"I've been working to kill my Studio Calico scrapbook kits from 2014 and had a bunch of pretty scraps from Sugar Rush to use up before I felt I could call the kit 'done.' I already had this little photo printed and just started stacking the papers underneath it, playing with how they overlapped each other and what patterns peeked out. I snuck in a larger light colored patterned paper for my journaling - where I wrote about my first girl day with my daughter, Morgan, before she started kindergarten. I added some horizontal stitching, stapled on a couple embellishments, and then stuck a few foam dots under the layers to make them pop more. The dark gray cardstock and heavy layering are a departure from my usual layouts but I love how it turned out. Thank you so much to Studio Calico and this awesome community for choosing my layout as Layout of the Week!"
