Featuring...Jenni Bowlin

With all the great and amazing new product scheduled to hit the store in the coming weeks, you should anticipate a lot more Featuring... spots!! Especially with the new Jenni Bowlin in the store. All of her stuff is always inspiring and fun to play with! But get it while you can...this stuff flies off the shelves like flies.

Her new line is very "Americana" with lots of cherries and stars, with blue and red dominating the colour scheme. There is even a journaling with a cow and the word "moo" on it!! Love it! One of the new items to hit the shelves are her pattern chipboard buttons...with text and pictures and ledger paper, they fit any style and are super fun! And her new stuff coordinates quite well with all her "old" stuff...which we also got restocked because I think all the TM girls are Ga-Ga for Jenni!

With that, here is a little extra Techneek to go with my Ga-Ga For Jenni layout!

Remember alcohol ink? Remember that it works on slick surfaces...like stickers? I desperately needed to change the colour of these stickers (I have a "thing" with mixing white and off-white), so I grabbed some Terracotta alcohol ink, an applicator felt thing and the wood applicator handle thing (all very technical terms...) and altered my sticker. Check it out...

Put ink on your applicator. You don't need a lot at all...a little goes a long way in this case!

Smear and smudge and rub your ink all over your sticker. I liked the swirly effect mine had going for it.
The finished sticker is very orange (hey...I like orange) and matches my layout much more to my satisfaction!
At any rate here is my completed layout...I got a new iPod for Valentine's and I wanted to commemorate the moment. I used the Starbucks "Pick-of-the-Week" card as my jumping off point. (Note: if you have an iPod and shop at Starbucks I highly recommend these little gems...a free song per week and usually it's a goodie! Plus they have free Wi-Fi so you can pick it up right there!)


Here is a close up of the Jenni letter stickers - there are a bunch to choose from and all have text or ledger pattern within the letters - and the pearls. I used a whole pack of pearls on my layout because they are my new best friend and are so cool and I really want to be seen with them so their coolness rubs off on me a little. Swoon.

I sprayed Peach glimmer mist and splattered some watered down black paint and Terra Cotta alcohol ink all over my background to add a little "rock star"

This line would go great with heritage or vintage photos, but as you can see from my layout her stuff also looks great alongside the latest of today's technology! Have fun exploring all that Jenni has to offer. See you Saturday...maybe I'll get my last Project post up as well and it will be a two-for!

Until next time...
