Teamwork

Hi everyone,
Wow, hard to believe that it is Wednesday already. Where has my week gone?
I have been spending quite a bit of time at the gym lately. Ever since we got a family membership over the summer it has been my obsession.

I have also been very busy with Cheer and Football. I am the team manager of Kalee's cheer team so I spend a lot of time there. Both teams won their games last weekend and we had a big celebration. I love when that happens.

I had some time to play with the Studio Calico Central High kit this week and had lots of misting fun!

and a funny for you today...
Matt decided to wear his football helmet on the drive to school today, because he says that Mom is a crazy driver.

There may be a little truth to that, but I love this kid. He cracks me up everyday!

Enjoy this moment & remember

Hiya friends,

Happy Wednesday. Hope that your week is treating you well. I got the kids off to school and now I am enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I have a layout that I would like to share today using the new Heyday collection from Studio Calico and some SC stamps. I love how it came out!

Enjoy this moment & remember layout:

I really wanted to purchase the sunburst and plano circle as a mask but they were sold out at SC, so I purchased them both as stamps. I sprayed them with Mister Huey's spray mist and then stamped them on my layout. I especially love the look stamped on canvas. So cool!

supplies:
pattern papers: Studio Calico - Hey day collection
die cuts: Studio Calico - Hey day collection
stamps: starburst background stamp, plano stamp (Studio calico)
mask: ampersand (Studio Calico)
spray mists: Mister Huey's (Studio Calico)
tools: Silhouette Cameo
cutting file: enjoy this moment (KI memories)
sewing machine: brother
thread: Guterman
pen: Zig
canvas paper: Recollections

Thanks for stopping by, Have a Blessed day!

music for the soul

so, I had a chance to play with paper over the Christmas break (before, the kids and I got sick). I am still laid up in bed so I am just sharing some earlier projects that I made.

Music for the soul:


I just recently fell in love with all the wooden alphabets made by Pink Paislee

I used the daily junque wood alphabet on my layout

and misted them with Mister Huey's Calico White from Studio Calico.

I really love how they look all inked up.



Here is another recent layout that I would like to share with you:

Random Facts about Matt:


I used papers from Amy Tangerine and Studio Calico on my layout and more Mister Huey's spray with the new mistables mask from Pink Paislee. I am in love with this mask.

Here is a shot up close:

I also used the round 20 button studio from Epiphany Crafts to make the acrylic buttons.

Thanks for stopping by!
