COME BACK/GUEST DESIGNER LAYOUT FOR ELLE'S STUDIO

Good morning!! Nicole here. I'm so excited to be guest designing for Elle's Studio this month! Before I begin, let me just say one thing... Happy Birthday Elle's Studio! 

For me, this month is about celebrating those special moments with you friends and family! I must admit...I don't see my family much these days with Covid, but we do sneak over there every once in awhile. In fact, we made a quick visit to my sister's in January so that we could spend a little time with Henry. He is getting big so fast and I am so sad because we haven't seen much of him this past year!

To begin, I placed two sheets of patterned paper onto white cardstock and then cut the excess patterned paper from the edges using scissors. This is such a simple way to create an interesting design in the background. Then, I placed a few Journaling cards across the middle of the layout. I love journaling cards because they make the best frames and mats for my photos. And of course...they are perfect for journaling.

I used the "good times together" wood veneer from the add-ons to create a sub-title within the matted photo. Then, I tucked a circle label beside the second matted photo and added some puffy stickers. They are soooo pretty! I added the heart die and star above the photo to fill in the white space and then used foam squares to pop up the "my favorite part of the day" die.

I was super excited to receive the alpha stamps and metal alpha dies!! YASSSSS....Super fun month, filled with lots of pretty embellishments is my jam. To complete the layout, I added the title at the bottom along with some journaling and 1/4" border around the layout. Then, I placed a few chipboard pieces at the bottom with a gem.

Thank you Elle and Meghan for having me this month! I can't wait to share my other project with you! Stay tuned.
