Elle's Studio Blog Hop!

bloghop.jpg

This month, Elle's Studio is celebrating their 5th birthday and to celebrate, they are giving away a free pen with every order in the month of March! Today is also a special day because the design team is celebrating with a blog hop in which you can win a $20 gift certificate at each stop along the hop!

So, since this is a blog hop, I guess you want to see some inspiration, right? Here's my favorite layout from my March inspiration gallery.

Meghann Andrew_Beach Style_blog.jpg

For this layout, I used the new Elle's Studio Noted Journaling Circle Tags, 'Lil Snippets Date Tags, and One and Only Tidbits along with Studio Calico's February kit, Storyteller with the Illustrated add-on, which includes a lot of the new Crate Paper line, Storyteller.

My husband is a pretty straight-laced guy, and when I look at this photo of him on the beach in Mexico last fall, I realized how casual he looked in his beach attire. I wanted to create a layout about how much I loved that!

And just for the blog hop, I created a new layout using more of the new tag releases!

Dolphin Experience blog.jpg

This layout uses the new Elle's Studio Make a List Tags (notice that I didn't really make a list!), the new Bright and Vintage Pennants, the new Noted Journaling Circle Tags, Red Pennants, and 'Lil Snippets Labeled: Yellow & Orange, along with Studio Calico's February kit, Storyteller with the Illustrated add-on.  Can you tell that I love this kit?

This layout is again from an event that happened during our vacation in Mexico, when my husband did a swimming with dolphins experience. It was pretty awesome, and it made him so happy! I also love the primary color scheme that I have going on here.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my layouts! If you want some additional inspiration from the design team, check out the Inspiration Gallery and be sure to stop by the rest of the stops along the hop! Oh, and don't forget to leave a comment here and at the other stops to enter to win a $20 gift certificate to the Elle's Studio shop! Winners will be drawn on March 26th!
