*waves* Here I am as promised.. showing you all what I made with the product featured in my ‘What I’m Working With Wednesday’ video! I feel all sorts of accomplished now, lol! There was a moment there when I thought I was going to scrap this layout.. but, I think I pulled it together pretty well.
For this layout I REALLY wanted to push myself to use those darn mists and the mask. I practiced a bit for the look I wanted on some scrap paper.. and to my amazement, I got it ‘right’ on my actual layout! Mist is a bit tricky.. I am learning that different brands spray differently. Some come out clean and spray very well.. some spray more ‘scattered’ (even with clean nozzles). I think I am getting it though.. and I like the look. Not for everything, but I felt the misted arrow mask worked well with this layout. I also knew I wanted a white background with pops of color and chunky rectangles or squares of paper. I am not 100% sold on the placement of the photo, but I had already sewn down the chat bubble and moving the photo anywhere else would look odd.
The title comes right from my little dudes mouth! I was printing his photo and he was talking about his snow monster hat.. He said it makes him go faster on the sled. Then he said, “Snow monsters go fast, huh mama?”... *high five* to the boy for helping his title challenged mama!
So, if you haven’t viewed the video of all the yummy product from the Studio Calico ‘Here & There’ collection, you can view it HERE. I also show some other random bits that coordinate with the collection.
OK, on to the layout!
I just love that picture of my little man! He just got done sledding down a big hill (right in our front yard!) and landed pretty much at my feet.. I was trying to make sure I stopped him from flying through a tree into the neighbors yard, lol.
Used the Studio Calico roller stamp here. Perfect! Added some stitching to a few parts of the layout.
Some scattered embellishments… fun, fun!… or, like the chat bubble says, “SO FUN!”
That’s it! I really hope you all are enjoying the layouts! I definitely feel more ‘at peace’ with making them now.. not so much like a beginner. It’s not as scary as it once was. Now I feel like a more well rounded designer; layouts, cards, altered stuff, etc. ya me! *smiles*
OK, friends.. off with ya! Have a good one…

Sweet!! Great use of the goodies! I was wondering how the camera clip would look and work on a layout! Love your layout!
Aren’t the clips adorable? So happy I snagged them up!
The mist technique worked out very well. Good job!
I LOVE your misting on your page. I haven’t tried it myself for the reasons you stated in your video…but it hasn’t stopped me from buying a bunch of supplies. Haha! You have motivated/inspired me to try mine out now.
I think that photo is perfect where it is. Great layout and so glad that you captured the moment. That camera paper clip is perfect. Glad you had help with the title it is perfect and goes well with what you used.
Hope you are having a good weekend!

This turned out awesome! Misting and masks make me nervous too, but you used them like a pro. Love these papers–Probably my favorite Studio Calico line so far.
Your layout turned out great! I am not good with mists and don’t use them too much but seeing your layout makes me want to give it another shot. You are an amazing designer! Layouts included!
Another awesome LO!!!!!! Love titles like these!! Great misting and embellishment placement
Love the colors and you used those cute little arrows! Misting makes me nervous too, but I may just try it!
Your misting is FAB! Do you know how many times I tried using mists and wrecked my papers? Come on over, and you can mist my projects girl! What a cutie – looks like he’s having fun! I love seeing your layouts – I learn and get inspired everytime you post one!
