Speaking of details, here's a few close ups for you...

For the love of embellishments!!! 

To enhance the party feel, I trimmed the 3 x 4" March Kit note cards into cute banners! Such a simple idea, but I really love how effective it looked!

And how could I resist this embellishment cluster?! SO gorgeous!!! 

For my second layout, I decided to finally document Easter 2020 (or as we refer to it, the great chocolate b-lockdown, lol!)

"Happy Easter 2020"

Such a clean and simple design - kind of in keeping with the low 'iso' mood, and simpler lifestyle.

Now for a couple of projects to inspire you with...

First up, a super cute & playful 12 x 12" Christmas page, 

"Merry & Bright"

So.much.fun!!!

Elle's Studio Supplies: November Kit, Jane Tile Alphabet Stickers-White, Very Merry Chipboard Stickers, Merry & Bright Wood Veneer, Acrylic Christmas Light Bulbs, & Fa La La 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack. 

Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche, Spiegelmom Scraps Sequins & baker's twine. 

Let's take a closer look at this Festive page!

Fa La La, this page literally sings Holiday Cheer! 

With such a fun & silly Christmas photograph, it seemed only fitting to create a really playful page! 

Need I mention, those Acrylic Christmas Light Bulbs?!

Could they get any cuter?! So adorable for December documenting! 

The crisp candy cane and peppermint color scheme really enhances the layout, and with so many cool embellishments to decorate with - well, it was as much fun to make as it looks! 

I offset the freshness of this design with that divine Merry & Bright Wood Veneer title. 

The warmth & richness of this veneer creates both balance and interest to the eye! 

Another of my 'must-have' items this month! 

All these pretty embellishments teamed with the November Kit and that cute candy cane pattern Fa La La paper make this page perfection!

My second page is an 8.5 x 11" number, and is also Christmas themed....

"Oh What Fun!"

Oh what fun, indeed!

Elle's Studio Supplies: November Kit, Holiday Foodie Stickers, Very Merry Chipboard Stickers, Holiday Baking Stamp, Christmas Tabs Stamp, Fa La La 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack, & Christmas Basics 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack. 

Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche, Black, Pink & Red stamping ink, sewing machine, & sequins. 

Here's a better look at this pretty in pink Christmas tree page...

Sigh! This is just divine! 

One of my daughter's favorite Christmas gifts last year was that tiny blush pink Christmas tree. She really loves pink, and I wanted to document this for her personal album.

Her tree inspired me to fussy cut my own from the pink polka dot Christmas Basics pattern paper. I machine stitched it into place and decorated it with my photo, sequin baubles, Very Merry Christmas Chipboard Stickers and the Christmas Baking Stamp sprinkles - so effective! 

That striking red title, 'Oh, what fun!' is one of the November Kit 3 x 4" note cards that I trimmed up & stitched into place. So cool!

This really is a magical page!

I'm thinking a smaller version would look terrific in this years DD album! 

SO fun!

I hope my projects have inspired you!

Elle's Studio: Product Focus: Grateful For This Printables

 

Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio September Kit and new releases inspiration!

Today I am shining the product spotlight on our amazing Grateful For This Printables. 

The monthly printables offered by Elle's Studio are so incredibly versatile, and offer a lifetime of creative uses and possibilities! I can't get enough of them, but enough chatter, here's what I've created with them today...

Oh how cute 'n' fun! Love, indeed! 

Elle's Studio Supplies: Grateful For This Printables, & Wood Veneer Circles.

Other Supplies: White Bazzill Cardstock, white tissue paper.

When using the monthly printables, I always look for journal cards that would make for great pattern paper backgrounds, and smaller details that can be fussy cut to create my own embellishments with.  That's exactly how I created this sweet Fall themed page! 

