Here's the original Studio Calico kit:
Here's my take on this gorgeous kit:
For my papers I have K&Co., American Crafts and DCWV. The die cut paper is by Crate Paper. I used a CTMH envelope template and a border punch to make my version of those beautiful KI pockets. I only made one because I'm not sure how many of them I'd use in the end. Don't want to waste too much paper in case I just use the one. My labels are K&Co. journaling spots which I stamped with some CTMH stamps. I also added some blank sticker labels from Scenic Route and Jenni Bowlin. Since I don't have a circles background stamp, I pulled out some rub-ons I had that I think will do nicely. Used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch and a CM punch for my butterflies. Got my thickers, mini alphabet stickers in brown, random bling and ribbon and for my doilies I found some Sassafras Lass diecuts that will do.
Again, I had a lot of fun shopping my stash to create this kit. I'm especially happy to have finally used my CTMH stamps. I got those things over a year ago and I just got around to using them now! One thing this challenge is doing for me is forcing me to look at my supplies under a whole new light.
I still want to put together the other three kits. Hopefully I can do so before next month's kit goes public!
I also wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who have stopped by to take a look and especially thank you to those of you who have left me comments. I'm brand new to blogging and it was really exciting and encouraging to read your comments. Thanks!
