lovin' Elsie

i have always liked Elsie Flannigan's style so when her paper line, Love Elsie, came out, i wanted to get some. but i did not. somehow, it didn't move me enough to pick some up. or maybe i just busted all my money on the Basic Greys that came out about the same time so i didn't have any more dough to get some Elsies.

when the Zoe line came out and Mitch at Visual Creations started a challenge on it, i just couldn't hold out on myself anymore. especially since the rules stated that the LO had to be entirely made of the Zoe line. it's probably just as well. this is one of the fastest LOs i've ever done because i couldn't put too much on it. the only thing that took longer here were the diecut letters which i painted with Making Memories acrylics and the embossed dog which were all cut from Love Elsie cardstock. i was totally itching to load some more on it! boy, i really regretted not getting some of those pretty Love Elsie ribbons!

the theme for the challenge is scrapbooking plan for 2008, so i have officially committed to myself on this LO, my target number of projects this year. let's just see now if i can stick with the plan, Stan.
