another little something i've been wanting to do

Late last night, I decided to do some more scrapping. Originally, I wanted to do a single photo layout with my favorite picture from Jackson's Orchard:




But, then I opened my freshly organized drawer (I'll show pictures of my more organized scrap room, soon), and a mini chipboard album by Maya Road popped out at me.

I remembered this mini that Tina had created with the Looking Glass kit from Studio Calico.




So, I used some of her ideas and created this:









Supplies: Patterned Paper (Sassafras); Chipboard Album and Girl (Maya Road); Bling (KaiserCraft); Stickers (Jenni Bowlin, Scenic Route); Stamps (Ali Edwards, Studio Calico); Paint (Making Memories Buttercup, unknown); Glossy Accents; Pen (American Crafts); Stamping Ink (Stampin Up! Night of Navy and Creamy Caramel)
Just a couple notes: To get the smooth edges on the chipboard, I used the Basic Grey File Set. Also, if you're still interested in the Ali Edwards' Today You stamps, there a few left in the add-on section at Studio Calico. We will be happy to ship them with your December kit if you'd like to secure them, just email us for details at info@studiocalico.com.

I'm sitting here smiling from ear to ear, remembering how much fun we had. I really wish that we had a picture of all of us sitting at the picnic table eating lunch! We have to take care of that next year!
