Studio Calico's February Kit
It's that time of month..I get to share a few layouts with you using Studio Calico's February kit, "Sherwood Forest". I actually finished these layouts a week or two ago, but as always, I have to wait for their final debut at the "Studio" before sharing them with you here. You've already seen some close-ups, but not the layouts themselves. Take a peek below:
The "Sherwood Forest" kit has sold out. No surprise. The place has been hoppen' lately as new member's sign up for subscriptions at the speed of light. The kits are always beautiful. Scarlet and April have really great taste and a good sense of style for combining product. Their vision is fresh and sophisticated. The website itself is like shopping for scrapbook supplies at the Pottery Barn. The gallery is always inspiring and the community is inviting and warm. I love designing for this kit club. I won't forget to mention the cute kraft packaging and Studio Calico printed boxes that are used to ship kits to their customers- every detail is fine tuned and hand tailored, including the kits themselves.
It's a Monday. My day pretty much started at the local post office with a missing box. I left the item I was suppose to mail out on my garage bench. Mrs. Clueless forgot to grab it (that would be me) before driving out of the garage. Go figure. Ethan and I visited my mom in the afternoon, but could only stay a short while because she had a meeting with a business friend. We ended up trekking back home after having made little progress on anything. Ethan took his afternoon nap and his uncle, Peter, came over to visit for an hour or so once the nap was over. I also took a nap. It was soooo wonderful :) I haven't been sleeping very well at night. New bed. New room. Highway outside my window along with a horn loven' train station. Not exactly ideal sleeping conditions. It's going to take some time to get used to the changes. After Peter left, we went back to my parent's place and hung out for a few hours. Ethan and I filled up on some Swedish Pancakes during our visit. By the time we got home, 6:30 had already rolled around. I gave Ethan his bath and put him to bed. It was a fairly uneventful day, though I did receive some special photos in the mail from Krysten Halek (a good friend of mine who also happens to be a very talented photographer). They were the last photos taken of "our family" (Ethan, Eric, and myself) before Eric died. They were taken a month before Eric passed away. I purchased 3 large 8.5" x 11" pics to hang on my wall in my scrap room. They're beautiful and with permission, I will try to post some of these pics at my blog in the near future. That was truly the highlight of my day. Thank you Krysten!
I have been contemplating purchasing Photoshop CS3. I still need to do further research on pricing..is it the same price no matter where you purchase the software? I need some advice here..if any of you have experience purchasing Photoshop CS or CS3, send some info my way. Thanks!
Till tomorrow, take care.
