A Beautiful Mess

inspiration is everywhere!

today I just wanted to share some things that are inspiring me and just making me smile... life is so full of good things.

some fun pillows I purchased from the blue thimble on Etsy.

some cool coasters from littleoddforest.

Ingrid. I know I have mentioned her before, but her stuff is amazing. I am SO in the mood for her songs today.

and a few new photos that I have done.... been doing some photography just for fun... super excited to scrapbook some of these photos with my new CHA product coming up......

I made a little goodie box this morning (buttons, stamps, some Red Velvet goodness, some KI and Love, Elsie....) as a little "welcome prize". say hello in the comments if you would like a chance to win. I will choose one winner on Sunday night. :)

I am SO excited about my new blog... thanks for taking a peek! :) Love, Elsie

Goodnight! Happy 4th!!!!!!

some "just for fun" love...

playing with the new RV kit. I wasn't really in the mood for scrapping today, so I played with my art journal a little bit and made a card... sometimes it's good to switch it up! :) Hope you had a good monday! I can't believe the 4th is this week! This year is going by WAY too fast! lol!

learning and growing...

I just wanted to share a cool link to a digital cross-processing tutorial that my friend, Jen, shared with me this past week... I love learning new tricks in PS, so much fun!

I have TONS going on this week and some cool stuff to share very soon! Things are getting pretty busy with CHA coming up!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had some fun times with friends and family and probably a little too much fun playing with this. :)

Happy Sunday! els

ps. these photos are my friends Geno & Mary (super cute and sweet people) and some handprints under a mural downtown.... :)
