At the time of posting this, my September Kit is still in transit. 

(Australian postal services are under high demand, and greatly affected by the current global crisis)

So, rather than miss out on sharing some Elle's Studio love with you all, I thought it might give me an opportunity to shine the product spotlight on the incredible 

September Grateful For This Printables. 

So here goes....

My first scrapbook layout is a sweet 12 x 12 page, 

"Lots of Love"

Oh how sweet is this?!!

Elle's Studio Supplies: Grateful For This Printables, Bright Polka Dot 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack, Love You Lots Metal Die. 

Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche, machine stitching, sequins.

I printed the Grateful For This Printables directly from the PDF, & then also printed the Journaling Tag 05 at A4 size. I fussy cut out all the hearts, the labels and even the sentiment, 'Love You Lots', and then added some extra die cut hearts with the Bright Polka Dot papers & the Love You Lots Metal Die. 

I arranged all my die cuts onto the layout in a vertical design, and then machine stitched them into place.  

I layered my foam mounted photograph onto the main, green heart and sprinkled sequins for finishing touches. Simple, minimal and yet so effective! Love it!

My second layout is a cute 8.5" x 11" page, 

"Filled With Joy"

So cute!

Elle's Studio Supplies: Grateful For This Printables,  Bright Polka Dot 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack, Love You Lots Metal Die. 

Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche, machine stitching, gold foil photo corners, & jewels.

Let's take a closer look....

This is so fresh and fun! 

This time, I printed Journaling Tag 01 at A4 size, and used some of the remaining PDF prints too!

Like my previuos page, I combined a mix of fussy & die cuts to maximise the Grateful For This Printables. 

Those layers are so good!

And let's not forget that amazing,  Love You Lots Metal Die! Awesome! 

And there you have it! 

Two really different, but seriously awesome scrapbook pages with the 

Elle's Studio September Grateful For This Printables. 

Be sure to check back here a lil later in the month for more Elle's Studio inspiration -

once my kit arrives! (I.can't.wait!!!)

Elle's Studio: Product Spotlight - June Digitals!

Hi Friends!

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio inspiration! 

Today I am shining the product spotlight on the fabulous June 2020 Printables aptly titled, Summer Snapshots. 

It's no secret that I LOVE the versatility of digital products, 

but when combined with the awesome colors and designs that Elle is famous for, well, it needs no explanation! 

Happy crafting days! 

But enough chatter, here's what I created with the June 2020 Printables, 

"Summer Snapshots"

Elle's Studio Supplies: June 2020 Kit, Summer Snapshots Printables, Chipboard Star Stickers, Puffy Alphabet Banners, Summer Fun 6 x 8.5" Paper Stack, Summer Fun Stamp.

Other: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche, Stamping Ink - Black, Light Blue & Mint, Sewing Machine Stitching, Pom Pom Trim, & Sequins. 

Oh.my.stars! Quite literally, all those stars! 

Such a delicate & divine approach to Summer documenting. 

Perfect for that sweet photo of my darling boy, when he was just a toddler, nawww! 

Let's take a closer look....... 

So soft & dreamy! 

As soon as I saw the Summer Snapshots journaling tag with the large star on it, I knew I would create something magical! I individually selected this journaling tag in my Windows software, pressed print, and chose to print 4 copies of it in the 9 x 13cm size, in the Print Pictures screen.

Once printed, I used a craft knife to cut out one of the star shapes, and backed this card with my photo. This created a fabulous frame and focal point for my photograph. 

Such a simple idea, and yet so effective! Love it!

Inspired by this star, and a love of fussy cutting, I cut around the remaining 3 stars ensuring the mint green color outlined each one. I love repetition in design, and I couldn't help but use all the stars! I fussy cut the small blue stars from one of the 6 x 4 journal cards from the June Kit and adhered them with foam tape throughout my layout. I also used that star label die cut to mount one of the sentiments from the Chipboard Star Stickers too! 

The star pattern paper from the Summer Fun 6 x 8.5" Paper Stack didn't stand a chance, and naturally, I had to feature it. With the presence of so much blue in my page, I revisited the Summer Snapshots Printables. I printed, then cut out, the blue 'Summer Snapshots' journal card. I foam mounted this fussy cut sentiment and created my layout title. 

