Lawn Party - Revealed.

Have you been to the gallery? It's rockin' with awesomeness from Studio Calico design team members, yours truly included. *cough cough* LOL.

A closer look at my layouts - which I really love. This is why I love my 'job' . . . you end up with layouts you adore with the whole of your heart. I'm a broken record, but . . yes, I think Studio Calico is the best kit club out there.

I got myself

HRH

close up

HRH = Hard Rock Hotel. You're probably sick of me going on and on, but I really love that place. Ha! I love that you can see some part of the Beetles mosaic at the background of the photo.

Yes, I stitched that white cardstock to make it look like a page from a notebook. Took me 3 hours, but only because I was watching TV at the same time. It's kinda hard to drool and swoon at my favorite actors and concentrate on stitching at the same time. Ha!

My first time using pinwheel on my layouts too. I'm a late-bloomer. LOL. Always, almost always 'behind' trend. :P

I stamped the NewsPrint Background stamp from Rope Swing using Brown Sugar then stamped and embossed the Numbers Border stamp with Wave Zing. I also used my Epiphany tool to make my own epoxy shapes. Misted the fabric thickers with BlueGrass Mister Huey.

I is sleepy.

Nidhi used to say I is.. I is.. I is. Took her a while to change to I am. I thought I'd remember that, and the 'babyness' of the photo just took my breath away. I miss my baby being baby!

Lightly misted the background with Bonny Blue Mister Huey and a couple drops of Lemonade because, to be honest, I wanted to play. LOL. This is probably my favorite page this month. I love how fun it looks! I stuck on a couple of Bubble Caps on the '5' flashcard, did you see that? And also embossed the Number borders stamp with Rogue Zing.

& just a note

Just something I 'borrowed' from StoryPeople. I got that in my daily email and I thought . . OMG, that's me. :) The 'or so I hope' part is mine, though.

Embossed the ampersand with Mustard Zing and really liking the look! I got the feeling that I'm gonna be a chipboard embossing fool soon. *grins*

the happiest you

This layout is a lift. Sweet Leah let me lift her layout for this month's member lift feature. Thank you Leah! You can see Leah's layout here.

Neha and Daddy, always the happiest when they're at the beach, digging through the rocks, bulding whatnots. In fact, we're the beach people I think. Try bringing my kids downtown during a weekend - and don't say I didn't warn you - you'll probably witness the meltdown of the year. LOL.

And again, you can see how pretty Bonny Blue is! I added some Barnwood for the lower circles too, yes, for fun. :) I used a lot of the Crate Paper Neighbourhood Sew brads - I thought they're so adorable!

Did you notice the doilies paper? The green chicken wire paper? Yup! SC Exclusive - designed by the oh-so-talented Kelly Purkey. Get yours here ➠ SC Patterned Paper.

Blossom inch said...

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous LOs babe. I am blown away seeing all of it and what a clean look layout you created. Thanks for sharing!

Sherri said...

Gor-geee-ous family Sasha. You, my dear look beautiful. And the girlies, oh so cute in that family pic. The first layout is my fave of this bunch, oh the talent girl. I've had some new Calico goodies sitting on my craft table all week with no time to play- boo for me (although, like you I enjoy my tv too and am currently watching Gray's Anatomy instead of scrapping, lol). Well, seeing as this is a "comment" section and not a "personal letter" section I should really stop typing now. Have a fabulous time in Malaysia with all your peeps, see you soon!

Diana said...

Breathtaking Sasha. I know I keep saying that but you're amazing!
And I love the family photo! Did you all colour coordinate it or did it just turn out that way?

Stephanie Howell said...

Lisa J said...

Wonderful layouts Sasha! I love the stitching ~ it was 3 hours well spent on the notebook paper look. I also really like the pinwheels. I have yet to try those on any of my layouts.

Coochies & All said...

I say this all the time but it's from the heart - I LOVE YOUR WORK!! You always make me wanna subscribe SC again (yes, I've stopped AGAIN due to low in cash). Hugs!
