Five on Friday with Marsha Farris

Hey, Elle’s Studio friends! This is Marsha, and I’m here today with this month’s Five on Friday. I was challenged to create a project featuring five products from this month’s release. I am excited to share the bright and fun pocket page spread I was able to make with a limited number of supplies!
Here are the five products I used for my project:

And here’s what I created:

To begin my layout, I printed several photos from my family’s Mardi Gras party last year. There were so many photos, so I chose to create a double-page spread. I trimmed the speech bubble patterned paper from the Love You Paper Stack to fill the first pocket and used the “celebrate” speech bubble from the February 2022 Cut Files to serve as the title, adding foam adhesive to the cut file for added dimension. Next, I chose pocket tags from the February 2022 Kit to fill the pockets.

I used die cuts from the February Kit to embellish the photos and the journaling pocket tag. Then, I created a fun column of stamped icons with the Icon Tab Stamp and black ink. I love how the stamping draws attention to my favorite photo from the evening: a family group picture.

The other page of the spread features more pocket tags from the February Kit and a flip-up for an additional photo. I used the Fuchsia Cardstock Label Stickers to add “Mardi Gras” to a yellow pocket tag. I am a big fan of these label stickers and love that they are now available in this gorgeous color!

I added die cut tags from the February Kit and stamping with the Icon Tab Stamp to embellish the pockets. The 1, 2, 3 pocket tag was my favorite, and I used it to choose the color palette for the spread. As an added bonus, the colors coordinated perfectly with my photos!

I hope you are inspired to play along with Five on Friday using the amazing February 2022 kit and add-ons! Be sure to share your layout with us using the #EllesStudio hashtag on Instagram or in our Elle’s Studio Facebook Group! Happy creating!
