2016 Goals Layout for Elle's Studio

It's been an amazing year working with Elle's Studio! I've loved getting the happy kit in the mail every month and playing with the coordinating printables and cut files. Here's a look at all 12 layouts I made from January to December 2015, in order from left to right:

Today I'm sharing my last layout made with the Elle's Studio December kit:

2016 GOALS by Paige Evans

DESCRIPTION: I was tasked with creating a New Year or Year in Review layout so I went with New Year and tried to set some realistic goals. Stars remind me a lot of New Year for some reason (anybody else share this belief?! :) so I made a bunch of 'em.

JOURNALING SAYS: 1. eat healthier & exercise. 2. daily dog walks. 3. read more. 4. scrap more for me. 5. be present.

HOW TO: Turn the stars card from the December printables into a cut file, enlarge it to cover an entire 12x12 page, then cut the stars from a paper in the Thankful collection. Back the stars with dimensional adhesive and patterned papers, die cuts, and the cards used in product packaging. Use glue dots to attach all of the white acrylic stars over the page. Layer tags, cards, die cuts, and a photo across the bottom and add a die cut banner at the top. Stamp "GOALS" on a tab and tuck it under the top edge of the photo. Cut out the "2016" from a card and adhere in a slight curve with pop dots. Place a "hello" wood veneer piece above the numbers to finish the title. Print goals in a typewriter font (I used Traveling Typewriter) and adhere them across the top of the layout.

SUPPLIES: Patterned paper, kit, wood veneer, die cuts, product packaging paper, acrylic stars, stamps, tags: Elle's Studio; Die cut machine: Silhouette Cameo

Thank you for the fun year Elle!!
