Hey there friends! It's already the 10th which means the new kits at Elle's Studio debut today! I thought I'd share my projects for the month and update you on some cool new things happening over at ES. I'm currently hunched over my old iMac (reclaimed by Hayden several years ago), trying to navigate around his schoolwork, Steam games and various YouTube projects all while constantly adjusting the monitor to deflect the glare from the kitchen windows and cursing the fact that none of my fonts are loaded on this machine. I'm also realizing that iMacs from 2008 are definitely slower than they are now. Or maybe I'm just more impatient. At any rate, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that The Mac Shack gets my machine up and running in the next week or so because I'm kind of over this whole sharing thing.
But back to the topic at hand - new projects! And here they are!
S U P P L I E S :
I loved the pet-themed tags included in this month's kit and opted to do a Shinerbock-centered page with them. (And pssst...this month's kit just so happens to pair beautifully with a new ES paper collection, Thankful).
I layered my photos, lots of tags, and snippets of the papers on top of circle frames that I filled with vellum to help separate them from the patterned paper background. I love mixing curves with straight lines - it helps give the page motion and energy and softens all the right angles!
And since I had my circle cutter warmed up, I used it to create a super simple card. I removed the center of 4x6 journaling card and layered it over the 3x4 "AHmazing" tag:
Another amazing thing happening over at Elle's is the newest mini-course, with contributors Besha Kueser, Amy Tsuruta and Erin Stewart. Check it out and get ready to be inspired!
Hope all is happy in your world! I'll be back tomorrow with a new Five on Friday!
