A little more Elle's Studio to share and more happy news.

I am so excited to share with you that I've been invited to join the Epiphany Crafts Design Team for 2012!  I've been using their fun tools and embellishments for a while now and I completely love them.  I can hardly wait to get my hands on the new goodies from CHA.  Check out the website and the blog at Epiphany Crafts if you haven't gotten to know them yet and I'll be showing you some fun ways to use their goodies on your projects in upcoming posts.  This promises to be a fun year working with some more fabulous designers over there!

I know that some of you may have already visited the Elle's Studio gallery in the last week, but for those of you who haven't, I thought I'd share the other two layouts from my gallery over there today.

I've been working with the Daydream Believer kit from Studio Calico quite a bit lately.  I love how being a part of DT's is keeping me consistent with creating and using up my kits.  (I tend to need pressure to get things done, LOL)  I still don't know how I'll ever use all the kits I've amassed but I'm at least starting to move them a bit more quickly.

For those of you who actually read, I'm going to offer a little giveaway, and I'll know if you're reading too, LOL.  Since I have too much product sitting unused, I've collected a few items that I know you will LOVE.  I'll send them to one lucky winner.  Here's how to enter:  Leave a normal comment and at the end of your comment, include your favorite color.  Everyone who shares their favorite color will be entered in the drawing.  I'll draw tomorrow. And be sure and leave me a way to contact you.

I can certainly tell you that I've been buying a lot less product recently.  I am soooo glad about this because I truly was going to run out of room any minute in my studio if I didn't slow myself down quickly.  My LSS closed and I stopped shopping in that way and somehow even Two Peas hasn't been able to tempt me too much!  Yay me!

So here are my two additional layouts.



This first one uses a butterfly which I originally said that I hated, but it just worked on this page and I had to eat my words.  Now, to find a way to use the other two in the kit.



Please try not to judge our silly photos.  Yes, we are very VERY silly around here!





And this was another one I was really happy with.  I love those floral die-cuts from Kesi-art.  And there's another little button from my 'Moments' Collection.  I'm wrapping up the details on that so I think the end of March is looking good for opening my shop.





I played with my Bombay Inks on this alot.  Love how the white ink played with the blue.  And Sequins......be still my heart!  OH, and note another tied bow from my thread ends.



I did wish I had more of those vintage checks!  So cool!  I'll have you know it pained me a bit to use it up, you know, because it's the only one I will have.





Here's wishing you a lovely Monday.  We are happily anticipating visitors this Wednesday and my kids have AIMS testing starting tomorrow so it promises to be a super full week!
