Happy Tuesday, friends!
Popping in to share this week’s Project Life pages with you! Today I skipped ahead one week because I wanted to share how I used the July Elle’s Studio monthly kit on my pages. I’ll go back and share the previous weeks’ pages with you all next week. ;)
Ok, so let’s get started! ;) Here’s the double-page spread. Once again I’m using DESIGN A page protectors (my go-to page protectors) and I’m using cards from the July kit.
Here’s a shot of the left side.
This little vellum like embellishment piece with “THE BEST” on it was perfect to staple alongside this 4×6 photo. I used a digital template by my friend Tracy Larsen to create the photo collage in a snap.
This silly photo collage was made on my Mac with iPhoto. It was TOO funny not to print out and include. The “good times” die cut is a piece in the July kit as well. This photo shoot was definitely a good time! ;)
This little red banner is also a piece in the kit. I just stapled it simply onto the photo and put a little message on it.
I love including little pieces of artwork or writing from my kids and Jack took a blank 3×4 Project Life card from Becky Higgins and drew one of his famous monsters on it. He wanted me to slip it into this week’s spread so I was happy to oblige him. I just love it! Oh, and yep – Luke is climbing things now. Lord, help me.
The round “hello JULY” is a die cut from the piece and once again a simple staple with my beloved tiny attacher and it gives the photo a little something extra. The “Summer is my favorite” is a digital brush from Liz Tamanaha. LOVE adding those onto my photos now. I’m a bit obsessed. ;)
This beautiful watercolor 3×4 card is also in the kit. I wanted to try something a bit different so I took a piece of polka dotted vellum that I had and cut it to size to cover the card.
Here’s a better picture so you can see them overlapping.
Then I just placed it on top of the card and placed it in the pocket. I loved how it gave the card a subtle, sweet look. It’s a great way to add just a bit give a photo or card a different look!
Here’s the right side of the two-page spread.
The 4×6 card at the bottom is in the July kit as well and I just stamped the date on it, also adhered the round “week end” die cut (also from the kit) onto it and then wrote my journaling. I drew an arrow on the card just to point to the two photos above, which is what my journaling is about. ;)
The “love this” acrylic piece was a free gift that you got if you were one of the first 150 kit purchasers. I just love it. I adhered it to the photo of my husband in his new truck and then also added the “hip hip hooray” banner to the photo as well! I’m super excited to have a truck in the family again. ;)
This 4×6 card is in the kit as well. I adhered a 2×2 photo to it, along with the “around here” die cut that’s from the kit, too. A date and some journaling and voila! Done! ;)
Lastly, I love the Fourth of July elements in the kit and so I knew I just had to use the fireworks 3×4 card that I loved and I also used the “summers are for:” 3×4 card by adhering a 2×2 photo to it and then dating it, adding some acrylic stars (that you can get at Elle’s Studio, too HERE) and then a bit of journaling. Super simple and fast!
Well, those are my page shares for today! I hope you are having a great day! If you want to learn more about how to get the July monthly kit from Elle’s Studio – you can go HERE. Looks like they’re not sold out yet, but I bet they will be soon! Once they’re gone – they’re gone!
Have a great rest of the day, friends!!
