Hello friends!
Fall is just around the corner and it is my absolute
favorite time of year. There is something about the season that makes my heart
happy . . . perhaps it’s the cool, crisp air or the changing leaves . . . or
the fact that pumpkin spice lattes are back!!! My daughter has informed me that
I’m “basic” because I love them so much, but it doesn’t bother me in the least.
In fact, today’s layout is dedicated solely to my love of PSL’s.
The September kit and add-ons have so many wonderful
elements and the digital content this month is amazing. As soon as I saw the
Flowers and Leaves cut file, I knew they would make an appearance on a project.
With this layout I enlarged the flowers
and leaves and cut several on my Silhouette using the Home Sweet Home 6 x 6
paper stack. To keep the color scheme simple, I used three colors of patterned
paper and printed my photo in black and white so it didn’t clash.
The idea of keeping each color clustered together came to me
after I began playing with the placement of the flowers on my layout. I love
the look and decided to create the title in the same manner using the Large
Jane Alphabet metal dies and Large Jane Alphabet – Outline stamp.
Because the alphas were all outlined, I went back and used
my Elle’s Studio Sharpie to doodle a border around each flower and leaf to keep
everything cohesive.
The title was a true labor of love and did take quite a bit
of time to complete. After the alphas were stamped and cut, I began laying them
out along the bottom of the page. Clearly, the letters do not stretch across
the layout, but I really wanted the words to line up underneath their corresponding
colors. In order to do this, I pulled out half a dozen different stamp sets and
began adding sentiments between the first two words. I totally love how it
turned out and it even matches the bold black of the writing on my coffee cup.
To give the layout a bit more texture and color, I added
several of the Happy Moments puffy stickers among the flowers and underneath
the title.
Today’s project has been so fun to create and I am still
inspired to dig into the September kit and add-ons to see what else I can make.
I hope you are enjoying Elle’s amazing products this month as much as I!
