July Tag Kit Now Available :: Elle's Studio

This month's kit is most definitely my favorite yet!

The bright colors are pure perfection!

Info from the Elle's Studio Blog:

Today is a very exciting day! Our limited edition and exclusive kit for July has arrived! There are 23 tags in this set for your layouts, cards, mini albums, and Project Life! From journaling to embellishment tags, and even some vellum, you're sure to find something that will make your projects extra special. We've used popular colors so that they easily coordinate with our papers and with papers you already have in your stash, too. 

These kits are limited and once they sale out we will not be restocking! Look for a new kit each month on the 10th, and as a special bonus to celebrate launch day, kits will be on sale for $9.99 for today only, regular price after that will be $11.99. We currently do not have a subscription option, but we are working on this for the future :) Please send us an email to let us know if you are interested in a subscription option - as soon as we can offer one, you'll be the first person to know! These kits will be able to ship first class: shipping for USA residents will start around $2.00 and go up from there, depending on the weight of what is in your cart. For overseas, it will run about $6+ depending on your location.

around here :: Farm Happenings

Am I the only one who gets stuck in a creative slump?

While I hope it passes soon, I have been turning my focus on my garden, kiddos, & learning to keep up with everyday life.

Around here, the mulberry trees are full of plump tiny berries. We usually just pick a few and eat them as we go, but this year we used them to make jam for the first time. 

Introducing the Mulberry Monster ...

I chose a recipe using strawberries with these as well & it will be really good on biscuits I think!

Another batch of the strawberry-rhubarb jam went into the freezer as well.

Somebody is pretty proud of her new chore boots. ;)

Monday morning breakfast :: using up some passed due bananas

I won't claim to have a green thumb because I really really don't. But, I am doing my best to get there. I love to have flowers in bloom & watching the garden progress.
