Featuring Studio Calico │ May Chasing The Sun release

I'm just about caught up with sharing my 2020 Studio Calico projects and this post will share projects from May. These projects were so much fun to make so I'm happy to share them with you.

First up are the projects from May using the Chasing the Sun kits and stamps. I adore lemons so I really loved that title card on a spread of photos from this past June. They just scream happiness to me as do the other bright happy colors in this kit.




The stamp sub was perfect for documenting what its like out there trying to do something that used to be so easy, grocery shop.



There was a really fun addon stamp set that was perfect for documenting what our pool looks like this year. I just loved stamping, coloring in and fussy cutting all of the icons from this stamp set, especially the monstera leaves.




I have another post coming next week sharing my projects using the June kits that just released.

Featuring Studio Calico │ March and April

Hello friends, I'm back again playing catch up and sharing my Studio Calico projects. These are from this past March and April.

Here are the projects from March using the Fly Away kits. I created this spread using photos from January and added some of the digital files of the stamp sub to photos and cards.




The notebook kit was so pretty and the butterfly stamp was fun to stamp and fussy cut.



This addon stamp set from Paislee Press was perfect for documenting an amazing sunset.



Next up we have projects from April using the Color Me Happy kits. My fussy cutting adventures continued bit time in April as you will see below. The first project is a documenter spread and I paired it with photos from our Hawaii trip last November. That ocean card really spoke to me. As did the bright text cards.




The London Calling addon stamp set was perfect to document a tea party with friends. Stamping and cutting the images to create filler cards was a lot of fun.




More cutting of the cutest little instax frames on the stamp sub for a notebook spread.



Take care,

Featuring Studio Calico │ January and February

I have been so bad about sharing my Studio Calico projects here so I'm going to play a little catch up this week to get back on trace and sharing.

First up are the projects I made using the January High Five kits.

First up is the documenter kit. This spread documents our 20th anniversary trip back to Disney-world where we went on our honeymoon. It was a great trip and a great kit to document it.




Next up is a spread made using the travelers notebook kit. I always love the mix of soft and pretty and bright and bold pages in the notebooks. It gives you plenty of opportunities to share a variety of stories.



Another spread using the notebook kit but this time its bright and bold layout. I used the stamp sub on this spread and love the bright pops of color.



Next up I want to share the projects I made with February's Full Heart kits.

The documenter kit was perfect to document things I was loving in January. I really loved the simplicity of the title card and I adored the Love List card.




I used the Stamp Sub and the notebook kit on this spread. I love a good little icon stamp and this set was perfect for sharing a few things that were happening in January.


I'm a sucker for a good black and white spread and when I can add in pops of pink, even better.


Thanks for being here!

Featuring Ali Edwards │ May Projects

Hello friends, I'm here today to share the projects I made using Ali Edwards products this month. Things are quiet here and we're really looking forward to getting out more as soon as the orders are lifted. We continue to be grateful for a home to shelter in and family to spend our days with. Documenting and continuing to take photos of how we are filling our days continues to bring me joy and creating things with the images is wonderful therapy.

This first spread was made with the June Stories by the Month kit. I loved all of the circle elements and used them to dance across the page. I used a little photoshop magic here to turn my vertical photo into a horizontal one by mirroring my image to span two pages. I love how this turned out and the wood veneer suns were my favorite accent.




My second spread was made using the May Digital Stories by the Month kit. I used a journaling card for my inspiration and turned the sections into digital frames to clip photos too. I have been asked to do a tutorial on how I did this so watch for a video very soon.



Lastly I made a 9x12 layout using the We Story Kit. I loved the bold graphic symbols in this kit and used a journaling card for the base of my page my enlarging it. I added some minc silver foil to a few elements to bring in some shine against the grey.
