CelebrateDecember2014

Welcome to Celebrate December at Elle’s Studio! The month of December will be packed with holiday inspiration, projects, layouts, and gift ideas from many talented designers. So make sure to visit Elle’s Studio everyday for prizes, giveaways, and inspiration!

For sketch Thursday we have two talented designers sharing layouts with us, Christine Newman and Melissa Mann.

Take a look at our sketch for today:

Christine shares, “Triangles are one of my favorite shapes right now. I decided to use one of my favorite papers from Good Cheer, “Holiday Quilt”, because the patterns naturally form triangles. This page documents another one of our favorite Christmas traditions, affectionately called “Christmas On the Beach”. Ever since we moved to San Diego 15 years ago, we have spent all but one Christmas at the beach.

I sewed the top triangle onto the page and used the pine sprig from the Merry & Bright Exclusive Stamp set to create a top and bottom border for the page. I also stamped a few snowflakes from Warmest Wishes Exclusive Stamp set and glued some sequins to the middle of the snowflakes. I love how they look on the page.

I used a square photo that fit into the polaroid frame from Good Cheer Bits & Pieces. Then I propped up the photo on foam adhesive so it stands out on the page.

I love how this page came together, and the magical feel of the Good Cheer collection!”ES_ChristineNewman_GoodCheer (4)

Next we have a beautiful layout by Melissa Mann to share using the same sketch.

CelebrateDecember_MelissaMann1I love that even using the same sketch, and the same product, she came up with a totally different look.  Her bright colors and touch of gold is just stunning!
