8 Is Enough - with my Ella Friends

I was so excited (and terrified) to be included in Jenni's "8 Is Enough" challenge at Ella Publishing. The challenge: stretch only 8 products to make as many pages as possible.

I'm so bad at working with limits when it comes to this hobby. But I have to say, this was one of the most liberating experiences ever. I could have made 5 more layouts with this set of 8 products:

I made 3 pages for this challenge (and will continue to make even more - as they are giving my Disney album an awesome sense of continuity - a huge side bonus to supply stretching!) Here's are some detail shots of the 2 layouts that are on the Ella blog.

and here's layout number 3: 

My simple stretching tactics:  select patterns with similar color intensity, use only small amounts of said patterns, cut the paper embellishments apart, use letter stamps, and use the waste where you can. (for instance - the waste from the punched circles on the Dumbo page re-appears on the page above in between the 2 photos - can you see it?)

To read the whole article, see the rest of my layouts and list of supplies, stop by the Ella Publishing blog. Jenni, Keshet & Diana all did an amazing job with this challenge. There's also a chance to win a copy of "8 Is Enough"- so check it out!
