A Bit East-coast

first Studio Calico, then Jenni Bowlin and last some photos...

 Another page made with Studio Calico's December kit-I added the butterfly!
 
 Monday I stayed in and I did two pages for JBS Mercantile with Jan kit. I really wanted to go to Michael's for some Valentine supplies. But I stayed home all day ;-)
 
 
 
 
 Grandma & the girls Nov 2010 at the Capital. Kiela's hair is like that in almost every photo!!
 My sister Hilary & her bf Chris.
 In her defense it was SUPER cold & windy-so grandma needed that hat. How cute is she :-P
 
 
 Kiela loves her jewelry, too bad the girls were banned from wearing in class. She was heartbroken.
 
 

 

Thanks to all the new followers, I am trying to blog more often!!!

some Studio Calico, a little Making Memories and lots of photos...

 I took some time today to do a couple of pages. December Studio Calico kit was filled with the sweetest colors. It was hard to pick what to snip into first.
 I started this page with the Christmas line from MM 2 wks ago-I am getting a bit addicted to misting. I used some older chipboard letters & numbers for this page from various companies. I love the fact I can use them over & over for more misting!
 
 I am trying to pulled down the Christmas decorations. I hate how the house looks bare after it's all been taken down. I think I need to replace it with Valentine decor!
 
 
 
 
 I really love paperwhites and wanted to grow another batch. These just started blooming last week. Lulu loves the fire...I love the combination of all three together.
 
 
 

 I took so many photos of Kiela making cookies. Her hard work paid off with us having fun decorating them and eating them only after I took pictures of the prettiest ones-LaVaughn snuck a bite when I wasn't around...not Lulu.  

 

 
 
 I had to promise her an app for these photos...
 
 
 
 Boy, she is growing too fast. Her tops were not meant to be worn like that together. She dressed herself and probably thought this was a cute look...since we weren't going out I wanted to avoid a fight!
 she kept bugging me for that app and she was happy when I got it...and left her to play.

These are awesome pics! Hope you had a fab new years. Not sure how I feel about the new blog look though lol. I miss all the nifty gadgets and links on the sides.. :)

 

 

OMgosh Heaven...I am bored with the look of my blog and wanted to jazz it up some. And for some reason it won't add my side contents-ARGH. At first, it would not load the new design until the next day. So I am waiting to see if the rest will pop up after a day or two. If not I will go back to my old theme until I find one that will add everything. It will all come back soon!!!

great pictures and the cookies look delicious. kiela has grown up so fast. question: where do you get those kewl looking rolling pins?

Laura...I got that while we were in China!

 

Studio Calico Nov kit Napa Valley...

 I finally completed a couple lo's with this kit, yippie! I just feel like I never have enough time these days. Plus, the dentist has kept me busy-argh. I just have to make it through my third(and hopefully my last) step in getting a crown next week. Not having a good dentist while in China really hurt us all. I have never been through so much dental work, sigh!!

Ok, enough whining...this is my first two pages with this kit. I loved the letter stamps-which I mixed with an older SC set for the title. The girl silhouette stamp is also from SC, so is the butterfly stamp!

The loopy punch is from Martha Stewart.

They are also posted in the fab SC member gallery

 

some Studio Calico goodness...

I have had the new Studio Calico papers & stickers for a month. I started this first lo weeks ago and finished it yesterday-sigh. Love the new line-great colors & designs. I also used some Slice cards I just got this week to do the apples, snowflakes and some lettering on these projects.

Kiela page: Studio Calico papers(green pattern & circle pattern pp), journaling card under flower; MM Slice Fall/Back to School card(apples-aren't they cute?!); Martha Stewart double loop punch, lg butterfly punch, Flock powder for circles(i love that stuff); Prima flower

Snow Day lo: Studio Calico pps(green & yellow), journaling card, stickers, letter stamps; Making Memories Mistletoe card for snowflakes, Words & Expressions card for 'snow'
 My Snowman lo: Studio Calico pps (orange, green graph, orange floorplan),letter stickers , journaling card; Making Memories Mix & Mingle card for 'man' letters, Mistletoe card for lg snowflake; American Crafts Ginger letter stamps (my); I did the small snowflakes with a Martha Stewart punch & Maya Mist
 

   Ok, so I still had a few snow photos from LAST year to edit, lol. I finally did them, since I wanted to scrap photos that had Amira in them...and this year I have no snow photos with her(so far-fingers crossed;-). I totally forgot about the snowball fight!!!



 

 

Q & A ;-)...

see, i am doing better...with some Studio Calico

This weekend I played with some things from SC...I am a total SC stamp freak!! They have the coolest stamps. I thought I didn't care for the silhouette stamp-BUT i so LOVED it. I hope that you can enjoy some new stuff, I am trying to enjoy this grove I am finally in.

Most of the things I have used on each page is from Studio Calico(and their stamps-the number block, flower, butterfly, abc stamp, remember this, happy(apart of this month's kit), silhouette girl, letter stamps / letter stamps). Some stamps were limited editions.
