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).

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 388 of 388I call my grandma "Oma", which is dutch... that reminds me, I really should give her a call.
love those scallopped circles! I call mine Nana!
Neither of my Grandmas are around anymore, but I did just call them Grandma. It got confusing sometimes though as one of them had the first name of Carol, and one of them had the last name of Carel. You couldn't just say Grandma Carol-you had to be specific. :)
Hello April. I call my Grandmother, Grand or G-ma. She is a fun lady! Loves her to pieces!
Thank you, Mika
I called my maternal grandmother Granny and my paternal grandmother Grandma. Ilove Studio Calico so thanks for the chance to win April!
thanks for sharing the tip with the punch...love the idea and will try it soon
This makes my heart ache for my grandma who had a really hard life but always the hugest smile. Miss you Grandma!
My daughter called my Mom "Meme" when she was tiny, and she's been Meme ever since.
I love what you did with the circle punches!!!
Well...I don't have a grandma anymore...but I used to call her...well...Grandma. My kiddos call both of their grandmas "Grandma" plus their name.
WOW! I love how you used the scallop circles!! thanks for the tutorial too!
I call my grandma Nany and my Grandpa was Papa. My boys call my mom, Mo, which was the closest my oldest could say for Grandma when he first started to talk, and it stuck, now everyone in our family and even around town calls her 'Mo' and her license plate is GMA MO.
Love what you did with the circle punch! I will try it ASAP!
Popo ... that's Chinese for Grandmother.
i call my grandma 'nanay' in tagalog, which means mom. :D
Wow...great use of the punches and love the heart veneers. Thanks!
Gramser-but everyone else called her Little Grandma. (My mom is Big Grandma at a whopping five feet 1 inches tall-LOL)
I am in love with the wood veneer! So many possibilities.
I call my sweet grandma "Dede".
when they were alive, i called them both Grandma :). thanks for the chance to win!

When we were little it was always Grandma, but as we got older (like late teens, early twenties)we called her by her given name. It kinda became a fun thing because she was one of those grandma's that didn't want to be a grandma because that meant she was old :)
Wow what a great idea with those circles!!! I love the layout. I call mine Nana!
Wow- BEAUTIFUL layout! I call my grandma "Grandma Mac." Her last name is McMillian, so that's where the Mac came from. :P
I call her Granny and my kids either call her Granny or The Gran. If you have The in front of your name you are really important and cool in my kids' book! :)
I called her Grandma & she was a very special lady. My grandchildren call me Granny, Gran or G-ma depending on their mood.
That layout is lovely April! The veneer hearts are one of my fav things from the releases too. :D I guess I am pretty traditional, I call my grandma Grandma. :D Always have. And even though she is my daughter's Great Grandma, they too will call her Grandma. Just can't see her being called anything else.
Both my grandmothers were Grandma nad my children have a Grandma too. Love that heart!
I call my grandma Granny!!! Love her.
Always love your pages April. Thanks for sharing how you did the scalloped circles. I thought you had a used a die cutting machine but I'm pleased to see I can re-create this with my existing tools! I call my grandmother 'Nan'. But sometimes we like to tease her by calling her 'Granny Grotbags'. Haaaaa!
My grandma is grandma!
I call mine Mamaw Shugie:). Thanks for the chance to win.
My dear grandma passed away this year at age 95. She lived a good life and I loved her dearly. She was always Grandma, although she signed everything mamaw!
I call my grandmas grandma. But when I was a kid I used to call them up to grandmas and down to grandmas because my grandmas live about a block and a half apart and it's up or down a slight hill so when I was at down to grandmas I would say I'm going up to grandmas and vice versa . So it became up to grandmas and down to grandmas....lol
Love the hearts I am working on a shadow box for my grandmas and the veneer hearts would make a great addition.
The punched circles are fantastic!
I called mine Grandma and Nana. Can't wait to try the scallop circles. Thanks for the great tip.
I called both my grandmothers "Nana" - love them to pieces, miss them always! xoxo
I called one Grandma and one Granny...one was Italian and one was English!
Love the new lines, thanks for the chance to win!
Brilliant layout & technique! I call my grandmothers Gran.
Love the layout! One grandmother was "Grandma" and the other was "Nanny." Naturally, my mother is "Nanny" to my kids too!
My Mom's mom was Grandma and Dad's mom was Nana. I liked having different names for each.. so much easier.
My grandma was grams and my grandpa was Debe.
I call both of my grandmothers maw maw
Sweet page and photo w/ your grandma! Love the way you did the scallop accents.
I call my grandmother "Lola" - that's the Filipino word for grandmother. :) My kids call my mom the same thing now too (so they have a Lola on my side and a Grandma on my hubby's side). Thanks for the chance to win!
My name was "Gran" nothing more or less she was very specific about what we called her. My boys call my mum nana however.
Oh April... I love this page... such a great technique with the open circles!!
What a great page.. you will cherish that photo!
I call my one and only grandma...Gram
Thanks for the punch idea!
I called her Grammy. Thanks for the chance to win!

