Hello, Friday!

Have you snagged your limited edition October kit, yet?  What are you waiting for?!  Our exclusive kits are available in limited quantities – once they’re gone, they’re gone.  You don’t want to miss it!

This month, we also introduced digital cut files that coordinate perfect with our monthly kit.  The best part?  You can use them over and over again on whatever project you’d like!

Our talented design team definitely worked their magic with this month’s kit – take a peek!

We are excited to launch our exclusive and limited edition kit for October – It is full of tags that are perfect for your layouts, cards, mini albums, Project Life and MORE!

You can find our exclusive kit for October in the shop! These kits are limited and once they sale out we will not be restocking! Look for a new kit each month on the 10th, and as a special bonus to celebrate launch day, kits will be on sale for $9.99 for today only, regular price after that will be $11.99. These kits can ship first class: shipping for USA residents will start around $2.00 and go up from there, depending on the weight of what is in your cart. For overseas, it will run about $6+ depending on your location. July and August kits are very close to a sell out, so if you want one, make sure you get one today!

Also, BRAND NEW this month are coordinating cut files! These cut files coordinate with the October kit and as you can see, the designs where pulled right off some of the tags! Our cut files include .png and .svg files. Here’s a peek at October’s cut files:

And, while I was planning out my Christmas cards, I came up with this design and we have this one available in the shop, too! It would be great over photos on layouts and in Project Life, too!

Also, since it is October 10th, that means we have some new inspiration in our, Inspiration Gallery, from our amazing and incredible Design Team and special Guest Designer this month, Geralyn Sy! Look for a special blog post all about Geralyn, coming soon! Here’s some sneak peeks of what is in store and in the gallery now:

There are so many wonderful projects to check out – many use our October kit and some even use our newest collections (Penelope, Noel, and 2014)! Don’t forget, while you’re checking out the Inspiration Gallery you can bookmark your favorite layouts by clicking on the “I heart this” button!

See even more inspiration at each of our Contributing Team Member’s blogs, today too! Make sure you stop by the following: Angie Gutshall, Daniela Dobson, Jennifer Chapin, Kay Rogers, Meghann Andrew, and Melissa Mann!

Our new collections are also in-stock and shipping now. Check out our all-girl collection we named Penelope, our Noel collection for the holidays, and our 2014 calendars that will fit your pocket pages, but would also work great for mini books (and even Christmas presents!).

We’ve also stocked up our Layout Kits – these are so easy and fun to put together. Minimal cutting is required and all you have to do is follow the instructions included in the kit to put the layout together and add your photos! These are perfect for someone just starting out or for someone who wants to get something done quickly!

It’s such an exciting day here and we can’t thank you enough for joining us! We’ve been getting a lot of emails about a December Daily kit and wanted to let you know that we are not putting together a separate kit for December Daily this year, BUT our November and December monthly kits will definitely have items in them that will work perfectly for your albums 😉 We’ll show sneaks of those as soon as we can. And, we are still working on the subscription option for these monthly kits. If you are interested, please email us to be put on a list that will be the first to know when subscriptions are available!

Wishing you guys a wonderful week!

 I love using Elle’s Studio products for my parties (and I love having small family parties so I definitely use them often). I’ve been trying different recipes and practicing for a Halloween party I’m throwing later this month. Here’s a s’mores station I think will be awesome for either making your own or eating a quick pop.

ghost decor: I used the vellum piece from September’s monthly kit to make these cute ghosts. I cut them with the silhouette, then added small googly eyes and glued them to toothpicks. I also used a vintage pennant to label the station.

confetti frame: I used a min poly bag, filled it with confetti and sewed it to this frame from the August monthly kit. It’s just a quick and fun table accent 🙂

happy halloween frame: this is another table accent I made using the super awesome halloween cut files (coming tomorrow!!). I cut the frame from this black and white paper from the Penelope collection, backed it up with the chalk paper from Noel’s collection then added a banner with pop dots and a few veneer stars.

October is here and we are so excited for our next exclusive and monthly kit launch on October 10th at 8:00 am PST. This next kit is all about family, candy, and even Halloween! Plus, there’s lots of tags that you could use for any type of project, too! There is even a fun surprise up our sleeve for this next launch 😉 Make sure you follow us on instagram for some sneak peeks!

Mark your calendars now for the 10th and make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to receive a reminder for when the kit is up for sale!

Also, we wanted to let you know that our July kit is almost sold out – less than 15 remain! Once they are gone, we will not be restocking!
