Hello and a very happy weekend to you!
My main supplies were:
Snippetts 6x6 patterned paper pad
Chipboard Arrows
Chipboard Cameras
All of which are available in the shop!
-
This collection is perfect - it reminds me of
bright summers days. Airy and light. The patterns are a mixture of bold and
subtle, the colours being both bright and muted. What I like best about this
6x6 pad is that all the papers are single sided. You don't know what a
weight off my mind it is not to have to choose between sides. The combination of
colours and patterns is wonderful and suitable for all themes.
I'd like to share with you two 12 x12 layouts
and several 4x6 horizontal mini cards/layouts. These layouts are for my holiday
album which mixes 12x12 with 4x6 page protectors pockets.
The top two 4x6 cards will accompany a non
beach/pool 12 x 12 layout in my album with the bottom two going next to to a 12 x 12 beach/pool layout.
First up is the beach/pool theme. I wanted a
fresh bright feel to my holiday album and used the Bazzill white range of
cardstock. The 12x12 layout is kept simple with lots of white space. The main
focus being the photos.
The journaling is on the back of this page. I
have so much to write for this holiday that occasionally there is too much to
actually put on the layout. Here is my DH coming down the water slide with two
of my boys in the pool waiting for him. He has a water camera in his hand, so
while I take a photo of him (on the left), he is taking a photo of me (on the
right). You might just be able to make me out in a black cosie standing with my
feet firmly on the ground.
I fallen in love with the chipboard cameras and
arrows. They are simply Cute!
The 4x6 cards and photos will go in the 4x6
page protector pockets next to the 12x12 layout in my album.
You can see I've used more of those gorgeous
chipboard arrows with some titles and quotes.
For my second 12x12 layout I have chosen a non beach/pool
theme. First of all I created a misted hexagon background.
To create this background I used an embossing folder. Spray your mist onto the raised side of your embossing folder, turn over and press onto your card/paper.

This amazing castle is the Harry Potter Ride in
Florida. The title of this layout is taken from the words that my youngest son wrote about this ride at
the end of the day.

arrows. |
As before, the 4x6 cards and photos will go into in the 4x6 divided page protector pockets next to the 12x12 layout.
Once again there is so much to journal for this
page. Like.... how I came to have a photo of the "Public Convenience" sign and
the story of the Harry Potter Ride, the Forbidden Journey. For this story in
particular, the 4x6 card is a pocket which will hold all the details.
So.....I hope you like my Studio Calico projects. Making little 6 x 4 cards to go alongside 12 x 12 layouts is a great way to get all those extra details and photos into your album. I hope you might give it a go. If you are still
not sure I will be making plenty more 12x12 and 4x6 with this range so you may
wish to keep an eye out over at my blog.

Beautiful Louise :)
I LOVE how you are mixing pockets with 12x12 pages!!!! LOVE it! The colors and tidbits are so much fun too!
What a great idea. x
Lovely stuff Louise!
I'm doing the same with our camping album from last year and I think they look great mixed up like that. These papers are fab and I love what you've done with them.
You've made great use of a gorgeous collection here Louise - love the different sized pieces.
Such a fun way of including lots of words while still ensuring you get lots of white space and pretties too :)
