MARIA LACUESTA: The Poolside Mason Jars, like their real life counterparts, can be used for a myriad of crafty endeavors. So this week, I decided to create a couple different projects showcasing these adorable pockets.
In my first project, I used one of the white mason jars to create a dashboard for my planner. I like the idea of being greeted by something inspirational every time I open up my planner. Here, I included the words, "create something everyday", because this is a goal I want to focus on right now.
I printed out the word strips on white sticker paper, so I can peel them off the plastic. I may want to replace this goal with another one once I master it.
I kept my embellishments simple. In the top right corner is a cute metal clip from the Poolside collection and inside the Mason Jar are gold sequins that I tucked inside. Then, I used a Sharpie to draw shine lines above the jar.
I love the idea of filling Mason Jars with little treasures and in this project, I'm literally filling my jar with words and ideas that are important to me. I continue this theme in the scrapbook layout below.
In this project, I used an assortment of embellishments that came with the Mason Jars and positioned them so they're streaming out of the jar and off the page. I also mixed in pieces from the Confetti collection by Maggie Holmes and, again, included sentiments inside the jar that are close to my heart.
I had so much fun creating these projects and I still have four more jars left. I'm already thinking of other ideas and I definitely want to include one of these amazing jars in my pockets pages.
We have only ONE scrapbook store in Las Vegas any more. I just ordered this line from them, but it won't be in until late May. I REALLY REALLY hope I get my items in time to play along in this challenge. Where/how did everyone get theirs already? I'm a tad jealous. I really hope I can play along.

Karen,
Have you tried contacting American Crafts directly? I know that is a bit of a reach, but it would be worth a try. Often times, popular embellishments like this one sell quickly because of their uniqueness. If you are still having trouble finding the jars, please contact us directly - cpblog@cratepaper.com - thanks!
