there was this one time…
It's almost reveal day at Studio Calico! Thought I'd share my sneaks here! Excited to have the Australia stamp to use! 
Kraft is really my favorite. 
Flowers not watercolored in. 
Finally did a layout from our Lorde concert, yay! 
Flowers watercolored in. 
Probably my favorite this month! :) 
See you at the Reveal on the 27th! :)
My 9 year old daughter Elsie is always up for a creative challenge. She is a maker and doer at heart! When I enrolled for the Color Theory class, I had no idea I would invite Elsie to join me in the lessons. Well, last night was our first class and we had such a good time creating together. PS- They've extended enrollment! Sign up by March 13th at 11:59pm EST. We learned about the Impasto Paint Technique, here's our results. Elsie's negative and positives of the painting. 
The class calls for a Silhouette machine and since I don't have one, I used some of my old KI Memories Lace paper. I did borrow one from Amy though, so I am excited to get practicing in the next few weeks! Close up of Elsie's negative. SO PRETTY and gunky and all that texture! We definitely loved all the smearing without worrying process 🙂 The lifting up and revealing is also pretty cool. 
Mine. We used some old shipping chipboard as our backdrop which was perfect as it's super sturdy for our goopy paint! I was so excited when I woke up this morning to them all dry. It just feels good to feel like you are a real painter :)
My finished layout. I don't know what Elsie will do with her pieces, I'll post whenever she gets them done. I ended up using the negative piece for my layout, the whole entire chipboard and all! I will try and add the positive image on another project. I may have missed the whole point of that lesson as most people used the positive impasto technique part but I went this way. And that's okay. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I used bits from the current Studio Calico Odyssey kit, Calypso kit, Penelope kit, the Laina Alpha Stamp set, and some Printable digital elements by Hello Forever.
I loved that I could get messy with this layout and not worry about smudges and mistakes. That swish of paint under SWING title was not on purpose! 🙂 Looking forward to more lessons with Wilna and more happy mistakes!
How is it almost MARCH already!? 2015 is zooming by, sigh. I was tickled to have a layout on the official Sneak of Odyssey Kits! Awwww, it had to be a Jonathan Canlas photo of course! :) 
Here's some of my other sneaks! That patterned paper! I want it in a blanket, a top, a cardigan, everything! 🙂
Never did I think I could pull off a Disney page! Woohoo! 
These are all a mix of the addons, the scrapbook kit and some digital embellishments. My faves! I've been having fun with those and will be posting a separate post for some of the things I've been making!
Presale is a subscriber-only event that starts at noon EST on the 27th. This is when subscribers have a chance to purchase the next month’s kits and add-ons before they become available to the general public. The full Reveal starts at midnight EST on the 27th (technically 12:00 am EST on the 28th), and this is when the kits and add-ons become available to everyone. Hope you can join us!
I loved this kit so much! There were so many pieces that just screamed happy to me! I love the pop of yellow that made it into the kit too.
So many cute patterned papers, I may have gotten carried away with the mixing on a few of them. 🙂 I'm just happy I have a layout with my whole family represented!
