My first product published!

Whoa! This came in the mail yesterday and when looking through it I saw this layout on page 124! And, in the supply list, there’s my name! (Well… there’s a mistype and it says Ella’s Studio, LOL!) I was/still am so excited, this is my first product that got published!

The adorable layout is by Karen Helmka – I tried to track down her blog but couldn’t find it. If any of you guys know her address, I’d love to know! And the magazine is Scrapbook Trends.
What a great day, I feel so blessed!!

Valentine's Inspiration from Tina!

Cards:

I asked Tina to scrapbook some pages and cards with some of the Elle's Studios new products and I'm totally in love with her results! I love how she mixed and matched it all together - and all the little details everywhere (like the hand-stitching!!). The Valentine's Day cards are adorable! Can you imagine getting one of those for Valentine's Day? So much inspiration here - there's a little something for everyone! Make sure you look at each one carefully, you can even click on the photos to make them larger. Stop by her blog too, she just moved over to typepad and it looks great! Thanks Tina for doing such an awesome job! You've got great style!!

Valentine's Project!

Valentine's day is coming up quickly! So, I asked Amber Ulmer to make a little coupon booklet out of the True Love Coupons from the shop and check it out! This little mini booklet project looks like so much fun - and how great would it be to give one of these to your someone special? You could write whatever you wanted on the coupons and personalize them to the person they are for!

I LOVE how Amber used Hambly overlays, ribbon & lace. And, all those fun charms and details make it awesome! She also stuck in some "Sweetheart tags" from the shop too :) So cute and so much fun - Thank you Amber for such awesome Valentine's Day eye candy and inspiration! I'm ready to start on my Valentine's Day projects!

Shop Stock Update :)

Just a little note to let everyone know that my entire remaining Christmas/winter stock has been posted in the shop. Also, the remaining 2008 Calendar Kits will be listed soon, there's just a few left! Once these items are gone I am currently not planning on making more...

Thank you to everyone for such a great start to the new year! You guys are awesome!!
