Welcome to the Studio Calico blog hop.
We're celebrating State Fair and Countryside being added to the online shop. Most of you have had the opportunity now to purchase it from your local scrapbook store or favorite online retailer, and now we're happy to provide some additional inspiration.
A fun layout I made using an old photo from my trip to Texas before Claire was born. This was the trip my feet swelled so big and never went down....well, they went down about a week after her birth, but it seemed like forEVER.
And, just a quick tutorial for creating those open scalloped circles.
Choose 2 circle punches, one slightly larger than the other.Punch the smaller first.
Then, turn the larger upside down and center over the window.
To glue, I used the Martha Stewart glue pen and one of the punched circles as a guide.Circle punches are some of my favorite tools, but one of my favorite items on this layout is the Heart Veneer, which I will give to one of my blog readers. To win, simply leave a comment here letting me know what you call your grandma. Winner will be posted on April 18.
Your next stop....the amazing Celine Navarro.
And if you lose your way, you can always use the designer links to the left on my blog or on the SC blog (to the right).

My grandmother was very proper, so we all had to call her Grandmother. I tried calling her Grandma once...and only once. :)
Gorgeous layout April. I call my Grandma - Nanny
I call both of my grandma's, "Grandma" I'm lucky to be in my 30's and still have them both! Love them!
not my grandmother but rather my husband's grandmother and my daughters' great grandmother. we call her "bunny."
she had given our oldest a handful of stuffed bunnies through her first year that i called her grandma bunny when trying to tell who i was speaking of and it just stuck. now our entire extended family calls her that. :)
Now that I have kids, she is called GG for Great Grandma. She loves it.
I called her Gammy and my kids call my mom Grammy. I still miss her even though she died when I was 14. I can still see her clear as day.
I call my grandma is from El Salvador so I call her "abuelita"! what a great layout!
Beautiful layout, April! I love what you did with the scalloped circles.
I call my grandmother on my mom's side "Po Po" (think that's how you spell it.. it's Cantonese :) ).
my grandma's nickname is "Yita" which was what my brother started calling her because he couldn't say "abuelita".
Never got to meet either of my grandmothers, but I am sure that I would have called them Grandmama since that was what my mom liked to be called. Thank you for the chance to win the hearts- my stash is very low on those!
To me my Grandmother was always Nan or Nana. Love love this page!
I always called my grandmother gramma. She was the best!!! Great page, love the circles, I seem to have to put them on all my pages in some form! thanks for the chance to win!

my grandmothers: mimi and marmie.

Wonderful page! I, too, love the veneer hearts. I have a Grandma and Gramie. I love them both dearly!
Love that look.
I haven't got any grandmothers left, which makes me tearful everytime i think about it. I used to call them Nan and Ilse, but my kids now call my Mum, Nana, and my my MIL Bibi.
I have a Grandma and a Grannie. Love the circles!
love this layout! my grandma had a stroke last month, and i am really treasuring my memories and photos with her. the wood veneer is perfect here too. :]
My grandmas both passed away before I was born, but my son calls his grandma "Ama" - he couldn't say the whole word, and it just stuck. Apparently in Korean, that's what they call grandma anyway :)
She was my sweet "Nana".
what a sweet layout! thanks for the chance to win, april :)
I call my grandmother Grandma! Or Gailsie (the knickname her mother gave her)!

I call my grandmother a more colloquial version of the Chinese phrase for "grandmother."

Unfortuntely both of my Grandmas have been gone a long time and both were just called Grandma.

I called my grandma, grandma. My son calls my mom, Obarchun. That's grandma in Japanese:)
I am loving the new stuff...I call my grandma, grandma. But as a little joke every now and then I will call her Ilene(her sister). Only becasue she always mistakenly calls me Virginia(her daughter, my aunt) I guess we look alike!
Both my Grandma's were just plain old Grandma :) Lovely layout.
I had Grandmom and Omi. Grandmom was a laid back, Midwestern lovely. Omi was German, and a very proper and formal German at that. :)
I love how you used the scalloped circles! My grandma is just grandma!
I called my grandma on my mom's side "lola" ( Filipino word for grandma) and on my dad's side i called her "grandma"...

