October Studio Calico Kit Projects

 This month's kits are full of cozy prints & unique embellishments - perfect for fall!

Here are a couple of cards that I made using the Underground Card Kit.  The feather/arrow dies are my fave!

 I want to wallpaper my craft room in this floral print!  This is another card made with just the main kit. The kit comes with a full set of gold glittered tag pockets... which just so happen to fit gift cards perfectly!

 I also made a couple of projects using these fun add-on stamp sets:

 

The Tea Time set is so adorable!  I love all of the different buildable images... especially the tea bag & separate tea solid stamp.

 I love it when a stamp set can be used for more than its original purpose.  I made this Disney inspired card using the Halloween stamp set along with the Underground card kit.

 

Thanks for taking a peek at my projects for this month.  You can find all of the newly released kits here and the gallery is packed with inspiration!

Documenting Disney

I've been collecting supplies to create a mini album to document our recent trip to Disney World & thought I'd share.  I wanted a simple system - something that I know would be easy to put together.  I knew that there was no way I would be creating dozens of layouts, so I decided to go with a "pocket scrapbooking" design.

Simple Stories just released this new collection called Say Cheese & I think it's perfect!  Since we have boys, I didn't want anything with Disney Princesses or the color pink... and, since my boys are 8 & 12, I wanted something that wasn't too juvenile, but still fun.

Here are some pictures of some of the pieces in the collection:

I thought this alpha sheet was really cute.  I love the Disney-like fonts & the variety is really awesome!

 These are the 4"x6" & 3"x4" cards that slide into the pocked page protectors.  It makes documenting so easy!

So... last night, I was researching albums & having a hard time finding exactly what I wanted.  And then, it came to me!  I ordered Studio Calico's December Daily kit & it comes with this awesome mini album:

The embossed stars are just perfect!  Of course, the binder would be perfect for my Dec Daily album, but I decided to order the Magical Handbook to use for it instead.  Now all my ducks are in a row & I can't wait to get started.

I also have some of these embellishments by Jenni Bowlin that I thought would be fun for the Disney album:

And these Two Peas exclusives are also perfect!  These stars come in several different colors.

 And this wood veneer card fits perfectly in a pocket page as well.

So... if you're like me & are wanting to document your family's vacation memories, I hope this gives you a few ideas on where to start.

Now to print the 1000 photos we took.  Sigh.... :)
