The main reason I have been away is due to one word - Pregnancy! I am pregnant with #3 and this one has caused me to be very sick. I am FINALLY feeling a little better now that I am 18 weeks, I hope it keeps up!<br />
<br />
Anyways, the card I am sharing is for <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/?p=2670" target="_blank">The Greeting Farm - Farm Fresh Friday Challenge - Get Wordy</a>. The challenge is to use an image from <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/" target="_blank">The Greeting Farm </a>and use a sentiment or words somewhere on the card. Here is my card:<br />

I used an image from the <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/shop/index.php/stamps/anya-ian/miss-anya-scarves.html" target="_blank">Miss Anya Scarves</a> stamp set and colored it with Copic markers. The paper and sentiments I used are from Studio Calico kits. The big snowflakes were cut with my Silhouette Cameo and the small sequins snow flakes are from Lawn Fawn.</div>

I just started subbing this month and just got the main kit - There is a lot in this kit! I made 5 layouts with mostly the kit and also made a Project Life spread and a card. I may show the PL page later but the card was basically a copy of one of the DT cards so don't really feel as though I should share :) - you can see the CT card (by Joy Taylor) <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/gossamerblue.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=2869&c=41" target="_blank">HERE</a>. I still have quite a few items left in the kit. I may make a few more cards or layouts or just break it up and add it to my stash - I haven't decided just yet :)<br />
<br />
Here are my five layouts posted in the order I made them- I have included below items added from my stash:<br />

I ended up scrapbooking a picture of me and my sweet NEW nephew, Asher. Here it is:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I have to admit, I procrastinated this challenge as looking at all those colors kind of intimidated me, but then I began to just focus on a few and it got a lot easier! For my layout, I pulled together papers using four of the colors and went from there. The colors I used were Misted Yellow, Royal Blue, Aluminum and Aurora Red - the tags also have a little bit of Cognac. I flipped parts of the sketch and made an 8 1/2 x 11 layout instead of the 12 x 12 in the sketch. I added sewing and a few embellishments and called it done!</span><br />
<br />
Here is the sketch and the color challenge that goes along with it:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">For this challenge, I scrapped a picture of my cute (yet serious) niece. The elements I added are from the "B" Column on the Bingo card, which are as follows: Stick Pin - Yellow Flower pin; Rhinestones - black and clear; Arrow - red and grey chipboard; Polka dot paper - Yellow with white polka dots; and Journal card - Grey card at the top cut down and used for journaling. This was a fun challenge and got to use a lot of stash items on this page!</span></div>

The layout uses paper and supplies from various <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/" target="_blank">Studio Calico</a> kits.<br />

Let's just say that September has been tough! My busiest time at work is August - October 15th and Brian is in the middle of football so basically we are purely in survival mode around here! Mid-October cannot come soon enough for me! <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Scrap Our Stash </a>challenge I am sharing is over and a new challenge is up but nonetheless, I thought I would share my layout and the sketch. I loved this sketch as it was not one that was something I would think to use but ended up really liking my layout. So here is the sketch and my layout:</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">This was one of my favorite sketches yet, and I loved how it worked with my pictures! For my A-B-C stash items, I used an ampersand embellishment, brads, and chipboard heart and stars. I have not used a brad in a long time so glad this challenge got me to dig in my stash!</span></div>

