I made 3 projects for this hop!  So hopefully you'll stick with me.  Elle's Studio is a new company to me and I already love their products!  I didn't know what I wanted to make since I haven't scrapbooked in a while and I felt all rusty but it was so easy to put these projects together because everything is so well coordinated.

I made this mini scrapbook first and bound it with my Cinch.  I love it!  I used all the 4x6 journaling tags and tabs from the Serendipity line.  I added some 4x6 cardstock as well for extra pages.  I just so happen to have some 4x6 chipboard lying around for the covers and so everything came together easily.  I wrapped the edges of my covers with washi tape before decorating them.  And I even used the cute packaging from the products (in pink above) as a mat.

I'll share a couple of pages.  I also had some Instagram style photos lying around so I trimmed them to look more like Polaroids and then matted them with my Perfect Layers rulers.  I stamped that fun sentiment which is also from Elle's Studio.  I like the quality of their clear stamps!  And everything is so nice and matching! 

Here is another page.  I haven't added any personal journaling yet.  I thought I could throw it into my purse and add my journaling while I'm waiting for the kids at school.

So after I made the first book, I thought I'd make a second one with the products from the You & Me line.  I used one of the tags for the cover and matted that with the Perfect Layers rulers.  This was so fast and simple too since I used the journaling tags and tabs as my pages.  All I have to do is add my photos.

Here is the inside of how I bound the smaller tags/tabs into the books.  I love how these little books came out and I can't wait to make more for every occasion like birthdays and Halloween and Christmas.  I'm so excited!

And because I like to make cards, I made a card.  Elle's Studio had the cutest papers, tags and sentiments.  I just used one of the 4x6 journaling tags as the front of my card.

I added this cute stamp from The Greeting Farm that I matted with my rulers.  The sentiment below the stamped image I cut out from that little perforated strip of the 12x12 paper.

Okay, I don't want to keep you here any longer so you can continue on with the hop.  Next up is Keri Babbitt.

Thank you for stopping by!
