Elle's Studio Inspiration Gallery II

Another page to share today from the new Elle's Studio Inspiration Gallery:

I mixed in some Studio Calico Memoir papers with the current kit to make this project.

Something I'm loving right now - pieced and stitched borders. Forgive me while I abuse this 'new to me' technique in the weeks to come:

...adding these staples I was thinking how great it would be if the Tiny Attacher had a longer reach. I love that little stapler!
Did you know that the Elle's Studio Blog hosts a sketch challenge each week? With an Elle's Studio prize for the winner? You can check it out right here.

Two things I'm loving right now, besides the aforementioned Tiny Attacher and borders...project kits and Elle's tags. Now that I'm back in school & my crafty time is extremely limited, I've started to rely heavily on my Studio Calico subscription. To think I was about to resign in the Fall! I'm so glad I didn't because I had no idea how pressed for time I was really going to be. Those kits bring already 'mixed and matched' fresh product into my house each month - saving me hours of driving time back & forth to my LSS or shopping online. (Not that I will ever give up those 2 things - I've just had to put them on pause for now...) And so far, I haven't met a kit that didn't play really nice with Elle's Studio tags. Thank goodness for both of these companies for making it possible to still enjoy this hobby while juggling the rest of my life. 

Have a great Saturday everyone - who's watching the Daytona 500 with me tomorrow?

very, very sweet! and, you're right about the tiny attacher and SC. The attatcher would be EVEN BETTER with a longer reach and SC is just great -- I know I couldn't pick such a great selection on my own!