I ended up "killing" three different kits - Double Scoop, Valley High and Sandlot. I really enjoyed challenging myself to use up my kits so I have decided to keep going into September. Today, I am sharing the layouts I have made with <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/penny-arcade" target="_blank">Penny Arcade</a> so far. I ended up buying quite a bit of extras with Penny Arcade - so it may take a bit to "kill". I added in my PL and card embellishments with my scrapbook kits but my main goal is to use up the papers in my scrap kit and a good amount of the embellishments. You will also notice that I add items from my stash, as well.<br />
<br />
Here are the 5 layouts I have made so far:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrOag1YWoi6Ndl_97L_EUDvA20bydC8y471-KP8ulGXkJj6brn5wNeeoto_lX7exQnnQXXForIkmjgpYoETPxrFMVSHzpL60MqktN0q8w5cT7nQ-yXp_nHAQd4A0XdVQrO4RvYMdPow8/s1600/IMG_3497.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrOag1YWoi6Ndl_97L_EUDvA20bydC8y471-KP8ulGXkJj6brn5wNeeoto_lX7exQnnQXXForIkmjgpYoETPxrFMVSHzpL60MqktN0q8w5cT7nQ-yXp_nHAQd4A0XdVQrO4RvYMdPow8/s1600/IMG_3497.JPG" height="400" width="313" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this layout, I placed the transparency triangles from the kit on a pink part of one of the patterned papers, cut around it and then sewed the transparency to the paper.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hand cut the "SILLY" title on this layout and then used my sewing machine to stitch down the letters.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEt8kggDn7mjUKjqtQhM1_Uiy1XkeyFJ1Gop_cbsBlYKsJ1kkBQoVsqGIcJ5Slw5v0-_8ZRVNKu9oC-34XVgwnnfjS0ghiL8xdpe8YHaU9diz13wxRHE8TTYXrd0fRHf0GZxhBE4_vZLE/s1600/IMG_3522.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEt8kggDn7mjUKjqtQhM1_Uiy1XkeyFJ1Gop_cbsBlYKsJ1kkBQoVsqGIcJ5Slw5v0-_8ZRVNKu9oC-34XVgwnnfjS0ghiL8xdpe8YHaU9diz13wxRHE8TTYXrd0fRHf0GZxhBE4_vZLE/s1600/IMG_3522.JPG" height="400" width="305" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">For this layout, I used the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/blog/2014/8/24/sunday-sketch-amanda" target="_blank">Studio Calico Sunday Sketch</a> and lifted quite a bit from <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/131742-paint" target="_blank">Marcy Penner's Paint layout</a> that was used for the sketch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Xg4ppW1yOKqfvEH36v-qwSZjW17dCebvpu0MjtMxseUuyv3fZqXFIdQLN86i41rNIGOYTo1hf8McFHXlBUcst5ORtMkoAK_LcxSIcN-QeH0dMQM7Jiizejr08_CCkWGpRGMCCDT5W6E/s1600/IMG_3573.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Xg4ppW1yOKqfvEH36v-qwSZjW17dCebvpu0MjtMxseUuyv3fZqXFIdQLN86i41rNIGOYTo1hf8McFHXlBUcst5ORtMkoAK_LcxSIcN-QeH0dMQM7Jiizejr08_CCkWGpRGMCCDT5W6E/s1600/IMG_3573.JPG" height="400" width="312" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not done a large photo on a layout in awhile and had a couple of cute pictures of the boys so decided to do some large photo layouts. This one is off Max. I kept it fairly simple. The journaling is printed on vellum and then stitched down with my sewing machine.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSB4PeIzuMb4KIKGQo-cTapG37mRNXIfIogdKzYf9I4mPIjo9PndT_XTSmqiaVzrrDSiKU0lxw5eBFYygC3l0ro63SvOjgSsv2O7hRqDVdVpSR_ffOfEBDB7RQeb_0bB4WrSLF-ZiPGk/s1600/IMG_3572.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSB4PeIzuMb4KIKGQo-cTapG37mRNXIfIogdKzYf9I4mPIjo9PndT_XTSmqiaVzrrDSiKU0lxw5eBFYygC3l0ro63SvOjgSsv2O7hRqDVdVpSR_ffOfEBDB7RQeb_0bB4WrSLF-ZiPGk/s1600/IMG_3572.JPG" height="320" width="249" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is of Eli. Again, I kept it fairly simple. I inked the wood veneer letters with a prima chalk edger before adhering them to the layout.</div>
<br />
Well, that is all for now. I will update as I complete more layouts.<br />

