I got my April Studio Calico kit yesterday and have already finished my first layout with it! I did it last night, I just needed to wait for some light to take the picture! It's a picture of my mom and me on the front porch of many of the houses we lived in when I was a child - my Dad was in the Navy so we moved quite a bit! This kit has Crate paper - which I LOVE (one of my layouts is featured on the Crate Paper blog today!!) and the colors are just so lovely and vintage-y! And those little house stamps are sooo adorable (they were in one of the add-on kits). I used some turquoise Maya mist on the embossed woodgrain cardstock (by Core'dinations) and used my new Ranger inks, tumbled glass and spun honey, for the houses. The lacy doily rub-ons are made by Studio Calico! The journal card was from an earlier Studio Calico kit (can't remember which one!). TFL!!
Oh what soothing colors! I love the house borders too... your pages always look so pulled together. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute layout, love the little houses stamped across the bottom.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you a secret? I have made one LO with one of my SC kits. One. The other kits I have pawed through and then put away. Sad but true story. LOL
