LO share

 

Stopping by to share!  This first one uses an old CTMH line

of papers and stickers, along with a cut from one of the CTMH

Cricut cartridges (the beige mat under the photo). 

 

 

 

This next one uses Simple Stories though I can't remember if it's

Daily Grind or 24/7.... it's from a boatload of papers & goodies that

my bestie sent me last year! 

 

 

The bottom two drawings on this layout are actually pictures that I took

of one of Nick's book covers, from his school books.  The book fell out of his

backpack and I thought his little story was too funny and way

cute.  It *had* to be documented.  ;-) 

 

 

I also used up some Elle's Studio wood veneers and Thickers for the title.

 

Thanks for stopping by and leaving love!

our selfies

So I was playing with my Canon printer, which I *love* because not only

does it print really well but I can print through WiFi from my

iPhone (!), and I was trying to print four smaller pix onto

one 4x6 paper.  I have an app called A Beautiful Mess on my phone

and I was messing with that, too.  FUN! I wound up with 3 sets

of the same four pictures but I never quite got the sizing right. 

 Of course I wasn't going to throw away the pictures!  I made a

page about them.  All funny angles and all.  :D  I also left

the white borders intact.  Title is Thickers and Simple Stories.

 

 

I used up some of the Elle's Studio wood veneers and tags.  I LOVE

Elle's Studio!  I also used up scraps from Simple Stories' Daily

Grind and I Heart Summer collections. 

 

 

These super cute enamel dots are Heidi Grace Designs! 

 

 

Until next time, thanks for stopping by and leaving love!

Elle's Studio

Elle's Studio is an online shop that I've followed for a while..  It was when I saw my

friend Valerie's blog-- I *love* her work!-- that I knew I wanted the ES Jan

kit (check it out HERE!).  Here's Valerie's take:  Valerie's BLOG! 

 

So I used some of those cards on my post yesterday, wrote down some of

 my 2014 goals: One Year Later

 

Today I saw this on Elle's Studio FB page and I *had* to copy it! 

 

 

So, I didn't have the background paper, I didn't have the paper for that gorgeous heart, either.  I found something else that was suitable and the heart, well, I made my own with CTMH background stamps.  I even enjoyed the sewing part!

 

 

(I used the stamp on the bottom left on cream cardstock, with brown ink)

 

 

The background paper is Pink Paislee, the "@" is American Crafts, the pink stamped stars & arrows are Technique Tuesday, steel dies are TT, and all else is the Elle's Studio kit. 

 

 

The arrows are die cuts from a Technique Tuesday steel die (see those HERE).

 

 

And about those Technique Tuesday dies... I've gotten a few of them and I *love* them.  Still love my Cricut, of course, but sometimes you just want a quick die and your Big Shot or Cuttlebug to get a quick cut.  :)  Here's a page I made yesterday with some TT dies. 

 

 

The background paper is CTMH (Dream Pop), the "hugs" "love" and arrow are TT dies, while "SWEET" and "TODAY" are Cricut cuts from the Small Talk Frames & Tags cartridge.  There's also a CTMH stamp on the left-sided card, and American Crafts button on the heart, and the right-most card is Webster's Pages.  I felt like sewing on this one, too.  Love the cute touch that gives. 

 

 

 

So today Elle's Studio has announced their next kit... and yes, I ordered a few bits.  I ordered this morning and ALREADY got a "shipped" notice-- talk about GREAT SERVICE! 

 

Here it is, and you can order it HERE.

 

 

 

Sorry for enabling... but it's a cool little bag of embellies that you get

through fast service.  Love it!

 

 Thanks for stopping by and leaving love!

 

Blessings,