This one was definitely tough for me as the Challenge is to use older stash. Here is the challenge:<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Complete a layout inspired by the sketch above...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b>AND</b>...75% of the product used to create your page must be from some of your <b>OLDEST</b> stash of paper and embellishments..the older the better.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<b>You must note in your write up, what products you used from your older stash!</b></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">I have de-stashed a lot of my older stash of products, so it took me a little bit to figure out my oldest products. I went through some of my paper and found some American Crafts "Play" paper, and this has to be some of my oldest. I also added in some felt flowers and letters stickers from American Crafts. There are a few "newer" embellishments added in, but most of this is definitely old!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">For this challenge, I used a selfie I took of me and my son, Max. Instead of using the frame to go around the picture, I used it to frame the title. The supplies are mainly from Crate Paper by Maggie Holmes and an older Studio Calico kit - Valley High. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">For my layout, I used a picture of my son blowing bubbles. He thinks he is so big now that he can blow bubbles by himself...well, when he is not spilling them! For my ribbon or trim, I added a ribbon in the shape of a banner to the right side of the photo. For my supplies, I started with an older Studio Calico kit - Double Scoop and then added various items from my stash. </span></div>

I decided to start with <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/double-scoop-scrapbook-kit" target="_blank">Double Scoop</a> which is the kit from last September. My goal was to use up what I had left of the kit. I had made two previous layouts (that I could find!) using the kit. They are <a href="http://meganlianesblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/sc-lifted-class-lesson-4.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and <a href="http://meganlianesblog.blogspot.com/2013/11/sc-lifted-class-lesson-3.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Besides the kit, I added in some paper from my stash that was in some of the add-ons (or similar) and embellishments from my stash. Also, I did take out the frames from the kit and purge those - They just are not something I wanted to use so didn't force myself. Here are my projects: (Also, sorry the pictures are not the best ever but easier to just take with my iPhone :)!)<br />

I also made one other layout that is for my Scrap Our Stash sketch challenge this month so I will be posting that on Sunday. Here is what I have left of the main kit:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My next kit is going to be <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/valley-high-scrapbook-kit" target="_blank">Valley High</a>. I got the Valley High kit in the Black Friday sale at Studio Calico, so I don't think I have touched it at all. Have you "killed" any kits lately? If so, I would love to see! Thanks for stopping by!</div>

I honestly think I could find some way to use every single stamp set they have - though I have limited myself to just a few sets! My all time favorite set is the <a href="http://mamaelephant.com/collections/animals/products/up-and-away">Up and Away stamp set</a> (and I used it on my layout below). It is super cute and so versatile!<br />
<br />
Mama Elephant has just started a new challenge blog called <a href="http://mamaelephantandme.blogspot.com/">Mama Elephant and Me</a> and <a href="http://mamaelephantandme.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-new-challenge.html">their first challenge</a> is to create a project using a Mama Elephant stamp that is inspired by the following image:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQoZRP4-Fs3IFTjKNx2eNbbXqEDS1-xHxdrkaTmUtrR3P-MLwgeCge3MVrfFAEHGSt3nir0KBXk-6aHqkMFc6bO0y5xT5E6EhBpCateO8zXRy4ZJSfQNDVYNWhKt1tr6kjfYVF1n7I7o/s1600/July+2014.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQoZRP4-Fs3IFTjKNx2eNbbXqEDS1-xHxdrkaTmUtrR3P-MLwgeCge3MVrfFAEHGSt3nir0KBXk-6aHqkMFc6bO0y5xT5E6EhBpCateO8zXRy4ZJSfQNDVYNWhKt1tr6kjfYVF1n7I7o/s1600/July+2014.png" height="320" width="215" /></a></div>
<br />
I decided to make a birthday layout for the challenge. I don't normally stamp too much on my layouts so this was a "double" challenge for me. I used the Mama Elephant <a href="http://mamaelephant.com/collections/animals/products/up-and-away">Up and Away Stamp Set </a>and the <a href="http://mamaelephant.com/collections/celebrations/products/make-a-wish">Wake A Wish Stamp Set</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUk7w2TETYbbC50xIOWCNsTQOzCl0DH56iRiN9jRBVT2qzGoSeiFsDXTdgk9Kkqyc1QjyTImtY3g9I0RGIDtrJHlfYF8STN8q1pP2MXetvsLK4XgqbgcXBLtjrXYeZJf-BqQRX9tRMXCM/s1600/Jul+20+2014_4983-edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUk7w2TETYbbC50xIOWCNsTQOzCl0DH56iRiN9jRBVT2qzGoSeiFsDXTdgk9Kkqyc1QjyTImtY3g9I0RGIDtrJHlfYF8STN8q1pP2MXetvsLK4XgqbgcXBLtjrXYeZJf-BqQRX9tRMXCM/s1600/Jul+20+2014_4983-edited.jpg" height="400" width="311" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the title block, I first stamped the Monkey and Balloons from the <a href="http://mamaelephant.com/collections/animals/products/up-and-away">Up and Away Stamp Set </a>and colored the images with Copic Markers. I then stamped the "Go and Celebrate" sentiment from the <a href="http://mamaelephant.com/collections/celebrations/products/make-a-wish">Make A Wish Stamp Set</a> on vellum with VersaMark ink and then embossed it with white embossing powder. I layered the vellum over my image. The rest of the layout came together fairly quickly using various items in my stash in the light blue, orange, green and yellow color scheme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope this inspires you to use some stamps on your layout. Thanks for stopping by!</div>

