Sisters, Cousins, Family

Good morning! It's Product Spotlight day at Paper Issues. Today we are featuring Elle's Studio Cienna.  

I love the colors, especially the pink. The flowers, and the femininity of this line are things I don't often get to use in my scrapbooking. This is one of those times that I decided to treat myself to something different, that I would use primarily for me.

So what did I use it for? A photo of my cousins. It was too beautiful not to use! 

I tried something new and used a bolder background pattern with the pink stripe. I dumped out the packages of wood veneer and ephemera, then mussed them around until they were in a line that I liked. I matted the photo on a contrasting polka dot paper and used two more paper strips under the photo. The journaling tag? That is the piece of cardboard in the ephemera pack. It was a nice way to repeat the floral on the page. I think my favorite thing about this line is the bit of whimsy in the design of the shapes. They are fresh, but not too juvenile. 

The design of the page is inspired by one of the new templates in the Get It Scrapped Scrapbook Coach: Balance.
