Ella + Making Memories Day 2
Posted by: Ella
Yes you read correctly- we have even more visual goodies to share with you. And you have until midnight tonight (MST) to leave a comment on
yesterday's post to win your box of
Panorama goodies.
Check out projects on the Making Memories blog.
First off a mini album Noel made using the
Panorama product.





designer notes:For the mini album I used the suitcase
packaging that had a velcro closure already on it. I cut it in half and used my bind it all to make the album. Using coordinated product makes creating mini albums so fun and quick, everything matches and any embellishment I could dream of is part of this line. I loved the tabs and treasure box.
Read about Noel's husband recent homecoming on her blog and check out her recent blog posts about photography.

designer notes:The
Design Workshop eBook and the Making Memories Panorama line were both fabulous to work with. I loved the travel theme of the products, so I chose to tell the story of how my boys love to visit my hometown on the east coast of Canada.
The Panorama line is perfect for travel photos, but many of the designs are generic enough to use on projects of any theme, so I'll be able to create many more pages from my kit leftovers. On this page, I created a playful themed border by using the travel word stickers and a postage-stamp edge from a sheet of die cut paper. I inked the corrugated cardstock letter stickers with the same ink that I used on the edges of my paper and photos to help tie these elements together. The felt embellishment and buttons give this page a lot more texture and dimension than my pages normally have, and I must say I'm loving the look. Maybe it's time for me to consider a style makeover.
I used a design tip from
Design Workshop, Lisa Dickinson's eBook, incorporating a grid design. I even managed to use a design I read somewhere years ago... that photos should be placed so the subjects are looking toward the center of the page. See how my guys are facing the right edge? Overall looking at the page just makes me happy.
