List Book

Hey there, everyone! It's Melissa here again with a little book I put together. I loved these little albums by Studio Calico and decided to use mine to create a book to keep lists together. I plan on using this to jot down items I need (groceries/home goods) through out the week; then, when I go to put together my list to shop from, I can remember everything I need to pick up!

SUPPLIES: Studio Calico Album, Studio Calico Classic Star Paper, Studio Calico Veneer Pennants, Elle's Studio Collected Note Tags, & Ormolu Badges.

To create this little book, I adhered the chipboard from and back to the ledger lined papers. To decorated this, I first used the butterfly rub-ons by Studio Calico along the right edge of the front piece of chipboard. Then, I layered a couple of journaling cards by Elle's Studio and adhered them to the front. I punched out a couple of circles from some Studio Calico pattern paper and then punched a starburst out of white card stock and then placed the Ormolu badge on top. I layered then on top of the wooden veneer pennants by Studio Calico. Simple and easy, but it makes a pretty book to keep my lists in :-)

Thank you, LCOM, for having me along on your blog this month!  I enjoyed my time and thanks to everyone who took a peek at my projects :-)

"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.

SUPPLIES: Studio Calico Heirloom Paper, Studio Calico Letterset Paper, Studio Calico Dot One Paper, Studio Calico Newsprint Paper, Studio Calico Veneer Pennants, Ormolu Tags, and Elle's Studio Lil' Snippets in Gray.
