Thank you Elle's Studio

So I haven't shared a Project Life® spread in a while and the reason is the last week I completed I did for Elle's Studio.  I am their guest designer for December! Exciting stuff!  Here is a link to Elle's Designer Gallery where you can see all the stuff that her team made this month, its all pretty fabulous.

Here is what I made for her;


Her November kit was full of great stuff for a Thanksgiving spread and it was a lot of fun to work with.


 
This title card came with just the November printed on it.  I found a similar font and added the rest myself and just printed it right on her card.


I also did two layouts, this one using her super cute December kit that just went on sale today along with parts of her Noel line.



The second layout was using her boy themed kit, Cameron. 



 
Thanks so much Elle for having me, it sure was a lot of fun!

December Daily 2013 - days 6, 7 and 8

This past weekend we took a trip to Lake Tahoe, it was absolutely gorgeous and well timed for lots of snow.  I was lucky and got some really great shots and everything I included on these pages were taken with my iPhone 5.

Day 6


I placed the journaling in the middle printed on vellum.


Day 7


This day was magic! Simone had a blast and there was so much great stuff to include but I held back and just added these few images. The Let it Snow is from a digital card from Oh Snap Boutique I just modified it in Photoshop to just use the text.


The digital pieces on the insert are from Studio Calico this month and can be found here and here. I opted to attached the photos to the outside of the bag instead of slipping them in.


Day 8


We will miss Tahoe, the cold temps not so much but it's pretty cold at home still.  This week is crazy busy so I'll do my best to stay caught up.

See you soon.

December Daily 2013 - day 5

So here I am breaking the rules again, the hanging of the outdoor lights, didn't happen today but that's okay, it happened and its holiday related.


The spread is super, super simple and some days that's exactly what I need.  I adored this photo of Simone and had to make it nice and large. The deck the halls is a cut file from Studio Calico that was previously available and I decided to cut it on red glitter paper with my Cameo.  Everything is better with glitter.  This paper is from Best Creations and it does cut on the cameo but you have to be careful with the blade settings, this was set on 9 and it had to be double cut.  I added a bit more red glitter with some ribbon from the kit and the gold five to decorate things up just a bit.

Have a great weekend!

December Daily 2013 - days 3 & 4

Sharing two days because they both ended up being single pages and they are sort of related.

Here is day three, we took Simone out to lunch after school and saw a matinee of this super cute new movie.  It was adorable! The background is printed on silver vellum paper which is lovely in person, I kept the photo small and added her ticket and a little post it I found at the dollar section of Target.  I love the mix of the silver and gold here a lot.



Day four was another movie but this time just for me.  I've never seen this movie on the big screen before and had to jump on it while it was showing.  I found the movie images online turned them all black and white and made a contact sheet digitally using a template.  I hand stitched the green around the edge and just added my ticket the gold four and a piece of chalkboard washi that tied in the black.


Here are the two days side by side


I added a little doily cut from a larger sheet of vellum in the middle of the two for a bit of separation.  I cut the white center sections on my cameo to add to the middle on each side.



So far so good, how is it going for you?
