March Studio Calico Kit Layouts

I am so excited to share what I got done with the March Studio Calico Kit. I decided in January that I will try to use some old supplies along with my kits. I didn't manage to use old supplies on every layout but I did work some really old stuff in there.

We don't normally get much snow in South Jersey but this has been a lucky year for us. I have tons of great snow pictures this year.

We were blessed with a new nephew in January. I had that frame and vellum sticker forever. I am glad they never made it to the trash bin because I like how they look with the black heart paper.

Prom 2009. I didn't add anything old to this layout. The Heidi Swapp words were on clearance at M's.

My birthday. Remember those old MM definition stickers? They have to be ten years old.

Another snow pic. I love this one. The whites are the same in person.

This little cutie did not want to be serious. Taking these pictures is how I found out that my camera has a backlight feature.

These are just the tags from Ben's school clothes.

An old title and photo corners and some of my favorite wood veneers.

I am looking to ads some journaling to this but I can't find just the right tag or card. I want something that will look good with the kitten card.
I love the wood grain paper with the heart. This was last Easter. The chipboard word is from Lil Davis Designs. Yup, super old.


I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with this word paper but it worked out ok.

Prom 1990. I misplaced one of the photos but I know it is around.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Cassie.

I love the handmade wood veneer that came in the kit. It was perfect for the layout of my husband with his treasure box that he designed and had made. That box has to weigh at least thirty pounds. Haha

Thank you for looking. There are still some papers left from my kit so I hope to make a few more layouts before my new kit arrives on Tuesday.

Counterfeit Kit May Blog Hop

Hi. If you are here for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop, welcome. If you stumbled onto my blog and would like to start at the beginning or you are looking for the complete list of blogs you can find it here . Our challenge was to get inspiration from our favorite scrapbook company and their blog. I have quite a few favorite companies, but for the challenge I chose Jillibean Soup . They have so many fun layouts on their blog and I found this layout by Julie Bonner and thought it was great. For my layout I switched the hearts for shamrocks. I had this adorable picture of my grandson from St. Paddy's Day and I was happy to find a cute layout idea. I used my Cricut to cut the shamrocks with the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. I used a touch of adhesive on the top of each shamrock to hold it in place while I was sewing but none near the center because I didn't want the needle to be sticky. I followed the lines of the ledger paper to keep the sewing straight. The layout went

June Counterfeit Kit

I was so excited to see the inspiration kit for June at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog. Burlap and Butterflies put together the great kit in this picture. I really liked all of the pink, orange, blue and green in the original kit so I tried to stick with that. As my main paper and color reference I chose an old sheet of BG that I have had for years. I love the elephants and the colors were just right. I ended up with fifteen patterned papers. My embellishments... What can I say, I went overboard. I couldn't help it. I have all of these great Sassafras goodies from my mystery box so I needed to add some to my kit. I have a few things in here from last month, and a few things that I have had for a long time. I have some buttons, ribbon, and bling mixed in with some tab stickers, chipboard, and journal spots. I made the summer add on and I managed to only use four papers! And only a few little embellishments. See, I have a little self control... But then it ended. I tried to pic

Welcome to the November Blog Hop. If you came here from Jemma's blog you are in the right place. If you came from anyplace else and would like to hop along with us, you can start at the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.  This month our sponsor is Scraptastic Club . Our challenge was to use our kit to make a home decor item. I used my kit (and one additional patterned paper and ribbon) to make this fun wall hanging for my grandson's playroom. I was inspired by this fall wall hanging on Pinterest. My chipboard alpha blocks are eight inch squares. I bought the whole set last week at Ross for $3.99. Thanks for looking. The next stop on the hop is Julie Ann , I am sure she has something beautiful to show you. If you get lost along the way the hop list is below.
