Hi everyone! This month's Studio Calico kit, Glee Club, is packed full of AC and Amy Tan items and I loved every bit of it! Some of the highlights this month: There are some awesome Exclusive AC Woodgrain Thickers in the Main kit along with that super cute camera stamp. September's first add on, Pep Squad, has the new Amy Tan for AC Thickers that are the perfect color green. The second add-on, Debate Team, has some awesome Pink Paislee Ephemera and another awesome stamp. Home Ec, the 3rd add-on, has Exclusive Amy Tan tags as well as some Pink Paislee mistable trims. And the 4th add-on, Thespians, is PERFECT for Halloween, and also has some items that are super versatile and can be used for any type of scrapbook page. The banner stamp in that add-on is my favorite one this month!
Here's a shopping list this month:
- Add on 1
- Add on 2
- Add on 3
- Add on 4 (Yes! All four!)
- More Color (this is becoming a staple with my orders)
- More White
- Basic Grey Formula Stamp
- Easy Stamp Press (if you're stamp challenged like me:)
- Glue Glider Pro Refills
- Pebbles Dimensional Butterflies
- EK Success Heart Layering punch
- EK Success Flourish Square Layering Punch (My punches won't come until next month but I can't wait! I'm sure they won't last in the shop that long.:)
- Red Smash Folio (for Ayla - she'll love having her own doodle book! I wanted to get her pink but it's sold out)
I used my Silhouette to cut the lettered background, I just used a blank document and typed in all the letters. I added some BG buttons from add on 2 and then used my white Uniball pen to outline most of the elements. The chipboard bird from add on 2 was misted with my 2nd favorite mist of all time, I embossed the stamp (also from add on 2) with
Created with Main kit, add on 1, add on 2, Grapefruit Zing, Bonny Blue Mister Huey, White Uniball Signo, Honeybee scissors (for the detailed cutting)
Lots of paper strips on this on, and pieces from every single kit for this page. I again used the Bonny Blue Mister Huey to mist the chipboard bird, Piglet Mister Huey for the button (a LOT of it to get the dark shade that I wanted) and black Zing for the camera stamp.

This is my friend Lorie, who some of you may know as one of the behind-the-scenes superwomen at Studio Calico. I adore her and wished she lived closer, I know we'd be bff's. I used foam adhesive to twirl the paper strip, and then used April's technique for the confetti.

This is a shot of the entire SC Crew that was at CHA this summer. I love all these girls and I'm so proud to call them friends.
