calico Kit - Field Guide Reveal!
Hi guys! I'm super excited for this reveal today! I loved this kit so much - I made 8 layouts and have plans for more! (I can't wait to work with the mini in add-on 4!)
Some things to note - add-on 1, add-on 3 and add-on 4 sold out in minutes today, so you better hurry and get them while you can! SC is now offerning More Gray as an add-on kit. LOVE this new option! Also, don't forget that the Crop Bags are back in the shop. $8.95 for a pack of six; I put the Main kit and 2 add-ons in 1 bag this month. I think they may change my unorganized scrapbooking life.

And I wanted to let you know that I'm trying something new for my supply lists. Complete lists will be pictured beneath each layout, just click the image for the link. Here we go!
Lots and lots of layers and dimension on this page. I think the hot pink of the Barbie car is the perfect added color, and this is my favorite photo to date of the girls.

Possibly my fave page, and it came about as an accident. I always test my stamps on scraps before using them, and after I tested the arrows I loved the look of this random placement. The Ormolu cards in add-on 4 are a huge favorite of mine.

Another happy accident using some random leftover scraps from my Silhouette. I misted with some Mister Huey and added a lot of embellishments. The Crate Farmhouse chipboard accents are perfect for layering and clustering and add so much dimension. Super fun page to make!

This page was created using the Main kit only, and I love it. The paper twirl was made by cutting a thin strip of patterned paper and twirling it around a pencil and then adhering with foam adhesive. I punched the journaling cards with my XXL circle punch.

Lots and lots of use of the heart punch on this page, which is unfortunately sold out right now. (Which is why you never wait if you want something!)

I embossed and stamped twice on this page! I think that's a record! I love those Kraft Envelopes for holding a lot of journaling, or things you want kept private. Mine was just lengthy.

Pink Princess
Hi guys! I have a new challenge up on the Studio Calico blog. It's all about using one color only on your pages. I'd love to see your take on this challenge! Link them up here for a chance to win an SC Gift Certificate.
I used to hate the color pink. Way too girly for me and I have never been a girl girl. But then we went and had not one, but 2 girls. One of whom already cites pink as her favorite color (along with purple) and another who is still too young to pick, but I'm sure it will be pink. So I've had to embrace it. To create this page I cut some hearts from patterned paper with my Silhouette and then layed down the negative side, tracing around one of the outlines with a pink marker. I adhered it only at the edges with my Tiny Attacher so that I could slip in little bits. I misted the wood veneers for my title as well as one of he punched out hearts and added them in. Then I just added a few embellishments (love the Martha Stewart Findings) and stamped with some Grapefruit Zing. Supplies used are listed below. Hope you enjoyed this challenge!

Field Guide Sneaks!
Hi guys! So it's time for sneaks from this month's Studio Calico kit, Field Guide! I got add-on1, add-on2 and add-on 4 this month, and had some stuff from add-on3 in my stash already. This kit may edge out Lawn Party as my favorite ever, I made 8 layouts already and have plans for a few more!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
I used the Main kit, add-on 1, add-on 2 and add-on 4 for this page. I cut the hearts from my Silhouette and then misted with Pony and Heirloom Blue. You can also see the Heart punch here, and I think I used it on every single page this month.

Guesting at Crate today!
Hi guys!
At Summer CHA I accosted Lisa from Crate and told her how in love I was with her new lines. Seriously one of my most favorite releases ever. Luckily for me she then asked me to guest design for them. I'll share a few peaks here but you can see the full reveal on the Crate Blog. I'll share my layouts along with some tips and supply lists a little later. Thanks for stopping by!

Winner and NEW Studio Calico at 2Peas!
Sorry I'm late posting a winner, I've been knee deep in scrapbook supplies.
Anya L said...
Sounds like a lot of fun! I would love to read that book!
Contact me at [email protected] and we'll hook you up with the Ella E-book! Thanks everyone who entered!
The new Studio Calico is in at 2Peas as of today, and I don't think I've shared the layouts I made for the CHA booth yet. Mainly because one of our cats decided my MacBook was a bathroom at about the same time.
So here you go.
This is my favorite. It's one of my favorite photos, and I was so happy with how this page turned out. I used the Tan Bracket die-cut paper as my base, then layered some of the Teal Intertwined Die-cut paper, Wallpaper Memoir paper, Heirloom Memoir paper and the Memoir Flower Bed paper and then embellished with the Wood Veneer Houses and the Sihouette Clear stamps. I used my Silhouette to cut the leaves, some were cut from the Memoir Fabrips and I misted the others, using Plum Thumb (my new fave!), Custard, Heirloom Blue and Clay. I finished it off with a bow made from the Memoir Fabrips and the Teal Chipboard Alphas for the title.
a
This page is a duplicate of a page I've done previously, April asked for it in the Memoir line and I was happy to comply since it was a no-brainer. I used almost all of the Memoir Collection papers for the paper rolls. More Teal Alphas for the title and Plum Thumb Mister Huey for the punched out heart. Easy Peasy.
The Alphabet Embossed mini came together super fast, I love when that happens! I had recently gotten an IPhone and it's the perfect size to house your Instagram pics. I used Plum Thumb on the cover (I told you it was my fave!) and the new Memoir alphas for the title. Lots of Memoir papers, Cloud chipboard shapes and Heirloom Blue and Estate Green Mister Huey on the inside.
So that's it! I hope you like them. I have to finish this post off with a couple of my FAVORITE new photos of the girls. We're die-hard Bears fans around here and the girls helped us celebrate their win last Sunday.