My Grandma was "Grams" to me and my brother. Though my cousins had a different name for her. :)
Lovely layout!
My grandma is still in Germany, where she is from, so I call her Oma.
Great LO!! When I was little I called my grandma "grandma" but once my girls were born we started calling her "Gigi"

I love the scalloped circles! Beautiful layout too!
Love those scallop circles! Thanks for the instructions. Love those veneer hearts too, would love to win them.
I call my grandma Ömmachen (it´s german).
I always called my grandma simply grandma, but it came with warm smiles and reverence that few others get simply just because of who they are...
we called my grandma, abuelita. she's no longer with us, but always in my heart! xoxo
I currently have a MeeMaw and a MawMaw, and have had several "Grandma's", a Gram, Pockey (don't ask), a MaMee, and a Granny in my past. Lots of wonderful Ladies have come before me in my family.
My kids have Gam, Mimi, Nana, MeeMaw and MawMaw :)
I have a grandma Shirley and a grandma LaVina. That is what we called them! ha Loved your layout, April!

You'll be so glad for that picture and that page. My grandma that I got to love the longest we called "Gara."
This layout is so simple and gorgeous! Love how you did the circles! I call my grandma's "grandma" and then their first name. I was fortunate to have even a great grandma through college.
I call mine Granny, but never to her face!
I have a Nanny & a Gramma. Thanks for the chance to win!!
I love circle punches too! And I lost both of my grandmas before I was ten and all I remember ever calling them was grandma. But while I had them they taught me how to cook, crochet, knit and laugh.
I call my grandma granny. My kids call my mom that too!
Called both of them "Grandmother." I think I want to be "grandma" when the time comes, though. Most of the cards in Hallmark say that these days!
I don't have a grandma living anymore. My Mammaw passed away exactly one week before I had my ODD. My other Nanny passed when I was 5 but thanks for sharing. Love the layout and those hearts.

