Sketching for Elle's Studio {Sketch Included}

Good morning and Happy First Monday of Summer! We had such a great relaxing weekend. I hope that you were able to enjoy your weekend as well. Last week on the Elle's Studio blog I played along with Sketch Thursday. I got to play along with this sketch:

This sketch is based on a layout by Patricia Roebuck using Elle's Studio's new Shine collection. I LOVE how she used the circles and the die cuts.

I created 2 layouts based on this sketch, it was so much fun and so easy to create with.

 Who doesn't smile at a sleepy kiddo who has a case of "bed head"? I love this little lady!

 I die cut this background with my silhouette.

 And here's the second one I created with the Shine collection too.

 Do you like creating with sketches? Even if you don't you should give this one a try, it's so simple. Maybe you'll discover that you love changing things up and creating in a different way.
Make sure you stop by tomorrow for Let's Talk Tuesday!

Elle's Studio June Gallery Reveal

Hey there! Happy Wednesday! Yesterday Elle's Studio's June designer gallery went live! For all of my projects this month I used the Shine collection. This is my very favorite of all the collections that Elle has released. That's kind of a big deal because I love the Cameron and Penelope collections a lot too. (Here are some of my more recent Elle's projects: Little Critter Love, My Day to Day mini Album, Snap Conference Mini Album, 100% Boy)
I'm so excited for you to see what I created but I'm even more excited for you to dive in and get creating with this line. Paper Issues has the Shine collection in stock. You can find it HERE. When you check out make sure to use the code: becki20 to get 20% off your entire order.
Here's what I created with the Shine collection:

 

I love the transparency I layered over this photo. Transparent overlays are new to Elle's collections. These are adorable! I have so many fun things coming up using these transparencies.

 

 I tried something a little different with this layout. I used a large portion of the grid patterned paper and embellished it with my photos, journaling and embellishments.

Here's the layout I designed with Elle's exclusive June kit. It's a must have kit for anyone scrapbooking summer photos.

 

It goes perfectly with the Shine collection

Have a great Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
