New Studio Calico kit on sale!

My shopping list this month:

• Crop Bags
• JBS Stick Candy Dye Ink
• More Gray
• More Kraft
• More Vanilla
• Tatting add-on #3
• Woodgrain Thickers - the exclusive American Crafts ones from Glee Club. I'm so happy about this purchase!
• Border Stickers - the exclusive Sassafras ones from Glee Club
• Calendar SMASH Pockets

That's it. So far... :D My middle name is Multiple check-outs. I'm considering some JBS Chewing Gum ink. I went back and forth with the December Daily add-on for the longest time, but then decided not to get it. It's just too pricey for me. I'll make my own. I need to put a dent in my stash anyways. I loved the stamps in add-ons 1 and 2, but I didn't like the rest of the enough to justify buying the entire kits. So that left room for lots of shop items instead. Yay! I'm so happy those woodgrain thickers were in the shop this month. They are amazing, and I'm all out of A's and N's.
So what did you get?

Awesome stamp set

This is a layout I made with the Field Guide kit from Studio Calico. It's about our walk home from daycare. I LOVE fridays! Even better than the weekend, because the weekend is actually ahead of you. I love getting off early from work and having all the time in the world to walk home. I took this funny photo of my son wearing my sunglasses, and placed myself so that I also caught my own reflection.

Materials: SC Field Guide kit, exclusive border stickers from SC Glee Club, and I wrote the journaling with this amazing stamp set I got on Etsy.

Cuuuutest owl hat and booties

Do you not loooove these??? I found them at Etsy. Together they are a bit prizey, but just the booties you could definately afford to give a newborn you know. How sweet! They have chicken and frogs feet too.

Right here!

What I got

• Folder SMASH Pockets
• Red & Blue SMASH Stickers
• Date SMASH Stamp
• Mist - Piglet
• Mist - Pony
• Fabrips - Yellow
• More Kraft
• 12x12 Modern Album - Chestnut
• 12x12 Page Protectors
• SC Patterned Paper
• Debate Team add-on
• Amy Tan Good Times Stickers
• Add-On Patterned Paper

Just a little something, right ;D So, tell me! What did YOU get? I'm most excited about the Amy Tan sticker book. This is it:

Also the SMASH date stamp, which I ordered from another site 2 months ago and still haven't gotten. :( I just got tired of waiting. Hopefully I can get a refund. It's seems a resonable demand after 2 months of waiting, don't you think?

I decided to get the Mr Huey's mist in Pony after seeing some of the layouts Jen Jockisch has made with it. Misting wood veneer decos with Pony makes them look amazing. Check here!

Crazy clogs

Check these out!!! SO beautiful, love em! A little expensive for me, tho. Maybe something to ask for for my b-day?

Sorting things out!

Here's how I continued my unpacking of the SC box. And yes, I AM an "ordningsdjävul" - a devil of order :D I like to keep things color coordinated and in piles of logic. I also find that kits in general does wonders for my creativity. I think it is having only so many products to choose from, rather than the infinite numbers of products in my drawers. Here's my embellishments pile:

And here are all the patterned papers laid out in a rainbow. And yes, I have cheated a little. I already owned some of the pp that was in the other add-ons that I didn't buy, so I laid those out as well.

And here are the papers I will use as the base of my layouts. I count nine of those, so I guess I will make 9 layouts from the SC kit this month.

This is a picture of all of the piles together. And no, I'm not this lucky! This isn't my scrap table. It's our dining room table. I guess we'll be eating in the kitchen for a while ;)

Closest to the camera are my photo envelope and my sketch book. Our new PC is arriving this afternoon. I'm hoping they've been able to make that back-up of all the files from our old PC that crashed last sunday.
Happy scrapping! /Magdalena

First kit has arrived!!!

I'm SO excited! My first Studio Calico kit ever just arrived. I was so excited to open the box my heart was racing and I had flutters in my stomach. I'm like a kid at X-mas :D Follow the reveal...

THE BOX! Slightly damaged, nothing broken...

The bags inside! I got the Raygun add-on. I SO wanted that filmstrip stamp from Countdown and the fantastic Smash tape from Stardust, but they were sold out. At least I can get the tape as soon as SC stocks up on it again.

The main kit. My favorite parts of this is that AMAZING diecut paper from OA, the red number paper from SC and those cute little yellow buttons. Still waiting for the SMASH products...

The Raygun add-on! Favorite parts are the number brads, the Return voyage pp from OA you see peeking out here and that tiny raygun stamp. I know exactly what photo to use the stamp with. 
NOW: The BAD news. Our PC crashed yesterday due to a thunder storm. Our new PC wont be delivered until Thursday, meaning I can't print any photos until Thursday at the earliest. Probably not until Friday, since most of Thursday night will mostly be installing and re-installing everything.

This is sending shivers down my spine. Gimme gimme gimme!
