Studio Calico - So Cal Kit

Another layout using Studio Calico's So Cal kit. I really get excited when I am able to use pink on my projects, since a lot of what I do tends, to have blue's, teals, and brown's. This layout came along pretty quickly, I have some plain cardstock left from the kit and when I was looking through my photos, I saw this one and I was wearing a pink jumper, so I thought, how perfect!!

I took some Prima flowers and glimmer misted them, I also hand cut some Graphic 45 ephemera from an older collection.

Again, super simple layout, but I love the way it turned out!

Mini Butterfly Canvas - Websters Pages and Studio Calico

I love the way these mini canvas's turned out. I used a few of my favorite things on them, butterflies, Prima bling and of course Webster's Pages. I had so much fun using using so many different techniques on them. They are small, but they pack a punch!

1. The first thing I did was take a Webster's Pages pattern paper and adhered it to the canvas using Claudine Helmuth matt medium.

2. I stamped the sentiment using Archival Ink by Ranger in black, then I took some white and yellow pastel paints and just brushed around the paper.

3. I took some Webster Pages mesh and took some modeling paste to the corners. This was so much fun! I them took some Perfect Pearls by Ranger and brushed some onto where the  modeling paste was, then I sealed it by covering the perfect pearls with Bubbles Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels.

4. I used Perfect Pearls by Ranger on the butterflies as well.

Hope you love them as much as I do!! I explain a bit more in detail in the video below:

Let me know if you have any questions!

Another So Cal Layout

I'm back today with another layout I created using So Cal from Studio Calico.

For this page I used only what was in the kit and add on, except for ink and adhesive. I cut out a doily border using my Cameo (am so into doily's lately). I did not need to do much with this page because the background was so busy to begin with. I stamped and fussy cut all of the cute bubble quotes that were in the Venice Beach add on kit that I got, used pop dots to add dimension. I really love the way this layout turned out, with the added benefit of it only taking me about 30 minutes.

Will be back tomorrow with another layout from So Cal.

Hugs!!

A few So Cal Layouts

I am just loving the Studio Calico monthly kits, June was the first month that I joined the monthly subscription kit club, and they really do make an amazing kit. Here is a layout that I made with my very first kit So Cal:

This layout was so much fun!! I got to use lots of flowers and pink, which I normally stay away from  since I scrap mostly pictures of my son. This picture is from last year when we were in Florida. We go to the same place pretty much every year, since I was about 10. I get so excited bringing my son back to this place and sharing my memories with him of when I was a child and my parents would bring me and my brother here. This picture was taken at the St. Pete Pier. When I was younger i remember it seemed much bigger then it is to me right now. Back to the layout, I used my Cameo to cut out the doily at the top and the bottom left hand corner, then I glimmer misted them both. I glimmer misted all of the flowers (not included in the kit, from my stash), and for the little pink ones, I stamped on them, because i wanted to give them some more depth and interest. I placed flat back pearls in the centers of all the flowers (from my stash). I used some Studio Calico Veneer Birds (not included in the kit), and I stamped a feather design on them to also give them some interest and depth. Love the way this layout turned out!!
