ella layout

Today I am so excited to be hosting over on the Ella Publishing blog! Are you a sketch user? Check out this post and how some of my Ella Friends and I utilized the same sketch and came up with totally different looks!



Because we homeschool, we have a ton of time to play games during the day. I call this our "recess" time. When we finish math and need a 20-minute break before we move onto writing, we'll play a game. The girls of course have their favorites and I wanted to document what those were at ages four and six. I'm sure the favorites will change with time!


I loved this sketch because it was simple and quick. The only thing that was time consuming on this layout was the stitching of the letters from Jillibean--but aren't they cute? Totally worth it to me!


All of the product used on this layout came from Green Tangerines Kit Club--the January kit. I love our kit club because you receive $50 worth of product for only $34.99--a great deal! Another great thing about this kit club--DOUBLE PAGE LAYOUTS--a bunch of them. Check out the gallery here. And see that cute little notecard in the picture? I have some left that I'd love to share. It's just a small giveaway, but wouldn't it be fun to get some fun mail? I have two sets of four (in four different colors) . . . leave me a comment and I will pick TWO WINNERS sometime Friday evening.


If you are looking for more great sketches, be sure and go here to check out Ella's eBook, Double Page Design--I pulled the sketch from here to make the layout above.

Happy Thursday!

p.s. I'll continue with my 2010 month-in-review soon!

Love the layout ... you are so talented when it comes to two-page layouts. I'm promising myself to start creating more two-page layouts again this year. I just purchased the new Ella ebook and can't wait to play with the two-page sketches.