Just plain old Grandma... when I was younger and both of my Grandmas were alive. I called my Dad's Mom Grandma Poopsie after her dog.
i call my sweet little grandmother, nanny :)
Well sad to say my grandmothers don't live here(both are in Dominican Republic) so I didn't grow around them but my kids love their grandmothers- They call my MIL-grandma & they call my mom - Mamita :) Love those circles & scallops super sweet! I have to try that.
I call Grandma as well but I also would call her the greatest inspiration in my life.
My mom's mom is:Ama, and my dad's is: Abuela funny how it wasn't the same I guess it was b/c of the affection :|
so cute! i feel lucky to still have my 85 year old ahpo around.
Love your LO and the tutorial! I called my grandmas "vó", in Portuguese! :)
my Dad's mom was simply Dot, short for Dorothy. <3
Love the LO and the tut! I called my grandmas "Babushka" =)
I prefer to call my grandma simply "GRAM". Thanks! Great giveaway!
I had a Grandma and a Nan. They both died in 2010, which sux, they lived long and eventful lives, they were strong women who loved their men and children. miss them, love them.
Love how you punched the circles!
both of my grandmothers were known simply as 'grandma' I learned a lot from both of them! :)
"mummo" (Finnish for grandmother)
Benessi
I call both my grandmas, grandma. My kids call my mom Nana.
You are a genius! I have a bunch of scalloped circles sitting on my desk (used the insides for a different project) and here you post the perfect thing!
My mom is grandma; dh's mom is granny. I like GG or something a little fun and different.
Love the layout, the circles are genius! When we were little we called her Grandma Cream, and as we got older and realized her name was really Corrine, we started calling her Grandma J (for Jensen) and now my son calls her GG, that is the name she picked for herself when I was pregnant with my son, he was her first great-grandchild, it has stuck and we all call her GG now. Love her so much!
My granny has been gone for quite some time now, but she has left a lasting impression on me and many amazing memories from my childhood.
My Grandma was Nana, I've missed her for 21 years now but I know she is watching over me :)
GORGEOUS LO and I love those circles!! Will definately have to try that, need to buy the punches first though...lol
I'm french, I call my grand mother "Mamie" and my son is born in Corsica, he calls my husband's mother "Mamo". I Love your page.
We called my grandma "granny". She passed away over twenty years ago and I still miss her dearly. She was the sweetest woman...EVER. The hearts are adorable and I love your layout.
We called my grandmother, Granny White-her last name was White. She passed away many years ago, and we have since referred to her as Martha Stewart. She was amazing!
I called my grandmothers "mormor" (on my mother's side) - Swedish for mothers' mother and "farmor" (on my dad's side)- father's mother. They are both gone and I miss them dearly!
Great Layout... love what you have done using the circle punch.
Awesome layout.
I call both my Grandmother's "Nanny" - people used to think I had two nannies at home to take care of me and my siblings :)
love your page.. I call my grandma, 'oma'... =)
My grandma is called Nanny. I also call my grandmother in law Gran.
We call our Grandma... Grandma Doc. Not because there is a dr. in the family, but because my Grandpa Doc would always greet us with a, 'Hello Doc'! :) -The phrase sorta stuck. We've called them that as long as I can remember.
Nanny - she wanted to be called "Granny" but I couldn't say my "gr" sounds. So...Nanny is what I could say! It's stuck through all the other grandkids and now my son.
Or if I'm talking to my mom, she's the "Nanninator" - don't tell Nanny! HAHAHA
I never knew my Grandma on my Dad's side, but on my Mom's side - everyone called her Nanny.
I never really knew either of my grandmothers, but I would have called her "lola" which means grandmother in Tagalog.
I call (and called) both my grandmothers, Mam-ma.
My dad's side I called my grandma Dadima and mom's side I called my grandma Sasima( her name was Saraswati so 'sasi' in short & 'ma' means mother in hindi)
love your lo of your grandma :)
Beuatiful page April. Love those punched circles! I called my grandma "Grandma" :)
Beautiful layout!! I call her Gma and Grandma.
Grandma. Pretty common I guess.
Thanks for the tips with the circles. I called one Grandma and the other mawmaw.
beautiful layout. My grandmothers were just Grandma :).
sadly i lost them in my early 20s...but i called both lovely women, grandma.
thanks for the chance + the fun 'hop'!
Love the idea for the circles! and even better was how you used a punched circle as a guide for the glue line!
I wasn't close to either of my biological grandmas - my great aunts Rosanna & LaVone were my "grandmas" growing up.
I just love Grandma pictures...They are always a hugh part of our lives. I miss my grandma. Great page thanks for sharing
I am loving what you did with those circles!!! My grandmother's have been gone for a while now..used to call them Grandma Ruth & Grandma Grogan. My girl's now call their grandmas: Grandma Maureen, Grandma JoAnn and Grannie Annie.
Love your inspiration page. It looks so peacefull ! I have a very close relationship with my grandmother too - sometime I feel like she is my best friend and this is something amazing. I feel very lucky about it.
I love those hearts! Your layout is beautiful. I called my grandma, Abuela, which is grandma in spanish. If I needed something and I wanted to butter her up I'd call her abuelita in the sweetest voice I could muster but she never fell for it! =)
I called my grandma..grandma..and I miss her so much.
I call both my grandmas "Grandma", but when they're both in the same room, I call them Grandma Carole and Grandma Marv.
i only really knew my mom's parents, who were from eastern europe. i called her "babchi".
Nana, was what I called my Grandma. Miss her greatly!
We called her Grandma. She was adorable and always had gum for us in her pockets. My kids call my mother "Bop" isn't that awful? My daughter started it as a baby- no idea why!
Always called my grandmas, Grandma LastName, though one of those names is a little tough to say and usually ended as a variation of Grandma Spit or worse...
One grandma we call gram-cracker. She loves it! :)
Thanks for the chance to win!
My Grandma would have been 95 today.
One was Grandma and the other was Nanna.
Thanks for the chance to enter - I LOVE those hearts!
Love those heart veneers!! We call my grandma's Nanny and Mimi! :) Thanks for the chance to win!
Mine was called "Grandma" She's been gone for about 9 years, but how I miss her eyes. When she would smile you could see her eyes and heart smile too. Such a wonderful lady.
I am so scraplifing the scalloped circles! Love it! :)
we always called my grandma, "grandma" simple as that - she was so loving!
what a great idea with the circles thanks so much for sharing!
My daughter and I were just discussing this question yesterday as I have just become a grandma and she was wondering what I wanted to be called. We decided on 'Grandma'. That's what I called my grandmothers so long ago.
I call my grandma Gramma.
