Love You In Blue with Jackie Ashton

Hello, Elle’s Studio friends! It’s Jackie here with my first blog post as an Elle’s Studio design team member! I’m beyond excited to be part of this team and I’m looking forward to sharing my projects with you during 2021.

When I received my supplies for this month assignments, I was immediately drawn to the Love You Wood Veneer and knew that I wanted to use it as a title for one of my layouts.

Supplies | January 2021 Kit, True Love Stickers, Chipboard Label Stickers, Puffy Heart Stickers, All My Heart Wood Veneers, Love You Wood Veneer, XOXO 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper StackHugs and Kisses StampGrateful Stamp, Daily Tabs Stamp, Everyday Tab Stamp 

After choosing my photograph, I decided to use blue tones which suited the photograph perfectly. I then went through the journaling tags in the January 2021 Kit, choosing two of the blue ones, and added three of the patterned papers from the XOXO Paper Stack

Using the blue polka dot paper from the XOXO Paper Stack, I punched a border on the bottom edge to add some extra detail. I also layered the lovely teal ‘XOXO’ paper across the middle and made a large pennant with the white heart paper.

I knew I wanted my photograph to be in the centre of my layout with the two journaling tags to either side. So after layering my photograph with patterned paper, I added my photograph to my layout. Next, I was ready to add some extra details to my journaling tags before I added these to my layout.

On the blue heart tag from the January Kit I added a stamped phase from the Hugs and Kisses Stamp, and placed that to the left of my photograph, overlaying it with the Love You Wood Veneer

On the ledger pocket tag, I added my journaling along with the “love this smile” stamped phase from the Grateful Stamp at the top of the tag. At the base, I stamped “xo” from the Hugs and Kisses Stamp to the bottom before adding a wood veneer piece from the All My Heart Wood Veneers.

I also added small cluster at the bottom of the page, using labels from the January 2021 Kit, and stamped the date using Daily Tabs Stamp. To bring the green down to this cluster, I added one of the blank Chipboard Label Stickers on which I stamped a phrase from the Everyday Tab Stamp.

Once all these were adhered to my layout, I was ready to add the finishing touches to bring the whole layout together. Using tabs and labels from the January Kit, Chipboard Label Stickers, True Love Stickers, All My Heart Wood Veneers, and the wonderful Puffy Heart Stickers.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope my layout has inspired you to create your own page by choosing one colour as you main focal point, working from there to add some fun details using the January 2021 kit and extras!
