Elle's Love Story

Happy Saturday...couldn't get here soon enough. It was a crazy week - and today we've got a lot on the plate, but at least tomorrow is free and clear. Planning some serious crafty time and a very long overdue visit to the Scrappers Cove. It snowed just enough last weekend to prevent me from getting up there. Most of the staff is at CHA this weekend shopping for new product. I guess I'll go in and help clear out some of the 'old'. (Funny how fast stuff gets 'old' in this hobby!) Anyway - can't wait until the CHA snapshots start flowing onto the blogs and Facebook pages of my crafty pals. And also getting excited that CHA summer will be here before you know it and I'll be heading to Chicago again.

Today I get to share one of the layouts I made with the Elle's Studio 'A Love Story' kit. By far one of my most favorite kits ever! So here's my page...If you've seen the kit (photo below) it's got lots of red, pink & turquoise, but it's also got a few masculine colors as well. That worked out great in this case with this photo I had of my son & father-in-law:

The ink I used to stamp the doily is a Stampin' Up grey. I'm loving all the grey showing up in the paper lines and used the pops of red to keep it from getting dull.

Images removed for publication - be back soon!

 Aren't these little sewn flowers gorgeous? I used every single one and I'm feeling like I need a dozen more!! The Elle's tags have faux stitching - I added a little more:

 Here's another view of the flower and the journaling:

And here's the kit if you haven't seen it yet. 

This is a limited edition and will be gone when it's gone. Seriously versatile and seriously fun. Love this kit to pieces. (no pun intended!) For more inspiration, stop by the blog and check out more pages made from this kit - you can tell that everyone on the Elle's design team loved working with it!

Thanks for stopping by today!
