More Studio Calico & Giveaway! **CLOSED**

Hi Everyone,

Sharing a few more layouts that I created with this month's kits from Studio Calico. Seriously, I just love love the fun colors that were in the various kits and how each add-on coordinates easily with each other!

This is definitely another favorite of mine.... I took inspiration from the "take note" pattern paper from Pebbles and went absolutely crazy (just like we were during our vacation in New Zealand).  Loving the speech bubbles look at the moment and also the printables from studio calico made the perfect embellishments.

And a fun close up of the stamps that were in the add-on kit and having fun with one of my typewriters... loving this techno font!

On this layout, I went with a cleaner look and opting to create my embellishment cluster in one main area; layering the different elements together and even squeezed in one of those adorable wood feathers.

Now here's an even cleaner layout.  Keeping things simple here and playing on the arrow stamp (stamped on vellum paper to give it more dimension).

And for this layout, I wanted to try something different - having the focus be on the wordings rather than the embellishments or picture. Sometimes the words are worth a thousand pictures. LOL

Thanks everyone for stopping by and please do stop by my gallery on Studio Calico this month for more details on each of the layouts.

And to kick start the week, how about a small giveaway with goodies from this month kits. Most of items included are new and unopened packs with the exceptions of the loose items that you see here... (the washi tape roll is a new one from the main kit). If you're interested do leave me a comment on this blog post by midnight this Thursday Nov 8th.

Thanks again everyone and specially to the wonderful folks at Studio Calico for this fun opportunity!
