Relax!

It's been a LONG TIME since I've played along over at 52 Sketches . . . 52 Weeks, but I did create a layout for their current sketch!


I used a few pieces from my NEW Studio Calico kit for this layout. The patterned paper is Basic Grey June Bug, the letter stickers are Sassafras, the flowers are Primas, and I sewed on some buttons. I stamped a couple of Autumn Leaves swirl stamps in two corners of the page. The journaling was done on the computer and then cut into strips. I cut the large circle scallop on my Expression.


This is Sketch #31 over at 52 Sketches . . . 52 Weeks. Fun sketch, isn't it?

I hope you're having a great Saturday!! It's so hot and humid here today! I mean REALLY humid . . . yuck! I'll be staying inside in the A/C!! Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Grand Canyon

I haven't created a two-page layout in a long time! I wanted to scrap very recent photos from our Arizona trip, and the Grand Canyon definitely needs more than one page!

I used lots of items from my most recent Studio Calico kit. I also used SEI papers and tags. I added Making Memories Passport items. I sewed on quite a few buttons, and I really did a lot of distressing! I really love the way that this turned out! You can click on the photos for a closer look!

Here's a closer look at the first page. I love the tag and the tickets!

Here's a closer look at page two! I love all of these photos so much! What an amazing trip!

By the way, I'm trying out a new blog template. Let me know what you think! Thanks!! I hope you're having a great day, and as always, thanks for stopping by!

I LOVE MY CAMERA!

I was inspired to create another layout using my July kit from Studio Calico! I've been wanting to scrapbook this photo of me with my camera for a while now, and the July kit called Documentary has a travel/photography theme, so now was the perfect time!


This layout not only uses a Studio Calico kit, it also uses a sketch that was posted on the Studio Calico blog! The July kit came with a very cool camera stamp, and I stamped it in Versamark right above my title. It is very subtle, and I think it looks cool! I just used items from the kit! I sewed a lot of buttons on this page! You can click on the layout to see all of the little details. I love the way this turned out!!

I hope you're having an awesome Friday! Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

Groovy!

I made my first layout using a Studio Calico Kit! I love it! This is from the July kit called Documentary.


I don't think I could have found a more perfect paper for the girls all dressed up in their tie-dye t-shirts! I used just items in the kit except for stamps from a Stampin' Up set. Please click on the photo to see all of the fun details! I did a lot of detail cutting with the flowers! I'm really thrilled with this page!!

I hope you have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!!
