Sketch Thursday : 7.28.11

This week marks the first time the work of our new design team is featured on the ES blog – I’m thrilled to be able to share more from them!  This layout, from design team member Marcy Penner, first caught my eye because of it’s subject matter.  I just started running and while I don’t…

Take Out Tuesday : 7.26.11

Oh how I love the new ES products that arrived on my doorstep last week!  It was easy to use four different ES products on this layout. For today’s Take Out Tuesday, I used three vertical 4×6 photos.  I still had room for journaling, a title and embellishments and was able to complete this layout…

Faux Instax + Mpix Discount

There are many things I love about the Instax Camera, but my favorite has to be the small sized, white-frame pictures it produces. They just seem perfect for layouts and mini-albums (like our sold-out Savoring Summer mini album!) Today I am going to share a few secrets on how to many your own “faux instax”…

Sketch Thursday : 7.14.11

Can I tell you how much I love Sketch Thursday?  Each week I get to create a layout for my personal albums inspired by one of our design team members.  That means that it’s guaranteed I’ll create at least one layout a week.  (That was my goal for 2011.)  It also means that my layout comes together quickly…
