let me introduce you to the august studio calico kit, boardwalk!
first of all, let me start off by saying that i am absolutely in LOVE with the colors in the main kit. teal is one of my favorite colors to work with. and the exclusive crate paper/SC papers are amazing.
i really want to order about six more sets of them. i fell in love.
my shopping list:
and here’s what i came up with this month.

how fun are the american crafts chalkboard stickers? i had so much fun playing with them.
i made this layout during a VERY hectic and stressful week. scrapbooking was the only escape i had all week long. i wanted to savor my time. take a little longer making a page. and yes, i wanted to try some techniques.
on this page i stamped, misted, and sewed. and i had FUN. i felt so much better and less stressed after making this page!
notes:
i used a 1.5 inch circle punch and a 1 7/8 scalloped circle punch.the top right circle is just one of the chalkboard stickers that i punched with a scalloped circle punch.
here’s how i did the “c” and “l” initials like the one you see above. i used the sassafras stickers as a stitching template. i adhered them to the paper, punched holes around them using a pushpin, and then removed the sticker and stitched the letters (i used one strand of floss). then i painted the centers using calico cream mister huey’s.
the circles were stamped using versafine pigment ink in onyx black.
the numbers were simply sassafras stickers that i stuck on the circles, outlined with dashes (using a white uniball signo pen), and removed. the uniball signo works GREAT on these stickers, i also did the journaling using the signo.
the second circle from the top on the right row is embellished with the maya road ruffle trim from sandcastle.
because of my girls

i used punches galore here. my old standby, apron lace, a corner rounder, and the think pink SLICE design card.
again, i used the maya road ruffle trim from sandcastle to embellish punched circles (punched using a 1 1/2 inch circle punch).there’s that awesome stamp from boardwalk again! 🙂
i used close to my heart ink in lagoon to stamp the circles.
this layout is actually on AC vanilla cardstock, but i spritzed it with piglet mister huey’s (pretty much the only mist i consistenly use) to make it more vibrant.
&they were 2 peas in a pod
8.5×11
not much to clarify here. i used the SC exclusive paper to make “two peas in a pod”. love the twine in the main!
the photo on this layout just makes my heart happy.
so there you have it! if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
if this was not the week i was doing cha work and packing for a trip, i would have done SO many more layouts. i was just itching to do more. but there was no way, jose. 🙂
hope your day is beautiful and blessed!
