I did my first two Hawaii pages using Love, Elsie products. All three of these are using the Love, Elsie Hobby Lobby lines called Lola and Riley. I can't wait to get started on a Hawaii mini album - so many ideas brewing and have you seen the new tiki/hawaii papers from Rusty Pickle? Darling!
I made this one by taking a 12x12 piece of paper, folding it in half and attaching the insides together, then cutting it into three strips (it is now double sided with the same pattern on both sides). I put one 2" strip behind the photos at the top to balance it. For the other two 2" strips, I cut 2/3rds the way up on each stripe and then twisted some up by wrapping the pieces around a thin paint brush. Others I just turned up slightly. I wanted to create the look of her skirt. I then layered these two strips along the bottom. For the title letters, I cut around the outside edge of the stickers (the part you throw away) and put a different color around the edge of each letter to frame them and make them more substantial.
I stamped the title letters on white cardstock and cut around them - this is a really fun stamp set (part of the Riley line).
This one I made a while back - not too crazy about it. But I do SO love candy! I am a twizzlers and sour chewy candy freak! This was a really fun candy store in Utah at Thanksgiving Point. All Lola line with some Roxie ribbon thrown in.
These are up on Elsie's blog today - she posted some from each of the DT members, so check them out! (her block is linked on the right side). Thanks for visiting! Suzy
