Hey ya’ll! I am excited to be back for another year of canoodling with the likes of such amazing people. My heart is swooning as I think of how many amazing submissions we have been receiving since I last posted! I can’t wait to expose my crushes for the month (you’ll heart them too when you see their work), so without further ado:


First up is Mindy Miller with her super springy page “All Grown Up”. I love the bright happy colors and her uses of the scallop circles (super easy to do with punches, by hand, or with a die-cutting system). I can’t wait to mimic her use of butterflies as well. Great job Mindy!


Next is Megan Klauer with her amazing page featuring her cute little bundle Ella. I was amazed when I saw this photo…so captivating! As a photographer myself I love to see pages that focus completely on a photo. One this sweet would be a focal point of any page, but I love that she journaled around it and used her embellishments to draw your eye to the photo. Beautiful page Megan!


Third is Katharyn Brine with her page “Trouble”. This is such a sweet way to showcase her daughters naughty side :0). I love her use of hearts and clean white space. They color scheme is also a refreshing combo to use for girls. Thanks for sharing Katharyn!


Fourth is Heather Innusa with her super cute card “Hoppy Easter”. Her card caught my eyes right away; I mean who doesn’t love cuddly little bunnies? I love that she was so creative and put the googly eyes up top to make a little rabbit-so innovative! Thanks so much for inspiring us to make so cute Easter cards Heather!


Last up is Nicole Pomeroy, my super crush…you know that one you never seem to get over or get enough of? Yea…it’s kinda like that ;0). Anyways, she sent in several amazing submissions and this one caught my eye instantly. I love how she used mini-photos. I love that the title is part of her journaling, and I love how simplistic her layout is with plenty of shebang surrounded by lots of white space.

So all my lovely little loves…please send me your work by emailing pictures of your favorite layouts to submissions@ellapublishing.com! I love seeing your fabulous creations and look forward to ogling your goods (if ya know what I mean). I will see you again in May with my new crushes-you won’t want to miss it!
