18th Anniversary!

Hi Everyone! Today is our 18th marriage anniversary! I can't believe where and how time flies. So it is very fitting that I am up on the Elle's Studio blog with a project celebrating this. The January kit is simply awesome to document this!

For this project, I loved using a whole bunch of digital files - the cut files and the printables. Do check them out.

Here is a peek of the project. Do stop by Elle's Studio for more details on the project.


Below are links to the products used in this project:

Elle's Studio January Kit Projects

I am still not over the fact that Elle asked me to be on the Design team for Elle's Studio. So January Kit went live today. I am working mainly with this kit and extras for these projects. I love how versatile this kit is. It prompted me to create two very different themed projects. 

For the first project, I decided to list my top ten goals for the year 2017. It is very simple layout that conveys the message. I used a large photo of me in the background and stamped the word goals directly on the photo. For not being the best stamper, that is pretty brave for me. I am in love with the Jonah Stamp. I know I am going to be stamping way more and improving this skill this year. I love all the stamps that the Elle's Studio carries. Stay tuned for more projects with stamping. The card on which I wrote my goals is from the January kit and the background striped paper is from the Little Moments collection. Also make sure you get your pack of sequins. The colors coordinate with the kit so well. 




For the second layout, I decided to go way back in time. I am not sure why, but the card that says "You are so very loved" totally reminded me of this photo of my boy when he was about 7 months old. I just absolutely had to use this photo. Over time, I have learnt to ignore that pinks are for girls only. I don't care - I will use pink for boys and blue for girls. I have two boys and these days I seem to be using pinks on their layouts without hesitation :). On this layout I mainly used the cards from the January kit. The wood veneer and the stickers are from the January extras and they all coordinate so well.





Hope you enjoyed both my layouts and will get yourself some of these awesome products. Just remember that Elle's Studio has a subscription option available to those who want to be guaranteed a kit each month, lock in the launch day special price of $9.99, and receive FREE (USA) or reduced (International) shipping on anything added to your box each month on the 10th. Isn't that an awesome deal!?! Below are links and images of the products I used for these layouts!

Design Team Member for Elle's Studio

A very happy new year to you all. I am so happy that the new year is starting off with some great news in my scrapbooking journey. I am so proud to announce today that I will be on the Elle's Studio design team for 2017. I have been a huge fan of Elle's Studio products for a long time, the stamps, the  kits and the collections. I am so looking forward to working with all the lovely products. They work so well with my style of scrapbooking and memory keeping.

I have admired the work of so many of my fellow design team members for so many years. I am pinching myself to believe that I will be really designing alongside them.  I am so grateful for this opportunity.
