My crafty piece of the internet
Has it really been over a month since I posted a layout. Well I’ve done a bit of creating. I’ve done a ton of shopping and reorganization and re-reorganization.
I used Studio Calico’s So Cal kits for this layout. I added the mistable hexagons from the 35mm kit, gold and powder blue mister huey’s, Martha Stewart’s Heart Confetti and the adventure stamp set Studio Calico once offered.
I have to say I’m so happy I decided to subscribe to Studio Calico. In just two months of kits I’m already seeing a change in my scrapbooking. I mean I’m actually creating pages, but cards well I need to get back to doing those.
I started this layout with the embellishment cluster. It’s the first cluster I’ve spend time thinking about. I used a couple die cuts from So Cal I added the hello and that small blue starburst hexagon stamp from the summer stamp class. The restroom lady is from a wood veneer set by Studio Calico that I picked up at my LSS last week. The Wednesday is from the Malibu addon and is byOctober Afternoon.
The title is dons with the grey Basic Grey alphabet from the City of Lights kit (but I picked them up as a shop item this month) the st is a Tim and Beck alpha in So Cal. I like that the title doesn’t stand out too much *thinking that st stands out too much*
I matted the photo on kraft because as I started I had a piece on the table as my layout base and realized the sand was the exact same color. My husband loved
I still have a bunch of stuff from this month’s kits and a couple more layouts I haven’t stared yet, and I order next month’s kits Wednesday morning.

Actually it arrived a week ago. I’ve been playing with it and finally finished this layout over the weekend. This month I got So Cal, Malibu, and Venice Beach.
I started this layout with the Heidi Swapp banner pieces and a photo David took on our flight for our move. I then started pulling other pieces. That pp background I didn’t know how I would use it so I tossed some splatters (Warm Calico and Gold) I stamped the map from the Adventure set that Studio Calico offered a couple months ago. I colored Georgia and California with distress markers Mustard Seed and Spun Sugar I think (or Worn Lipstick) I pulled some more pieces from the kits, the prima ticket that says (with you) the Heidi Swapp trimming, a button, the orange alpha, and twine. Without much thought I just started putting the page together. I actually really like it. Although there’s no triangle for your eye to follow. (something I’m trying to work on)

I love love love this layout. I all started with the woodgrain paper in my May Studio Calico kit. I loved both sides of the paper and I was afraid for weeks to cut it. I trimmed it to 8.5×11 and I figured it would make me use it. I then started pulling some of my favorite pieces from the kit. The Hexagons were colored in powder blue, boss lady, and silver. I pulled one of my favorite photos I’ve taken in a very long time.
The page then came together so easily. I played around with some ideas for the title. When Walt opened Disneyland in 1955 he gave on opening speech, and thus the title/journaling was decided. “To all who come to this happy place” was done in Jillibean tiny text from my stash. Welcome was done with the thickers from the kit.

I can’t believe I let two weeks go by without posting. I’ve been creating that’s for sure.
This layout is made with the 35mm Studio Calico kit. I used Mister Hueys on a couple hexagons, one is Gold, the other I’m not sure I think it’s Silver with some Manila mixed in. I made it after bringing a collection of sprays home. The 3rd I kept the white and added 3 small yellow hearts.
The title was done with the new Stepping Stone alpha (maybe not new if you were able to snag it months ago)
I’ve got quite a bit more to share check back next week!
Thanks for looking and happy crafting! <3 Ann
