a post filled with scraps.

I have four new layouts to share with you today. I'm really excited to share with you... because I am learning how to use my new camera and the pictures are finally turning out the way I would like them! They may not be that bright, but I like it better this way because the sun around here is very harsh on my photos. So, I take them when the sun is still up, but not over my benches on my deck where I set the layouts up.


Now, onto the layouts!




































































(studio calico may kit: granny's cupboard + studio calico nest stamp + maya road leaf stick pin)

This layout was inspired by this one by icenalys. I really, really loved the original and wanted something similar, but different at the same time. If that makes any sense at all.































































(studio calico may kit: granny's cupboard + maya road pearl stick pin)

This layout was inspired by Susan Weinroth's "I Have Loved" layout in the Studio Calico May Gallery. I really loved the "quilted" bottom on her layout and set out to make something similar. I think it turned okay, except for the uneven paper cuts at some points. I'm okay with that, though. It makes it look homespun.

(studio calico may kit: granny's cupboard + maya mist hydrangea blue + white puffy thickers)

This layout was inspired by one of April Foster's layouts in the Studio Calico May Gallery (it had no title). I achieved the misted circle by taking an old glue dots holder and using it as a mask.
Journaling: Technically, it's from N.J., but it's close enough. As you can see, I loved it so much. It was half-eaten before I remembered a pic.





































































(studio calico may kit: granny's cupboard + white sparkle thickers + dear lizzy crochet flowers + maya road leaf stick pin + martha stewart border punch)

I can't remember the name of that border punch. If you know, please let me know! Thanks!

Thanks for dropping by today! It makes me feel better when people stop by. 

Have a wonderful Saturday! xoxo - Kasey
