Start to Finish | Natalie Elphinstone

What I love most about the Office Hours kit is that it's so versatile for a range of themes. You can just as easily pull a set of papers and embellishments from it to suit bold and bright masculine pages as you can to suit frilly flowery girly layouts. But for the layout I want to share with you today there was one paper in particular that inspired me to take the direction I ultimately took. It was the "Check it Out" paper Designed by Dani for Studio Calico. It's obvious library book reference had me remembering my own childhood days where library books used to come with a little pocket for holding the tag with its title, as well as a sheet for stamping it's due date. Taking my cues from that I decided to design a page around this very concept.

    Beautiful layout! Love the title, great design and I like the pocket for the tag. It warms my heart and puts a smile on my face when I see young minds off on an adventure in the form of a book.

    My daughter (age 2.5) found a book with a card pocket in it at our library the other day and thought it was for holding a CD!
