Home Front Sneak #4

I know a few of you are FabRip lovers out there.
You know how to rip.
You know how to make 'em look awesome on a layout.

Here's where I need your help. Please talk to your local stores and tell them why they need these. Get on your knees and beg if you have to. You have my permission ;)

Not to make you jealous or anything, but I've already used that woodgrain one on a layout.

I'll be back tomorrow with ALL the paper images. Just you wait!

Colors INSPIRE you!

hello everyone!
Today I would like to invite you to be inspired by COLOR :)
I'm a color lover, I mainly scrapbook color photos as my heart hurts to turn them into b&w but oh well...
I used this week this color scheme :

and here's what I did :

The painted background was made using glimmer mists and maya mists. Simply use a piece of white cardstock to protect your desk, spray over your chipboards or whatever you wanna spray on and keep the white sheet as a gorgeous and colorful patterned paper :)

Take care!

Home Front Sneak #3

Yes, journaling cards! If you don't like one side, use the other! Love these bad boys. Printed on 100# weight cardstock, they're sturdy enough to use in a mini or on a layout. They're oh so perfect.

Stephen's favorite is "to do" with the rings.
Mine is the "notes" with the houndstooth.
But either way you slice it, you'll get all four double-sided cards per pack. Enjoy!

Home Front Sneak #2

Get ready for it.......
This is not for the faint of heart.




No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is woodgrain + the Noah alphabet.

For those of you who already own the beloved Noah stamp set, this alphabet is slightly smaller and in cardstock sticker form. YUM.

All 199 pieces of woodgrain and gray goodness.

Get Sketchy!

Dear Studio Calico lovers

Today is my first post EVER on the Studio Calico blog and I'm proud to show you this week's sketch for you to be inspired!

I used my Bazaar add-on kit for this layout, with a photo very dear to my heart, taken last weekend during our {entreARTistes} event in Montpellier (I live in the South of France, by the way).

And here's my version of this sketch :


I couldn't resist using one of the October's kit enveloppes :D Those are SO gorgeous! Can't wait to get my hands on more, I saw some amazing artwork in the members galleries using them...


If you are inspired by this sketch, feel free to share with us your amazing layouts! :)
Take care!

See you later this week! Davinie and I will be pleased to be your host this week on the blog! :)

Thanks for playing the Pop-Dot Challenge with use this week!!

Lisa and I both participated in the challenge along with you all:) Here's our examples:





I love how Lisa popped up all of her little circles. From what I spy MOST of this layout can be made from the November kit.


I used the foam tape and popped up several bits of this little card ALSO using left overs from the November Kit.

We both used that same paper from October afternoon for our examples! Great minds think alike!

Tutorial: Layering Mists by April Foster

By now, most of you know my love of misting. Originally, I misted mainly with single colors, but more recently, I've begun experimenting with several colors on a layout.

For this tutorial, I used the YEARBOOK KIT plus the following supplies:

1. Cream, Bubblegum, & Cherry Maya Mist
2. 3" & 1.5" circle punches

browsing the YEARBOOK!

As you wait patiently for Marketplace to arrive, hows about we take a trip through Yearbook?

I browsed back through all 20 pages of Yearbook's gallery, and SO SO many layouts jumped out at me. Here are a few of my FAVS!!

I love how Beth Ann used the Boyfriend line with this layout...perfect storytelling with nice details!

I love how Jill used the SC paper in this layout! Her photo is great and the bright colored paper and embellishments help tell the story!

Oh my!! I LOVE this layout so so much. The colors are perfect for this vintage photo of Valerie and her dad. {btw: I'm SOOOO into that owl!!}

How can you resister this adorable layout by Leslie? The title is so great for that look. I really love the whole background of SC paper and the AC stickers are a great finishing touch!

Another irresistible photo and layout! ArlaMo's little is just too happy for words! I truly love the simple!

I pretty much love everything that Chris does. This layout shows off her awesome handwriting, and adorable daughter perfectly. I love how she opened up the envie like that, and I think I spy a strip of SC edging (the red.)

I love how Keshet embellished this plaid Sass paper! The butterflies are a great addition too!!

I know Ally thought she wouldn't even USE this piece of paper, and then used it right away. That's how creativity works sometimes! I love how she cut this down to 8.5x11, BRILLIANT!

I love all the bits that Nichole used on this layout. The envie is so cute peeking out, and I love the posies on there. Who can resist the Kraft? Not me!!!
