Way too long...

Hello ladies.  A little behind in the bloggy world.  I dislike that this keeps happening.  But it seems as if I get busier the older my kids get!!!  Do you find that?  Times when you so busy that  blogging/social media is put on the back burner?  


It really makes me sad to be so busy.  I have missed seeing all of you.  Last weekend I attended an all day crop on Saturday.  I was busy the week before packing up products from tMN to sell.  That was a lot of work.  The beginning of this week was getting everything back in order.  And now it is on to prepping for Halloween!  Hope you are all well.  I will be visiting again soon and catching up [once again] on all your wonderful projects I have missed!!

Sharing a few more projects based on Katie's sketch.  There is still time to play along and link up (5 more days and two sketches)!

Happy crafting,

I'm Back!

For those of you who saw my post on Friday, you know that I was going to be away from the blog for a few days!  Well, I was visiting Austin, Texas with my hubby!  We had a great time together.  He had a business trip that I decided to tag along with.  We left a couple of days early to have some time together.  One of the highlights of the trip is I got to have lunch with bloggy friend and design team member, Angie Vallejo!!  It is so exciting to have the opportunity to meet someone you have worked with and known in the blogosphere for a while.

So I LOVE the Studio app!  Especially when I am traveling.  SO fun to add the extras to the pictures.  You will see that lots of my pics were embellished in Studio, hence the reason I am boring you with so many pictures.  Plus, you will surely see other pics in layouts that I post!!

  Saturday was our sightseeing day around Austin!!  Cloudy and a little rainy but fun...

Hope you are well!  As promised, I will be stopping 

by your blogs and catching up very soon!

Happy Travels,

P.S. thanks for letting me share!

Make it Monday No. 27

Happy Monday!  Yes, we did just reveal a sketch last Monday, but I wanted to try something different this month.  I decided to do the Make it Monday challenges back to back the first two weeks of October. It gives you more time to play along especially with Halloween at the end of the month!! 

Today we have a sketch by Katie Lamb.  Her twist is to use stitching!!  Check out all of the amazing

inspiration by our wonderful design team.

Happy Creating,

Love Creating with Elle's Studio!

Hello and Happy Friday!!  Sharing some of my newest creations.  I am thrilled with the way the first one came out.  I was trying to play off the colors in my mom's shirt and these papers really did the job!!  The second layout took a little longer, but I love trying new things are creating different layouts.  Scrapbooking is such an art.

Happy Weekend,

Falling For You!

Hello!  Playing along with Stuck?!  I created the first layout and then realized I forgot to use 

the colors from Color Me Scrappy - it was a joint challenge.  I figured that I had plenty of pictures

to scrap so I created another layout!!

 Created the circles with watercolor pencils.  

   

Happy Crafting,

P.S. The second layout was created with Fancy Pants Happy Go Lucky

available at The Memory Nest!
