Jenni Bowlin Studio just released a new collection (and opened a brand new message board) and today a lucky commenter will win the brand new release. If you’ve just popped by on the Jenni Bowlin blog hop, welcome! I hope you’ll have a look around! And of course, enter for a chance to win some brand new Jenni goodness!

Here’s what’s new in November from JBS:

Red and black patterned paper collection… these come in 12×12, plus the six square papers also come in a set of 4×4 sheets – that’s what I used in the layout.

Matching red and black journaling cards – one of each design in a pack.

A new shaped journaling card that comes in a notepad. There are three sets in this shape – this is the vintage set, then there is a calendar collection and my favourite: polka-dots. Be still my heart. I’ve already used about five of the polka dot pages in the last three days!

Three new sets of mini bingo cards: calendars in multi-colours and black plus a Thanksgiving/autumn gratitude set.

And something I have been loving and just can’t wait for it to hit stores: the new Jenni Bowlin for Ranger collection. You can already find them at JBS Mercantile. The collection includes paint dabbers, ink pads and reinkers in Jenni’s signature colours. I love that they truly are a perfect match. I’ve been using all three in the same colour on a layout to make everything coordinate. Very, very cool! The pink is my absolute favourite.

On to the giveaway! You can win:
…a set of the new Red/Black Extension III, including 12×12 papers, die cut paper, mini paper and journaling cards
…one new diecut journaling part (vintage, polka dot or calendar, chosen at random)
…one new mini bingo card set (calendar multi, calendar black or Thanksgiving, chosen at random)
Pretty cool! The prize pack will be dispatched from Jenni Bowlin Studio straight to the winner. Entries are welcome from anywhere in the world!

To enter, leave a comment on this thread suggesting something you think others should read or watch. Easy! (By the way, the comment form works best if you click the preview button first.)

Entries close midday UK time this Friday and I’ll announce the winner by Saturday. Good luck!

For all the stops on the blog hop, visit the Jenni Bowlin Studio Inspiration Blog so you can see all the participants — they all have a set of goodies to give away.

PS: The post with all the supply ideas for Journal your Christmas? It will go up in the middle of the day Wednesday! One slight hiccup – want to make sure something is actually available before I say it’s the bee’s knees. Useful, I suppose! I promise it’s headed your way very shortly. Cheers.

Just a quick little heads up to let you know I have two pages up on the blog over in Jenni Bowlin land. I hope you’ll hop over to check out lots of red and black birthday scrapping.

Today I’m working on a little special something that is part of True Stories — I’ll share as soon as it’s done! And don’t miss all the giveaways from the special guests – leaving a comment on their blogs could make you the lucky winner!

Starting off the CHA report, there are heaps of beautiful things from the ever-classy Jenni Bowlin Studio. So much pretty!

My must-have: these Embellished Butterflies. So very pretty with pattern and just a bit of bling in the classic butterfly silhouette.

The Homespun collection mixes florals with farm prints. The polka dot die cut paper is supercute and the journaling card set is my favourite in this collection. This line will be in stores soon.

The Red/Black Line Extension II collection has more butterflies plus small vines and large floral prints, plus a gorgeous red damask circle paper. This line is available now.

New stickers include the classic labels given a cute twist with plenty of colourful polka dots and bunting sticker sets that include the bunting banner pieces in different colours to coordinate with the collections and an alphabet that sticks right onto the flag, all on the same sheet. Love these!

Also gorgeous reproductions of Jenni’s favourite vintage buttons. Is it wrong that I actually want to sew plenty of them on my clothes as well as my scrapbook pages?

The buttons, stickers, butterflies and also pretty stick pins will be in stores very soon.

And here’s a look around Jenni’s inspiring booth, with projects from the Jenni Bowlin Studio design team.
