Enjoying Everyday Moments with Brandi!!!

Saturday, March 8, 2014

Well hello everyone!!!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far!!!  Looks like it's going to be warm and sunny here in Florida :-)

I'm here today with a couple of projects I've made using the new Elle's Studio "Everyday Moments" Collection!!!  I knew as soon as I saw this one that I just had to have it!!  The colors are truly amazing and are really perfect for "Everyday" type photos :-)

"You Are My Sunshine"
First, I completed a layout using a sketch by Brenshevia with Let's Get Sketchy.  


Aren't these papers just adorable?!?  And they are absolutely PERFECT for scrapping my girls, but the collection comes with plenty of blues and greens for "boy" pages as well!!!
I started by using the Heidi Swapp "Hexagon" stencil and various distress inks for my background.  Then, I just layered my papers to follow the sketch, outlining each one with a black sharpie marker.  I also added a thick black line around the photos to simulate a black photo mat!


I used the coordinating Kraft Sticker Letters and Pink Paislee Colorwash letters to create the title "You Are My Sunshine"...


I LOVE adding rosettes to my pages... Especially ones with pictures of my babies!  I cut up thin strips of the 12x12 paper and scored it at every quarter inch.  Then, I just adhered the edges together and push down!  I added one of the resin flowers to the center from the American Crafts Flea Market set in the store to finish my page!




"Time With You"
I also completed a card using this collection using another sketch by Brenshevia.  Here is the card:


I used Kraft Core cardstock by Coordinations as my base (one of my FAV papers for backgrounds!) and started layering on paper!   I kept everything pretty simple as I have a tendency to over-embellish :-)
I used the coordinating wood veneers by Elle's Studio and used the Tim Holtz paint dauber from last month's kit to add some color.  


I also used the white gel pen from last month's kit to create faux stitching around the grey star paper.  I finished the card with some red-stitched ribbon and a tiny bow!!!





"Sisters"
Last, but certainly not least, is a layout I created a few backs back.  I posted it to our Facebook page here, but decided to share it here in case you haven't stopped by!  
For this one, I used the "Stuck?!" Sketch from last month.  Here's a look:


I really like how this one came out!!!  I used various products from the store to add to the detail of this page!

I started by adding some black Dylusions Mist to my background, by pulling out the spritzer and lightly tapping it in the direction I wanted my splatters.  


I added strips of paper from the collection, various pieces that I fussy cut from the papers, and added a small tag I made and some washi tape behind my photo.  I outlined some things (like my photos and background paper) with a black sharpie, and added ink to the edges of the rest of the papers.  


I added some homemade bling to my page using a template, liquid pearls, and acetate.  


I used my Lindy's Stamp gang mists to add some color to the coordinating Elle's Studio wood veneers and added them to the page!


I finished this page with another handmade rosette, again topped with the Flea Market resin flowers by American Crafts.  



Well gang...  Thanks sooooo much for stopping in today!!!  I hope I've inspired you to create something fabulous with this collection!!!  Have a LUCKY day :-)
