Hugs and Kisses Week: Documenting the Ones We Love with Sarah Lee

We are so excited to kick off a week of love-filled inspiration here on our blog for Hugs and Kisses Week! For the next 5 days, we’ll be treating you (minus the calories!) to varied and beautiful projects from our design team. Whether you’re a scrapbooker, card maker or love pocket pages, you’ll find something here this week to help you get creative! Let’s start off this week of all things ‘XOXO’ with Sarah Kee, and a gorgeous layout!

Hello all Elle’s Studio friends! It’s Sarah with you today! Can you believe that we are in February already?! Wow! Where does the time go? Anyway, I’m super excited to be kicking off Hugs & Kisses week on the blog.

Today, let’s talk about layouts that focus on places, people, or things that you LOVE—it is Hugs & Kisses week after all! So I’m excited to share one of my latest layouts showcasing a layout about the people that I love the most! I obviously picked my family! 

Supplies | January 2021 Kit, True Love Stickers, Acetate Hearts, All My Heart Wood Veneers, XOXO 6 x 8.5 Inch Paper StackHugs and Kisses Stamp

I wanted to incorporate hearts all over my layout, so I did just that using the Hugs and Kisses Stamp. I stamped a handful of hearts on coordinating patterned paper, and then I fussy cut them out. I decided that I wanted to add pops of color, so I painted some watercolor directly to my white cardstock.

I added the stamped hearts on top of all the pops of color. I love how something as simple as stamps and stickers can create a beautiful repetitive pattern on your background.


I wanted to further embellish the hearts, so I used some of the January Kit die cuts, All My Heart Wood Veneers, Acetate Hearts, and coordinating stickers.

I really loved the “This Is Love” 4″ x 6″ tag and the “Favorite Photograph” 3″ x 4″ tag from the January Kit, so I used them to help frame my photo. 

Viola! That’s all I have for today. So, what do you think?! Are you all ready to start creating too? We want to see a layout or project that focuses on the people, places, or things that you love!

If you do end up making something, please share it with all of us at our Elle’s Studio Facebook Group or on Instagram using the hashtag #EllesStudio. We’d love to see how you use those Elle’s products. 

And as always, thanks for letting me share my work with all of you! 

Stop by tomorrow for pocket page perfection from Nathalie Leonelli on day two of Hugs & Kisses week!
