Happy New Year and welcome to the Elle’s Studio blog! We are so excited that you are here to ring in a new year with us. We have an amazing new design team to inspire you, a new blog coordinator, Meghann Andrew, to bring new projects to our blog, and a lot of fabulous product planned to help you document 2017!
To kick things off, Jamie Leija is here to share her new 2017 album title page with us! Let’s take a look.
Hiya, Jamie here and today I’m sharing the title page for my 2017 album. I don’t have a plan for my albums this year… or most years for that matter! I never have a set size in mind. I just make a page in whatever size I want and go from there. I love having so much flexibility to create what I want!
Supplies | December 2016 Exclusive Kit, 2017 Large White Acrylic, Celebrate Stamp, Dated Stamp, Acrylic Stars – Winter Mix, Sunny Days 6″ x 6″ Paper Stack
For this year’s title page, I created a 6″ x 12″ pocket page, simply because I thought it would be fun! I used a 6″ x 6″ square black and white photo that I took on New Year’s Eve. It’s the four of us: me, my boyfriend, our dog (you can see her ears at the bottom of the photo) and our cat. It’s not perfect, but it’s us.
I used the Celebrate stamp and white ink to stamp directly on the photo. I love that it gives it a graphic feel. And the black and white really makes those colorful journaling tags pop! I chose a 4″ x 6″ tag from the December exclusive kit and embellished with the large acrylic “2017.” To finish the page, I added two acrylic stars and a heart I cut out using my Silhouette.
Since there’s no telling when I might next make a 6″ x 12″ sized layout, I opted to create my own pattern for the back side of the page. I used the Dated Stamp and 8 different colors of ink to create the pattern. It took me a while since I switched up the colors a lot, but it was so fun to make and see completed! The dates that were outlined are some of the more important dates of our year—birthdays, gotcha days, etc.
I’m excited to kick off the year with this fun and colorful page. We can’t wait to see what you all create during 2017! Be sure to share your projects with us on Instagram using the #ellesstudio hashtag!
