Elle's Studio Guest Designer {Process Video Included}

(This post contains affiliate links. For more details check my disclosure page) 

Recently I got one of those happy news emails. The one with fun scrapbooking opportunities inside. The opportunity was guest designing for Elle's Studio. I designed for Elle's Studio on a regular basis a couple of years ago. I love her products and have missed creating with them. I was thrilled with the chance to dive back into her products again.

I created two layouts. One featuring the March kit, both featuring the new Little Moments collection. When I created the layout with the March kit, I filmed a process video too. This layout came together so quickly with journaling cards and a grid design.

 Here's the completed layout:

 

The second layout I created with the Little Moments collection and my Silhouette Cameo. I used my Cameo to create a custom title. I used two fonts (a script font and a block font). After I cut the title from patterned paper I outlined the die cuts with a precision pen. 

You can find many many more adorable project using Elle's Studio products over on her blog. Thanks for stopping by today. If you haven't had a chance to subscribe to my YouTube channel, you can do so HERE. I appreciate you subscribing!

Guest Designing for American Crafts

Hey there! I've got a LOT of projects to share with you today!

I was asked a few weeks ago to be a guest designer on the American Crafts blog (before I knew I was on the Design Team). Of course, my reply of "YES" couldn't get sent fast enough! Patterned paper is the focus for these projects, which, I couldn't have been happier with. I get giddy over patterned paper, the smell of a new pile of patterned paper is so yummy!
I created 3 layouts, 1 card, and 1 mini album with the American Crafts goodies.

Get ready for some photos.....

Here's the first layout. For this layout I just used a whole bunch of strips of patterned paper adhered to two-thirds of the page on the diagonal.

This next layout demonstrates that even though you are using patterned paper as a background you don't have to skimp on embellishments. Just pick a more neutral/tone on tone pattern...then embellish away :)

On this layout I added some hand stitching to the background and lots of hand cut hearts. (side note *I love being a mommy and having my little ones crawl into my bed first thing in the morning. It's the BEST way to start my day)

 The card that I made is SUPER simple and I just used the scraps I had from these projects. I love how it turned out.

For my final project I made a mini album with a fabric base. I wish that you could see this album in real life. It turned out so cute and it was so easy and very inexpensive!

Thanks so much for stopping by and thank you American Crafts for having me as a Guest Designer! Have a fantastic day :)