I trimmed my white cardstock down to 8.5" x 11" so it would fit into my home printer, selected journaling tag 04 and printed it as a full size photograph. Voila! Instant pattern paper to scrapbook & craft with! Such a fantastic way to maximize the printables to work for more than just pocket page creating!  The plaid pattern design in the Fall colors is really beauti-Fall too, just sayin'!

While I had my home computer & printer still on, I proceeded to print off a mix of different sized journal cards - in particular, lots of journaling tag 05. I did this so that I would have a variety of hearts for my embellishments. 

I used journaling tag 01 & 03 from the Grateful For This Printables to back my sweet boy's photo with, and then for a bit of texture & interest, also added some torn tissue paper scraps to the layers as well. 

I foam mounted my layered photograph directly onto my freshly printed pattern paper, and then started on fussy cutting out all the hearts from journaling tag 05. The variance in sizes really does create the illusion of having more ephemera pieces. Another great way to get more from your printables! 

I positioned the hearts across the top of the plaid trim, and tucked some beneath, in and on my photo cluster. I was mindful to 'hide' some of the printed words to give the illusion of more hearts. This also aided in making more of a focal point, and subtitle, of the hearts where the printed words were still visible. 

Across the base of page, I also added a row of hearts on the edge of the plaid trim. This time, I cut some of the hearts into half to create the look of them being tucked under the plaid pattern paper, while others I glued over the plaid edge. The combination of 'under and over' really creates interest, and helps to anchor my overall page design. I fussy cut the word 'love' from journaling tag 05, and foam mounted it over the large gray heart to form my layout title. Simple, but so effective! For finishing touches, I added a couple of typewriter sentiments, a few silver sequins and those fabulous Wood Veneer Circles. The veneers add warmth and balance to my page, and well, they just look super cool! 

Simple, beautiful creating with our gorgeous Grateful For This September Printables! 

And if you're thinking that this was just a one-off, I was actually so impressed with this month's printables that I used them to create ALL my Elle's Studio projects this month! 

Here's a little more inspiration to close with....

Elle's Studio: August Kit & Stamping Inspiration!

Hi Friends! 

Welcome back for more Elle's Studio August Kit awesomeness!

With so many gorgeous items available this month, I just had to keep creating with them - or maybe it was more like, I just couldn't stop - ha! Seriously, that good! 

But enough of the chatter, here's my latest scrapbook page, 

"Big Smiles"

Oh.my.heart!!! La la love this color scheme - so pretty for my sweet & happy girl! 

Elle's Studio Supplies: August 2020 Kit, Shine Brighter Stamp, Chipboard Tags, Wood Veneer Circles, Acrylic Hearts, A New Day Stickers, Composition Stickers, August Labels, Priorities Printables, Summer Fun 6 x 8.5" Paper Stack & Puffy Heart Stickers.

Other Supplies: White Bazzill Cardstock, Black Sequins, Red/Purple&Black Stamping Ink.

Such a fun and happy page! 

Let's take a closer look....

Those layers are errrything!!!

I mixed note cards from both the August Kit & the Priorities Printables to create that eye catching stack beneath my cute photo. I tucked in an August Label or two, as well as a die cut and some of A New Day Stickers. Sweet! 

Beneath my photo stack, is a one inch trim of one of the Summer Fun pattern papers. I enhanced this trim with a mix of August Labels, Composition Stickers, A New Day Stickers, Puffy Hearts & a veneer or two! I loved how this looked, and decided to 'build' on it with a ton of repeat stamped hearts from the Shine Brighter Stamp, more puffy hearts, and even some of the fabulous Acrylic Hearts! 

The Chipboard Tags sticker was perfect for my 'photograph notes', and while I had them handy, I just had to adorn my layout with 3 of those fabulous Chipboard Tags! 

For finishing touches, I cut through all that sweet color with a few black ink stamped sentiments from the Shine Brighter Stamp & a sprinkle of black sequins. 

Simple, but oh so beautiful! 

You can see why I can't stop creating with this month's kit -
