Elle's Studio Sketch

Elle's Studio started posting their sketch again!! I have to say their sketches are by far one of my favorite!! The designs are so easy to work with and are my style.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my take. I used some paper had left over from the January "Sew Charming" kit from The Paper Bakery. And of course many Elle's tags!

I used one from the Lil' Snippets for my journaling. Love those cute lil' things!

This banner is from the Birthday pendants but I thought it was perfect for this.


Thanks so much for stopping by!

Take Twelve Layout

Good Morning!! Today I wanted to share with you my Take Twelve layout. When I started taking my pictures in the morning, and realized I had so many taking just of the kids getting ready for school, is when I decided to document a before and after school day. The kids actually enjoyed (for once) me taking their pictures all morning.

Here is my layout: I went with my own "sketch".


I did use the journaling card on page 63 of the Take Twelve Inspiration Kit.



I love how that stripe of paper says "bus stop" and it just happen I was putting in by the bus picture.


As you can see I used some Cosmo Cricket Upcycle". I love using up paper!!


Thank you so much stopping by and remember if you did a Take Twelve layout to link it HERE for a chance to win!!
