#NSDSC15 | Challenge 04 - Mix Those Kits with Lisa Truesdell, Keisha Campbell, and April Foster

We're challenging you to try to find a bunch of combinations for mixing products from your kits! Scrapbook paper in a pocket, Card stamps on a journal card, anything you can dream up!


Lisa Truesdell and April Foster: (Lisa) I was at the Studio Calico offices this week, so April and I decided to tackle our NSD challenge pages together. And just to throw in a fun twist, we turned it into a race. (April won. Hmph. Even though she was holding a baby while finishing her layout!)

Both of us opted to mix from kits that were already out on our desks - I had transferred everything from my desk at home to a box before heading out to Bowling Green. We both used products from the last few months of kits and dipped into each other's goodies to finish up our layouts. I couldn't help but use the stamp set from Paige Evans' Make It Big class. It's so much fun to work with!

Mixing kits is a great way to squeeze another layout or two out of your leftovers - and it's a great way to try new color schemes too!

Supplies: Studio Calico kits – Lisse Street Scrapbook, Carolina Moon Scrapbook, Ivy Tower Add-on, Magic Carpet Add-on; Ink - Color Theory Inky Black; Tiny Attacher; Precision Pen 03


Keisha Campbell: I used a few of SC card kits & stamps to make PL cards. I love mixing the stamps from various kit to make my cards-that floral stamp from the Lisse Street kit is so gorgeous( I was happy to have a chance to use it again). The Signed Sealed Delivered stamp set from this month's add-on card kit was a big favorite of mine and I had to use it. I am so excited at how these turned out-simple fresh clean designs!

Supplies: Carolina Moon Card kit, Carolina Moon Project Life kit, Signed Sealed Delivered Stamp set, Color Theory Labels Bundle


We can't wait to see your take on this challenge! To be entered to win a prize from the Calico Closet, please post your project in the Studio Calico Gallery by May 10th and add the tag #NSDSC4 in the description. Challenges may be combined - just add both tags in your description. Winners will be posted on Monday, May 11th.

    This LO has items from 13 kits spanning 3 years! From Roundabout to Lisse St. I am amazed how well most SC kit items go together.
