Elle's Studio Challenge and some exciting news

 

It's no secret that I love Elle's Studio sketches, so I was pretty excited when they annonced they were adding a new bi-monthly challenge. 
 
The current challenge is to use a tabbed tag as a frame on your layout.  Here's my take:
 
 
My nephew Collin is a HUGE fan of Ellie.  He's only six months younger than Carina, but they are not really interested in one another.  Ellie on the other hand is fascinating, and they were best buds over Christmas.  Here the two of them are reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear together. 
 
The tabbed tag and the base paper and red polka dot papers are from the Day to Day collection, and there are a couple older Elle's tags too.  I used some Bella Blvd and older CTMH papers as accents, and added a bunch of stitching. 
 
AND, here is my exciting news:
 

I'm joining the Artful Delight design team!  I'll be part of the card team, but for all my scrapbooking friends Artful Delight has both a scrapbook and card kit each month.

My term starts in May, and I'll be posting projects on Fridays.  Here's the official announcement.  I am pretty darn excited!  :)

Paper/Cardstock:  Elle's Studio - Day To Day Collection Papers; Bella Blvd - Birthday Boy; CTMH - Dotty for You
Other:  Elle's Studio - Day to Day tabbed tags; Pieces of Life Tags; The Twinery - Charcoal Twine; American Crafts - Black Prancer Thickers; Sewing Machine; Tombow - Mono Adhesive; Therm-o-web - Zots adhesive; Pigma - Black Micron Pen