I am never one to limit myself only to the kit contents, so you will definitely see items from other Studio Calico kits and other items from my stash in my layouts.<br />

This layout really shows the bright colors from the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/hello-hello-scrapbook-kit">Hello, Hello kits</a>. I "toned down" the bright background paper a bit by adding vellum over the top of most of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This kit is definitely VERY far from being "killed" (i.e. used up) as I bought quite a few add-ons this month and got the wrong one sent to me (which SC made right so I got an extra kit). My kits are starting to pile up so I plan to stick to the two main kits I now get (scrapbook and PL) for awhile until I use up some of my stash. There is a <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/community/studio-chat/topics/71851-operation-kill-my-kits-has-started">thread over at Studio Calico on "killing kits"</a> so feel free to join us if you have some kits to "kill".</div>

The challenge is as follows:<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
From the shopping list below, shop for <b>(5 or more)</b> different items in your stash. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
Create a layout and include those (5) items on your page. Each item will only count as one, for example: a wood veneer polaroid frame will only count as a frame or as wood veneer, you decide. If you choose arrows you must use (3) but it only counts as 1 of the 5 items on the list. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
*Make sure you include in your blog write up the (5) items you used, to be eligible for the monthly prize drawing. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">For this challenge, I scrapped a picture I took from our vacation this summer at the beach. The stash items I used - which ended up being more than 5 - were striped paper, 3 arrows, cork embellishment, journal card, flair, tags, and die cuts. I also was able to use some of my new Studio Calico Hello, Hello kit and a Gossamer Blue kit I bought last summer for this challenge. I love when I can combine "older" with new! </span></div>

The Challenge is to create a layout using the sketch below and you must include enamel dots or sequins AND 2 different types of alphas. In addition, SOS is teaming up with the <a href="http://childsplaychallenges.blogspot.com/2014/06/classic-craft-challengetie-dye.html" target="_blank">Child's Play and their Tie Dye Inspiration Challenge</a>, so there is an extra challenge to combine the SOS challenge with the Child's Play Challenge.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">For this layout, I scrapped a picture of my son, Max in our "backyard" pool. Even though it is small, he has a lot of fun in it! I followed the sketch fairly close but did only use one photo. I was inspired by the Tie-Dye Challenge to make my own background. I used some Sixxiz circle dies and a Versamark pen to draw the circles on white cardstock. I then embossed them with white embossing powder. </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">After embossing, I sprayed the background with three different Mr. Huey mist colors. To keep the circles white, I wiped the mist off with a baby wipe. I used vellum for the strips going from the top - down on the layout so the background would still be visible. I used two enamel dots in dark pink and used green thickers for "Pool" and small green block letter stickers for "Max".</span></div>

For my background, I adhered a white doily with temporary adhesive to use as a mask. I took my <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/servlet/the-23488/Ranger-Ink-Blending-Tool%2C/Detail" target="_blank">Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool </a> and "stamped" blue circles around the doily and the entire card.