I call my grandma "po po" (in mandarin)
Just Grandma :D Grams if I'm being cute :)
Beautiful page! I called my wonderful grandma Gram. I miss her every day!
We call her Grandma Barbie. It was hard for her to be called Grandma at all, because she became a grandma at about 37 years old!
I had a NANA and a MAMA....which now I am MAMA to my grandguys!!!...LOVE!
My family is from Puerto Rico. I called my grandmother's Abuela.

& I called both my grandmas simply "Grandma" :)
My grandma is now my kid's great grandma,'so they call her GIGI
Love the layout. I call both Grandmothers Grandma. I know lame! LOL
we called my grandma "obaban" which is actually incorrect because the japanese way to say "grandma" is "obaachan" but it was our way.
thanks for the chance to win.
I called her Grammy. It's been 8 years since she passed away, it seems like yesterday we would sit out in her garden, look at her flowers and enjoy cooking together.
I love your circle punch layout - I'm gonna have to check my punches to if I have ones that will work.

I called her Grandma :) Thanks for the chance!
Nice idea! Thank you for sharing!

I call my grandma "grandma"
Lovely layout! The empty scallop circles are a fun idea. I am lucky enough to have a Grandma B, Grandma H, Grandma T, and my loving Nana who passed away 2 years ago.
I call my grandmother- Nanny. Love the cirlce on the layout
Another fan of the circles, and appreciate knowing the simple way to create them!
I never had the pleasure to meet either of mine but my girls their grandma Baba.
I call my one grandma....grandma...original huh? and the other i called granny....she totally fit the bill on that one! :)
Thanks for the circle tutorial - as a new scrapper I love seeing things like this. I call my grandmother Nana.
I call one Mamie and one Grammy. Love your layout! Thanks for the chance to win :)
Plain and simple.......I call her Grandma.
Simply "Grandma."
Grams...all the way! :)
both my grandmothers are now gone, but one was called "grandma" and the other was called "mommi", which is a term used by the PA Dutch, i think.
Love your layout!
I call her Granny. : - )
Thanks for the tutorial....I was wondering as soon as I saw the circles how they were done:)))
i call her grams. eventually everyone else started calling her that too. :)
I'm never far from my glue pen! Love it for tiny details! My own grandmother has been gone for over 20 years. But my own 5 yr old grandson has been calling me "Mom-Mom" since he could speak. Reason? We explained that I am his Mom's mom, and it simply stuck!
I called one Grandma--Grandma and the other, Nanny! Love the circle idea!
Unfortunately, my grandmothers are no longer with us. They are both missed greatly. On my Mom's side she was Gram and on my Dad's side she was MiMi.
Love the simple style of this layout! Over here in Asia, we call our grandmothers 'Ah Ma'(father's side) or 'Po Po'(mother's side) :)
I call both of my grandmas "grandma". When I have kids, I want them to call my mom Nana or Grammy. I think those names are so cute.

I don't have a grandma but my kids call their grandma bannie. kathy v
it's great that you made a LO focusing on your grandma. I have to do more singular focus LO's of family members.
i love grandma layouts! i have lots! super cute use of punches too
This is so fun! You are all so creative!!
littleumbrella (at) wow (dot) com
I was fortunate to have all my grandma's and called them all Grandma. My great grandma was special and we called her Granny. My little boy is 9 months old and I am excited to see what he names his grandmas. He is the first grand-baby on my side of the family, so it is all up to him.
Both my grandmother's have passed away but I called my Maternal grandmother "Nana" and my Paternal grandmother "Grandma". My kids call my mom "Nonna" and my MIL "Nana". Love your layout too!
I call her grandma marvelous. Because that's what she is and it kinda sounds like her name ;)
My grandma has long since passed but we called her Grandma. My great grandmother we called Gran.
Unfortunately, both of my grandmothers have passed away, but I always called them "Gramma." My son called my mother "Moomaw".
Growing up I had a "Nanny" and an "Amma". Amma is the Icelandic way of saying grandma. Once I had kids, there was no way she wanted any part of being called the traditional "Long Amma" (Old Amma), so my kids called her "Amma Dodie" (Dodie was her nickname as a kid, as her name is Doreen). My Nanny was the sweetest ever, I really miss her. She passed away a year ago.
Love the heart veneer...and the layout! :)
Nonna - it's what Italians call their Grandma. Mine passed away many years ago, but my kids call my Mum Nonna too. I love that.
i always called my grandma "ma ma" thanks for the chance to win.
Ok...I am crying now...my grandma died unexpectedly last Saturday! I called her Grandma Ginger...Ginger was her dogs name when us kids were little and we started calling her that and it stuck. I miss her so much!
Love that veneer! I called my dad's mom Grammy and my mom's mom is Granny Gabo. I call her Granny Gabo (as do most all of my cousins) because I overheard my Grandpa calling her Gabo (she talks a lot) when I was a toddler and the name stuck.
I called my grandma's "Grandma Effie" and "Grandma Mary". Loved them both dearly and miss them lots.
Just Grandma.
love the idea with the circle punches, need to get more use out of mine! May grandma is Grandma and Nanna. THanks
So cute! And I used to call her Grandmother.
My grandma was called Nana, as is my mum to my kids
Obaachan, it's Grandma in Japanese
Trop sympa cette page.
I have always called my grandma's Grandma!! :D
Super Cute new line! I had a grandma and a granny!
ooooooooo! i <3 your punch tutorial! ingenuity at its best. :) my grandmother was always "mother" to her children and grandmother to all the cousins... i got to call her grammother. i miss her! good luck recovering your studio :)
Love the product , I call my grandmother Grammie Whitman because when my other grandmother was living I called her grammie White . My grammie Whitman will be 96 years old tomorrow <3
Beautiful layouts April!
I called my sweet Gramnda, just "Granny" or "Swamp Granny" since that's what she called herself. :)
I never had the opportunity to meet either of my grandmothers, but I think I'd have liked to call them Nana :) Fab layouts!
If she was still here, she'd be "grandma"...
beautiful layout and your grandma is gorgeous!
My grandmother lived with us for half of my life and everyone ( including my friends ) called her grandma. I miss her! Beautiful layout!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I used to call my grandma "oma", but she passed away some years ago.
I never met my grandma on my dad's side, but my mom's mother was "poh poh" to me. It's in a Chinese dialect called Cantonese.

