NSD Blog Hop with My Scraps & More!

Hello and welcome to the National Scrapbook Day Blog Hop!

If you're here out of order, start from the beginning at the My Scraps and More blog.

http://www.myscrapsandmore.com/

Each of the 6 Designers have used one of the items in the image below in a project.


Hop along to each blog to see how they have used the product, and then leave a comment for each DT member.  One random winner will be chosen from one of the DT's blogs to win each of the items that the design team used!

Here is what I created using one of the Jillibean Soup Placemats.  I first used it as a mask and spritzed some Color Shine over it.  Then, I cut three large triangles out of it and backed each opening with patterned paper to create a collage of colors.  I used the new Sightseeing Stew line for this.


There are so many fun elements in this line...these placemats can be used whole, in pieces or as masks.  Definitely room to get creative :)  I embellished with one of the wooden nickels, one of the cute sprinkles, and lots of stickers.


Here's a close up of the placemat.  Backing it with patterned paper is really easy and has a great effect!


One more close up...I just had to use this cute airplane piece since my page is about traveling and we are actually in a plane :)


Comments close on Sunday, May 4th at midnight, and the winner will be posted on the My Scraps and More blog on Monday, May 5th.  Your kit prize will include:

2 Jillibean Soup Placemats
