Elles Studio: March

Hi all and welcome to today's reveal of the newest kit at Elle's Studio! This month the kits evoke the bright freshness of springtime with a color palate of beautiful greens--the color that I am craving the most this time of year!  First, here's a look at this month's exclusive kit and coordinating goodies:

Here is what I made with the lovely kit:

I am a big fan of a bright green and I wanted to really feature that color in this layout documenting a sweet photo of my youngest at the park. To offer a little bit of contrast, I pulled out one of the new vellum circles in yellow, along with a few of the acrylic stars that are offered this month.

In order to show the versatility of the kit, I next wanted to create a project that wasn't overly green. One of the reasons I have been a big of Elle's Studio products, is that I am able adapt the products to fit what I am documenting at the moment.

For this layout I really liked the blue "good times" card included in the kit because it really played well off of the colors in the photos. To compliment this I pulled out the 6x6 'Tis the Season paper pack to find that great black and white patterned paper as well as the journaling cards from the Sunny Day's collection.  Together with the tags, stickers, puffy alphas, and stars from this month batch of releases I came up with a nice monochromatic layout that I was pretty happy with!

Now March is extra special at Elle's Studio because it is their birthday month and to celebrate Elle's Studio's 10th birthday there is a brand new Birthday Mini-Collection that is also available!

This kit is even better in real life and I am already in hoarding mode for most of it!!  I have even already use the birthday stamp on a project that I shared a few days ago here on the blog! Now head on over to Elle's Studio to check out how the rest of the team used this month's kit :).

Elle's Studio: February

Hi all!  February is always a fast and furious month for this mama and I am still a little surprised that today is already the 10th! Yikes.  It's all good though, because I am have been super excited to share this month's new exclusive February Kit from Elle's Studio!

Honestly, there are so many amazing things available this month and it was so incredibly hard to pick and choose what I would use on my two projects. The colors were also a welcome surprise-orange AND purple?? Yes!

Before I share my projects, I just want to say that I rarely ever use a kit to document that particular month, with the exception being Christmas product. For example, last month the kit definitely had a Valentine's/Love vibe, but I used the kit to document a spring trip to the beach. What?! This is what makes the kits so incredibly great--I can make them work for whatever I want to document at the time like I did this month with a set of pictures from both the first day of preschool and a July trip to my parents:

If I had to pick one single embellishment to have from this month's exclusive add-on item, I would go with the acrylic hearts/circles--the colors are just so pretty and my urge to hoard them forever is strong!

My next project is a pocket page for my littlest's album and it documents some pool time from this past summer:

 This page was pretty fun to put together and I love that I was able to fit so many photos in it. The 4x6 card was a great landing for a series of pictures that I took of Allora jumping into the pool and the sticker sheets made it easy to embellish.

So what catches your eye this month? Or are you like me and want it all??  Lol! To see more projects with all the goodies in action make sure and stop by the Elle's Studio blog this morning.

Elle's Studio: January

Today is the 10th and that means it is time for the reveal of the latest kit at Elle's Studio! This month the exclusive kit and coordinating extras are bright, colorful, and sweet:

My first project that I made is a Halloween spread...what?! Yes, I know, not only am I way behind in my scrapping, but I also chose to disregard the obvious love/Valentine's vibe that the kit gives off. THIS is what I love about Elle's Studio projects-I am able to make each kit work for me!

For my second project, a 9x12 layout, I relied mainly on the journaling cards to create the layers behind my photo with the addition of a few paper scraps and washi from my stash.  I also incorporated a few of the fun acrylic hearts and sequins that are available this month. For my title I misted the "True Love" wood veneer with a gold color. Unfortunately it did not photograph well AT ALL and I had to do a double take when I saw the picture pop up on my computer. It looks much better and not so splotchy in real life.

Wishing you the best day!

Elle's Studio: 2017

I am kicking off the new year with the happy news that I am continuing on with Elle's Studio for another year!  I remember being so excited when I got the DT invite a few years ago and I can honestly say that the same genuine excitement is still there :). 

Working along side these wonderfully talented ladies is going to be a blast this year and I can't wait to get started!

Elle's Studio: August

It's the 10th of the month and that means it's time for the reveal of the exclusive August Kit from Elle's Studio!

August Kit

August Extras

August Printables and Cut Files

This month, I felt a renewed energy to tackle my personal album and documented some of what I have read this past spring using a combination of the August products as well as the new Read Mini-Collection that Elle's Studio recently made available. Here are my projects:

For this first layout, I pulled the color scheme from the cards included in the Read Collection-red, pink, turquoise, and navy blue-and found complimenting pieces from both the August Kit and the Sunny Days colleciton.  My favorite piece on the project is definitely the wood veneer books. 

Next, I made a pocket page that could showcase some more of what I have read.  I relied heavily on the Read Collection, but was able able to work in the "Happy Mind Happy Life" journaling card from the kit because it really fit my book themed page. 

Remember, a new gallery is also live at Elle's Studio and I encourage you to head on over and take a look to see what the rest of the DT created!

Elle's Studio: July

July 10th means it is time for a new kit and and co-ordinating goodies from Elle's Studio! This month when I opened up my box, I was pretty darn happy. The colors and products for July are amazing and colorful, as usual!

Pretty great, right??  I think so! The fun and bright cards from the kit were where I drew most of my inspiration from and with thoughts of summertime in my head. Here is what I made:

I really fell in love with the both the camera and lemon journaling cards from the kit. I also could not resist adding the wood veneeer "Good Times" tab.

For my second project, I did a quick pocket page for my daughter's album that documented a few, everyday moments:

Part of the reason I really like kits from Elle's Studio, is that they are so incredibly colorful and pair nicely with my photos.  Occasionally though, things get a little too colorful for my liking and to fix this I will often print one or two photos in black and white. 

Well, what do you think?? Are you digging the fun colors like I am?? I don't know about you, but these colors pretty much represent my life--a big, happy rainbow:).

Remember, a new gallery is also live at Elle's Studio and I encourage you to head on over and take a look!
