Awesome giveaway!! :) You're sweet to share the love :)

Congrats Charin! Email me your address and I'll ship you your package asap!

So... what's new? The Ultimate 2008 Calendar Kit is new! Check it out:

This is the first sneak peak of the up and coming kit, set to go on sale September 8th! Just some of the kit is pictured above... HEY! I had to save some stuff for a surprise on the 8th :) Pre-orders are available, since these kits will be available in limited quantities. If you are interested in pre-ordering, please send me a email and let me know! I am also looking for a couple of designers to rock this kit! If you are interested, and can get it done within a week, please send me an email and either link or include 3 layouts and a blog if you have one (blog is NOT required!!). If you are choosen, I will be using the pictures of your kits on etsy and other various scrapbooking websites to promote the kit. My email is ellesstudio[at]verizon.net

And last, but not least!! Have you uploaded your layout to the gallery?? This is something new and fun that we decided to do! Upload any layout using any Elle's Studio product and once a month we will choose our favorite layout from that month - that person will win a prize pack full of fun goodies! Each month, we will choose on the last day of the month and post the winner here!!!! This gallery is ran through flickr, if you do not have a flickr account you should get one! Flickr is free and a great place full of inspiration and eye candy. I love it there!! (First winner will be picked at the end of September)

I just wanted to thank everyone for such wonderful support and all your posts!! I adore all your comments :)

20 years later...

I'm a terribly slow scrapbooker! I put things on, take them off, change the colors, mix and match, pull off again, put back on again, back and forth! I just get so nervous, I mean, what if you get it all done, stand back and realize you don't like it! YIKES!! I made this layout today, I'm still not sure if I'm in love with it... but I do love the colors, just not sure if it could of came together a bit better :) This layout is about my baby blanket, which I still have and use! (scary, I know...) Well, now my baby is always laying on it, every chance she gets! And it is just so cute, so I had to scrap it. I know, I should hand it down, I should give it to her... But not yet, I'm just not ready. For now, we will share it!!!

BTW: Elle's Studio is sponsoring the effer #3 over at scrapjacked! Layouts are due, over there, by Wednesday. Good luck everyone!!

ooo la la... so many updates!

First I have to start off with these awesome layouts done by the fabulous MaraMay! She has a great style and I loved the way she incorporated a little of "Elle's Studio" products into her layouts! Check out her blog and let her know "she rocks!"

If you have some layouts that use Elle's Studio products, I'd love to see them too! In the future, hopefully sometime soon, I'm planning on doing a "gallery." I'm currently trying to figure out what the best way to go about this would be, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!!

And... I got some scrapin' time in this weekend! My sister and her husband found this cute kitten and gave it a great home! She is sooo tiny! They named her Precious, sooooo sweet!

Check out my NEW calendar tags I Incorporated into the layout! These are new in my etsy shop and are a great way to mark a special day (in the layout above I marked the day they found the kitten) or you can even add them to a card to mark someones birthday, anniversary, etc. Super fun! They come in black and white....

And... COLOR!! I'm in love with these color ones, so bright and fun! I'm totally diggin' bright colors right now!

And last, but not least! I just (well.. last week sometime) signed up over at SIS! There is SO much talent over there that I was a little embarrassed to post my layout! I just love it over there and wish I could spend all day/night surfin' around. So, if you're over there, say "Hi" or add me to your favs so I can add you back! Can't wait!! EDIT: I should mention my member log in name over there is "elle"!

my new love...

My mom brought these home the other day from one of her shopping trips. These are my favorite shoes right now... and they may have started me off with a new collection because when I were them, they make me want MORE!!!!!

ZingBOOM kits for sale!

ZingBOOM kits are up and this month the "Juicy" kit includes my bird tags, printed in teal! Currently, this is the only place to find them in teal, so head on over there and check them out. The kit looks like super fun with tons of cool stuff in it.

Also, the add-on looks awesome!

Also, I wanted to say a HUGE "Thank You!!!" to everyone who has been stopping by and leaving comments! I love reading them and checking out your blogs too!

i feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

My name was drawn at the Hambly blog for their contest they were having! Today the package arrived and I was - still am - SO excited!! It was loaded with all these goodies and they are just BEAUTIFUL! OMGoodness I cannot wait to use these!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!
