enJOY it

i love october.

Iloveoctober

crystal iPhone case, new Lotta Jansdotter fabric, kate spade idiom bracelets (ever since my wedding, these are my favorite gifts to give), original painting of a San Diego trolley car (I'm dreaming about this), "marriage is" art print, kate spade glitter pumps (though I wonder how this much less expensive pair would look?), dogeared rose gold earrings.

ps. I get questions every now and then about how I create these "I LOVE" collages. They are created in Photoshop Elements 9 & I filmed a seven minute video of my process. If you're interested, you can watch it here.

    Hey Elise: Here’s a tip i bet you’ll love.
    Command+shift+4 actually gives you click-and-drag cross hairs for the screen shot. So, rather than taking a screen shot of the entire screen, you pull it (like you would with the crop tool) and it will just make your image what you selected.
    You will eliminate the step of needing to edit/crop the excess screen content. Hope that makes your life easier!
    Convo me if you need any clarification!

    You know, I BET you could make those shoes using an inexpensive pair to start with. Do it! Do it!

    I love that art print. There’s a young man named Austin Kleon who writes newspaper blackout poetry that is just like that.

    I, too, have seen several DIY tutorials for glitter shoes…not sure I could pull them off though.

    Blocking out words in black to only leave the ones that jump out at you looks like a fun way to make some art!
    The Old Navy black and white glitter shoes look even better than the multicolor ones 🙂

    I agree, If I got the old navy ones, I would do black and white.

    I have not ordered anything on this list. 🙂 I am hoping to upgrade to the 4S so I will be looking for a case that works with that. I had a $40 case for two years with my 3gs and it is just starting to peel, but its been perfect.

    thanks so much for making the video! i love your collages. and this month’s–oh my, those shoes are to die for. and i agree with the others…you should TOTALLY do a DIY on the shoes and let us know how it goes (and how much glitter rubs off on your carpet!) and then you can do a monthly glitter tutorial…a girl can never have enough glitter!

    Those earrings are gorgeous. I bet my baby girl would love tugging on them, though. 😉

    Bakers has glitter heels for a reasonable price that come in a million different colors. Only $50 I think?
