"Kaleb" by Melissa Mann

Hey, everyone! I'm super excited to be working with the LCOM marketing team for the month of April! I am going to be highlighting some products from Studio Calico, Elle's Studio, & Ormolu




To create this layout, I cute a piece of white card stock down to 81/2 x 11 inches.  I sprinkled it with some Mr. Huey mist and let that dry. I cut a block of the Studio Calico Heirloom paper and two strips of the opposite side of the Heirloom paper and stitched them all down vertically. I then punched circles from various papers from the Classic Calico collection and matted my pictures with them. I used foam tabs to pop them up off my layout. I then placed some of the veneer pennants and placed them underneath each circle in various places. I cut an Elle's Studio journaling card down and placed the "Remember This" under one photo and then used the other journaling block to type out my text. I used a couple of tags by Ormolu and adhered those down. The layout felt a little heavy to the right hand side, so I decided to cut strips of white cardstock and cut them into a pennant shape. I then ran my roller tape down the very edge of the left hand side and stuck my pennants on it. I cut off the excess and then ran my sewing machine down the length of it. Lastly, I placed my title "Kaleb" on top of the pennants and stitched it down.
