I didn't think I'd really like the April Studio Calico kit when I saw it online, but ever since I've laid eyes on it I've been inspired to scrap a bunch of my vintage pics! I LOVE this kit! The colors are just so ME and the papers are just so scrappable...LOL. I usually get a set of extra papers with each kit, but I didn't this time because I've had so much leftover - but that was a big mistake this month!! I think all the layouts I've made with this kit are my most favorite ever!! I love the one with Michael when he was 17 - oh to be young again!! The cork buttons are too cool and I happened to have some Karen Foster cork to mat the picture! For aye-aye captain I used some Claudine Hellmuth paints and a stamp from an older Studio Calico kit. For the "my room" layout - I used an older (November) Studio Calico kit with the new April kit - that's how well these go together! I was looking for a piece of yellow cardstock, and I discovered that I wanted to use a lot of what was left of the November kit - which wasn't much! I did some misting and added some Zva pearl bling from my stash. Love how different they all look - yet all from the same kit!! Can ya tell I really love this kit??? TFL!!
Dang girl...you are rockin' this kit....I especially like the highschool hubby one...hubba hubba!! My SC just came today and I'm hoping to be as inspired as you were:)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Valerie!!! Loving these. I just got my kit in the mail today. I'm still unsure of the main kit papers, I like them...not sure what I am going to do with them. Maybe I should get some photos printed out in sepia?
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!! Also congrats on your toot!!! :D
ReplyDeleteGot my kit yesterday and pawed through it but haven't use a bit of it yet. Your LOs are fabulous! My favorite is "My Room." Love all the details and the bead embellies.
ReplyDeleteThat one of dh made me laugh - I've got some of my dh at that age too, don't they look so young? Ah and the journaling was almost perfect too... might just scraplift that one as is :)
ReplyDeleteReally like those trees too.
