American Crafts Studio Blog: My Favorite Layouts and Cards

First, congrats to the winner of their favorite line, Jasmine Ford:

We loved knowing what your favorite color is and expect to see lots of scrapping projects with said favorites!

Speaking of favorites, we're wrapping up this week with a pair of layouts, a card, and a mini album made by Jenny Chesnick and Leah Farquharson: Supplies: Fluttery Paper (35417) - Hello Sunshine, Delight Paper (35399) Hello Sunshine, Dainty Paper (35404) - Hello Sunshine, Glimmer Paper (35407) - Hello Sunshine, Brilliance Paper (35415) - Hello Sunshine, Zippy Paper (35411) - Hello Sunshine, Sunbeam (72011) - Delights, Fantastic White (53110) - Thickers, Brown .05 (62326) - Precision Pens, White (32112) - Galaxy Markers; Other supplies: Silhouette SD

Jenny shares, "When asked to create my 'favorite' layout I have to admit I was stumped! What to choose? So I turned to a couple of my favorite scrapbooking items: my Silhouette, a punch, and pretty patterned papers. You can find a mix of all of these on most of my creations as of late. Combined with some crazy photos of me and my bestie, what could be better? The title of this layout makes me giggle even now and has turned into one of my very favorite layouts.
