Fun in the SUN with Studio Calico South of Market

Hello people. How are you liking our new blog ? I am taking baby steps, worried that I might mess something up, blogging using a new platform. Wish me luck.

I am working with Studio Calico South of Market this month. This range surprised me because I tend to associate the images with harvest and thus autumn but I love the colours so I ordered it anyway.  And as you will see, it suits summer just as well! I also picked up some Studio Calico Essentials.  This is what I worked with.

For a touch of summer, I added American Crafts #Summer Acrylic Shapes…it is CLEARLY summer.

This is my first layout. I made a mistake of using PVA glue for the clear acrylic shapes and it is refusing to dry so it is still showing on this picture.  I am convinced it will be better once it is dry!

My second layout is about a trip to the German parliament in Berlin.  Granted, it wasn’t summer but those # from acrylic die cut packs made perfect addition to the multiple sections of my journalling. # used to indicate number before the use of hash tagging. Any reader couldn’t possibly get the reading order wrong.
