Studio Calico sneaks

Since I was 13 and began writing notes in school, I've been spelling the southern word for "you" this way:

ya'll

I substituted the "ou" in "you" with an "a" and took the "ll" from "all" to form this widely used contraction.

Fast forward 16 years to my iPhone. Now, when I type texts with the informal word, it always corrects it this way:

y'all

Seems odd to me, but I can't imagine Apple getting it wrong. They even correct "iphone" to "iPhone".

Spelling is near and dear to my heart, so it's important that I get this correct.

In 2nd grade, I won the school-wide spelling bee with this word:

Pottery.
P-O-T-T-E-R-Y
Pottery.

Some unfortunate child had spelled it with an "a" and it was that same silly letter that cost me the county spelling bee in 8th grade with the word:

Martyr.
M-A-R-T-A-R.
Martyr.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Anyway, this brings me to my purpose of this post.

Y'all (or ya'll if you're a non-iphone speller), won't believe that I hit the trifecta of scrapbooking supplies twice with these layouts.

You see, I love these three things:

• Mist
• My old typewriter
• Stitching

But, until this month, I had never done all three on any one layout. And what do you know? I hit the trifecta twice this month!!!

This is one such layout that the trifecta can be seen. And, I typed on an angle no less. Proud of myself for that one :)
The products here can be found in the main kit, BAKER'S DOZEN. In the main kit, I've found a new love: Basic Grey micro mini stickers. So usable.

This layout is my favorite this month. And maybe of all time.

This layout uses product from the PETIT FOURS add-on and BAKER'S DOZEN main kit. I've been in love with the mini frames by American Crafts since they came out with their Letterbox line and I think I could happily use them for many years to come.
All products here are from the PETIT FOURS add-on kit. See these words on strips? I've already used the entire package. No, not on this one layout. But, yes, I've used the whole package, which is quite unusual for me.

This is my second favorite layout in the gallery this month. I had an epiphany while shuffling papers around to create little polaroid frames out of the pretty patterned papers in the main kit. Just you wait. This layout will knock your socks off.