Thank you sooooooo much for showing us how to punch the circles! Love the layout!!
i call my grandma "grandma." very original.
Cute LO! And those hearts are soooo pretty! Thanks for the chance to win!
I was a 5th generation, so I had lots of grandmothers. My "last" grandmother died in August. When I was born, mom asked my grandmother how she wanted to be addressed....she said Maxine was just fine. So that's what we called her, lol.
My grandmothers are deceased, but I called them 'mah-mah' (chinese for grandma)
I need these for my collection please. LOL
I called both my grandmother's by spanish names...one was Mama, with emphasis on the second syllable and the other one Abuelita (Spanish for "little" grandma-she is only 4'9!).
I just call mine Grandma..
Such a fab blog! I've never been here b4 :) I stopped by on the SC bloghop! Such gr8 inspiration, thanks :)
my grandmothers were Nanny and Gram....
I really like how you repeated the empty hearts with the empty scalloped circles. VERY nice!
I love your work. Thank you fro bringing us SC.
just grandma. i loved spending time with her. =)
My grandmother passed away 4 years ago, but I used to call her Peaches. She said my brother had cheeks like peaches when he was a baby and she said it so often, we thought that was her name.
Thank you for the mini tutorial. What a great new fresh idea! I called my Grandmas just that, but now that the kids have Grandmas too, we add the last name to each so that there is no mistake which one.
I called my grandma Nana
Just love those hearts, thanks for the chance to win
Wow, what an amazing idea!
Love it!
Thank you April
I refer to my living grandmother by either her given name or her given name + relational title.
My Grandma passed away last year but I always called her Mum-Mum
Just plain old Grandma for us :) Love those open punched scallop circles.
Love the circles!
I called one of my grandmothers Mema and the other Grannie
We call our grandma Nana. My mom likes to be called "G ma" by my kiddos! : P
Thanks for the inspirations here! Those scalloped circles are cute!
I just called her 'Ba' :)
I call my Grandma either Grandma or Grammie. She's the type of Grandma that you would want... loving and thoughtful. :)
Love your layout April!
I used to call my grandma "Mamie". I'm not exacty sure why, since her real name was Winifred. It might be a German type word since that is where she was from. But one time, as a child, when putting her name on a card, I wrote "Miami"!
I haven't got any grandmothers left... :(
I miss her...
beautiful LO- what a great idea with the punches.
Thank you for wonderful technique.
Thank you for a wonderful idea!
Grandma!
I always called my grandmothers "Nana." They were old school little Italian women. :)

LOVE LOVE! Thanks for the chance!

Love the circles and all the chipboard accents. Naked Chipboard iw one of my faves to work with. You can do so much with it! I am not lucky enough to to still have a living grandma, but my children called their's grandma, and my grandchildren call me grammie.
I always called my grandmothers Grandma, but my daughter calls my mom Henny because she couldn't say Granny very well and it just stuck!
We call our Grandma - Granny. She hates it but it's such a habit we still call her that and love it.
love that circle technique. wondering if I could do it with my big shot?
Beautiful Layout! Well my mom's mom is Grandma but my dad's mom is Babci, pronounced Bob-chee. It is the Polish word for grandma.
This is such a lovely layout, April! Thank you for sharing this special moment!
your layout is beautiful!!
love the circles...I had a nanny and a mamaw.
Thanks for sharing this tip - I have both of those punches and have never thought to try that!!
One was grandma and the other was grannie. They have both passed on, but will be remembered forever. :)
My grandmas are just Grandma. :)
My grandmothers were both "Nana"; my children's are "Nana" (my Mum) and "Nonna" (my husband's mum).
I'm from Asia and with a dialect different from our national language. So in my family, we call her "apu", which means grandma.
My grandmother was called "Moo Moo". I miss her so much!
Mema. My grandma has always been Mema :)
My one we call Grandma. My other one, we used to call Grams
...my grandma is called Grandma...

We call my Grandma Grammie...and thanks for the tutorial about how to do the scalloped circle punches!
