It reminded me of making chocolate muffins with my daughter when my husband was out of town, and how she wanted to play Happy Birthday with it. So we did on a Wednesday night. And it was just a fun moment to cherish. I was inspired to use the single photo placement (with the grid paper background)with the main bulk of elements on the right side of the page, along with a cute banner at the top left. I adapted it to an 8.5x11 page and so I used spray mist for my circles (hard to see with the photo.) Also added the gold thread stapled in a "knot" for a little accent and to incorporate her theme a little. Added strips and a tab from the Penelope collection to finish it off. Love how it turned out!" </span>Annette</div></span><div style="font-style: inherit;"></div></span></span></span><br /><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></span></span></div><div style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">For a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the </span><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Shop</a><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> create a project inspired by today's sketch, upload it to our </span><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/member/" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Member Gallery</a><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> and post a link here.

For September's kit, I was inspired by the pinks and blues and and thought they would coordinate well with a Project Life layout I had in mind for my daughter's album. I wanted to use some of the Studio Calico Marks & Co Project Life kit + the Project Life Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic kit, as well as a few other things including that beautiful Lindsay Letters letterpress card and thickers from Studio Calico, a roller date stamp from Dear Lizzy and some washi tape. </span></i></span><br /><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i></i></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>To create the layout I picked colors that went well with my daughter's Ariel outfit and also had fun playing with a few of the Kal Barteski stamps from the Studio Calico kit as well as the new Elle's Studio Penelope line. I embossed the stamps with white Zing embossing powder to help the stamps stand out. I also added a little flip card to add more journaling under one of the filler cards and cut down the smaller tags to add fun accents on my calendar and journaling card.

This kit matches Elle's Studio Penelope collection beautifully so I started with that. I then added pieces of Basic Grey's RSVP collection and a few embellishments from the Studio Calico PL kit. </span></i><br /><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For my layout, I wanted to show all the different colors on the kit yet keep it simple so I rolled different patterned papers then layered the picture and tags on top. Finally, i created a little cluster of tags and other embellishments for balance and fun :) -Waleska</span></i><br /><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8DmqBTKXlrw/UhY2tGhfgBI/AAAAAAAACss/6FjxoCA4_Vs/s1600/waleska+sig+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8DmqBTKXlrw/UhY2tGhfgBI/AAAAAAAACss/6FjxoCA4_Vs/s1600/waleska+sig+(1).jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 4px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18314349470048338021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734437772139220215.post-3321063157859819952013-09-15T08:00:00.000-07:002013-09-26T22:35:11.372-07:00Project Spotlight - September 15th<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IDIx4BGTfPI/UjKBFtW6AoI/AAAAAAAAALo/YttZh7KgRXU/s1600/ProjectSpotlight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IDIx4BGTfPI/UjKBFtW6AoI/AAAAAAAAALo/YttZh7KgRXU/s1600/ProjectSpotlight.jpg" wdith="490/" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yz3k-TrEejw/UjKBK2MVxQI/AAAAAAAAALw/yxVMGNENMGw/s1600/2581_2013_13788913763532_big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yz3k-TrEejw/UjKBK2MVxQI/AAAAAAAAALw/yxVMGNENMGw/s1600/2581_2013_13788913763532_big.jpg" width="490/" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">Congrats to this week's Project Spotlight winner, <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/2013/true_happiness/" style="border: 0px; color: #ff0066; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Catb22</a></span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">!

Our frames are the perfect choice to highlight a smaller photo or a portion of a larger photo and that's exactly what our talented team did!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/images/2256/2256_1843_13756362702586_big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/images/2256/2256_1843_13756362702586_big.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/user/2256" target="_blank">Laurel</a> used a piece from our <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/Saltwater-Frames.html" target="_blank">Saltwater Frames</a> to highlight one of two similar photos on her <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/1843/heart_you/" target="_blank">"Heart You"</a> layout. The colorful frame draws your eye directly to her photo. A perfect choice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/images/3942/3942_1860_13757528455230_big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/images/3942/3942_1860_13757528455230_big.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/user/3942" target="_blank">Corrie</a> also used a <a href="http://saltwater%20frame/" target="_blank">Saltwater Frame</a> to highlight a single photo on this layout. Corrie's photo had a large amount of white space so the frame easily draws your attention to her daughter and her daughter's best friend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/images/3929/3929_1855_13757073011692_big.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/gallery/images/3929/3929_1855_13757073011692_big.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Today's last layout highlight uses a frame from our <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/Elle-s-Studio-August-2013-Kit.html" target="_blank">limited edition August kit</a>. <a href="http://www.shopellesstudio.com/user/3929" target="_blank">Janna</a> framed a smaller photo of memorabilia in the center of her layout. Again, the colored frame on a neutral background instantly allows you to recognize what's most important on this page.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We hope these highlights from our talented design team inspires you to put your Elle's Studio frames to use!