I used an image from the <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/shop/rubber-stamps/anya-ian/miss-anya-summer.html" target="_blank">Miss Anya Summer</a> stamp set. I really like how it turned out.<br />

The kit is very bright and fun and perfect for beach photos, so I scrapped one of Max from our recent trip to the beach. I also used it to scrap some pool photos of Eli and just pulled out the blues, greens and yellows so it can be "toned down" as well. (I hope to share that one soon but need to block out some other kids' faces.) Here is my beach layout:<br />

Even though you cannot tell from my blog, I have actually been scrapping a lot of layouts this year. I try and keep track and this was my 52nd layout! That does not include project life or cards. I try and share what I can but probably my least favorite thing is actually taking pictures of layouts and editing them.<br />

I think the last time was when I was in junior high or high school and like to color Precious Moments coloring books with them! My mom bought my brother and I these pencils in junior high when we needed them for art class. We begged her to get us the "big" set of 48 and promised we would share. I remember standing there in the office supply store and her contemplating what to do. She did cave and got us the 48 pencil set, which was quite a bit of money at the time to spend on colored pencils! Well, I made sure to tell her not too long ago that she made a great investment because I still have them today...and occassionally use them on scrapbook page titles and now images!<br />
<br />
The card I made for the challenge uses a stamp from <a href="http://thegreetingfarm.com/shop/rubber-stamps/anya-ian/miss-anya-summer.html" target="_blank">The Greeting Farm set - Miss Anya Summer</a>. This is such a cute set and fun to color! Here is my card:<br />

For the title, I cut "that" with my Silhouette Cameo and used some older K & Company chipboard letters for "face". The chipboard was a lighter blue, so I used some prima chalk ink to darken the letters. My five different stash items used were 1 washi tape (navy polka dot), 2 chipboard shapes (heart & geotag), 3 puffy stickers (star & small dots), 1 flag clip (navy) and 1 label sticker.</span></i><br />

Today, I am sharing a card I made for <a href="http://arandomfandt.blogspot.com/2014/06/challenge-10-lets-polka-dot.html" target="_blank">Challenge #10 Let's Polka</a> at <a href="http://arandomfandt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Random Fan</a>. I have been coloring a lot with my <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/servlet/the-COPIC-Corner-cln-Individual-Markers/Categories" target="_blank">Copic markers</a> lately and wanted to make a card for my dad for Father's Day using an image I could color. I googled "digital stamps golfer" (as my dad is an avid golfer) to see if I could find one and came across <a href="http://arandomfandt.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Random Fan</a>. The images are super cute, and I love that she has quite a few boy images as they seem harder to come by! Anyways, I found my way to their challenge blog and decided to color the A Random Fan image - <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/163079662/digital-stamps-little-golfer?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Digital Stamp - Little Golfer</a> from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ARandomFan?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">her Etsy shop</a> and link it to the challenge.

I thought I would print out some of the papers, which I have done in the past with digital kits. However, I ended up making a quick layout and liked how it turned out. I don't think I will be converting to solely digital anytime soon as I am on the computer way too much as it is but it was fun to mix it up. Here is the layout I created:<br />

In addition to the layout, I used the journal cards and some of the elements as printables to document our vacation from last year in Project Life. I will try and share that soon!<br />

For my title, I laid out Heidi Swapp letter masks (that have been in my stash for quite awhile!) and colored over the letters with an ink dauber. I also used a circle star mask on three spots on my layout. I sprayed over the masks with Mr. Huey in Shell. After making the background, I added in my column of pictures, added my journaling and a few embellishments. A lot of the items came from the Studio Calico May kit.</span></i></div>
