Studio Calico's Hello Hello kits have me ready to embrace summer. Okay, so I'm still nervous about balancing work and play with the boys home, but after spending some time crafting with citrus color brights and recording some favorite "almost summer" (and one "past summer") memories - I'm ready to say BRING IT ON.
Except for afternoons at the pool. I'm going to need the temp to go up a bit before I'm ready to embrace THAT.
Here's a peek at what I made with the kits. This layout is the Hello Hello Scrapbook kit only. I challenged my embellishment obsessed self to do a layout without ANY. It wasn't easy - but I love how it turned out.
I did this page for the sneak slideshow - and then took it apart and reconstructed it using one of Shanna Noel's templates for the background (PS : it's available now, and you can check it out here). Turns out I just can't say no to a rainbow sunburst. I'll share more on how I tweaked the template to make it work for this page later this week.
I used the Hello Hello Project Life® kit to add three pages to my May PL. It turned into a bit of a highlights reel of the multitude of end of school activities. I've got a pile of programs and awards waiting for me to spend some time with the Attachers die (it's back in stock!) so they can be added in as well.
I really wanted to use the acrylic paint from the main kit, but neither of the colors were quite right for this page. I mixed them together and came up with a perfect shade of green.This page uses the Scrapbook main & add-ons, as well as the digital printables.
My last page is also a mix of scrapbook kits and digital - my favorite part is the circle stamps by Ashley Goldberg that are in the Bonjour add-on.
Reveal is tomorrow (seriously? already?!) - which means that subscribers can start shopping at midnight EST tonight and have their purchases bundled with their kits. What's on your list? I've got a few things in my cart :
1) More Adhesive - I'm picking up a new Dot Glue runner - mine is so old it's not even pink, and it's not running as smoothly as it used it. And yep, more refills too.
2) WRMK 2x2 photo sleeves - I'm obsessed with how they fit in the Handbook albums, and need more.
3) Wink of Stella Gold Glitter Brush Marker - Totally intrigued by this and can't wait to try it!
4) SC Grid Paper - I should really just start ordering this in bulk. All of my pages this month are built on the grid paper.
I'll see you at the reveal chat at 11am EST tomorrow!
Studio Calico offers three types of monthly kits - Scrapbook, Card & Project Life® - as well as add-on kits and shop items to complement them.