This awesome title then inspired the use of banners throughout my layout. 

I trimmed the star pattern paper into a pennant style banner, which I then layered my framed photo onto. I also used the gray polka dot paper from the Summer Fun pack, and crafted an over sized banner label which I adhered to my white cardstock base. 

I machine stitched the blue star banner onto the polka dot one, and then continued to adorn my scrapbook page with stars and banners. 

For a finished and polished look, I completed my layout with a mix of color coordinating sequins from my stash, and those amazing Summer Fun Stamps! I stamped the stars in mint and pale blue inks, and used black ink for my 'summer tradition' journaling. 

Who would've thought that the humble pocket card printable could be so amazingly beautiful

 (& versatile)?!

 I hope I have given you some new ideas on using the wonderful Elle's Studio Digitals in your everyday documenting, and that you feel inspired!

Elle's Studio: La La Love You Printable Inspiration!

Hi Creative Friends!

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio January Kit Love,
plus some True Love Printable Inspiration!
I just adore creating love-filled pages, and this kit was perfect for this!
Here's what I created,

 "La La Love You" - 8.5 x 11" layout 

Oh, how adorable is this?! La la love, indeed! 

And you bet I put hearts on it!!!

Elle's Studio Supplies: January Kit, I Adore You Stickers, La La Love You Puffy Stickers, Little Moments Leatherette Stickers, You Are Loved Die Cuts, & True Love Printables. 

Other Supplies: Printer quality white A4 paper, home printer, baker's twine - natural. 

Such a sweet scrapbook page & for those of you who follow my creating, you'd know that this is my 5th scrapbook page that I have created with the January Kit and new releases. Yes, you read correctly, layout #5 because the January Kit is THAT awesome! That said, I was definitely getting low on supplies when I made this - so how did I get my kit and extras to stretch so far? 

Three little words: Elle's Studio Printables! Here's how....

I started my layout by downloading & extracting the Elle's Studio True Love Printables Zipped File to my laptop, which uses Windows software. Once extracted, instead of clicking on the True Love PDF, I  double right clicked on the icon named: EllesStudio-TrueLove-January2020-Printables-JournalingTag02. I then selected to print this image in the standard Windows Print Pictures option. I selected the following: A4 photo size, best quality photo and printed the image to 'fill the page'. I used a quality white A4 printer paper to print with, but a light weight 80pound smooth cardstock would also work well here. 

*Please note that printed colors may vary depending on your individual paper, printer and ink options. 

Once printed, I trimmed my A4 paper down to the 8.5" x 11" layout size. Perfect! Who would've thought that our Printable Note Cards would also make fabulous pattern papers?! Love it! 

Such a great way to maximize your Elle's Studio supplies and make them last that little bit longer! 

With such a fabulous striped pattern at the top and base of my paper, I decided to fill the white area with my sweet girl's photograph. I layered my photo onto my few remaining note cards from the January Kit - you'll spy that the 4 x 6" card is actually the same pattern design (only a different color) as the printed one. I trimmed it to 4 x 5" to better fit my page, then layered the 3 x 4 note cards over it. Repeat patterns, shapes, and colors are all integral elements to my design style. With this in mind, it was quickly determined that my page would feature horizontal stripes, hearts, and that super pretty pink & green color palette with red, black and white accents. 

To the right of my photo cluster, I embellished with the Love Tag from the You Are Loved Die Cuts pack. I adorned the tag with a La La Love You Puffy Sticker heart (of course!) and some baker's twine from my stash. For added impact, I foam mounted the tag which added some subtle dimension to the page. 

On the pretty pink stripes at the top of the printed paper, I embellished with my La La Love You Puffy Sticker title and I Adore You Stickers sentiments and journaling. The puffy alphas fitted perfectly inside the stripe, and really popped against the pink! As my layout appeared to have alternating stripes or features of black and white, I added the 'cutie' puffy alphas in black above my photo cluster to maintain this look and achieve balance.

For finishing touches, I added a few more of the You Are Loved Die Cuts and that fabulous Little Moments Leatherette Sticker. 

Simple, easy, loved up creating with our January Kit and extras! 

I hope my layout has inspired you to document your loved ones, and to stretch your kits a little further with our amazing Elle's Studio Printables!
