Welcome to Paper Issues “Spring Into the Studio” Blog Hop!
You should have arrived here from Anna's Blog.
If this is your first stop, be sure to head over to Paper Issues to start at the beginning!
I have always been a Studio Calico fan!! I love the unusual and unique patterns and color combos in their collections! I have a few pages to share using some recent lines!
When I first saw the Darling Dear collection, I fell in love with the colors! I thought it was a great collection for boys, so of course I used some photos of Kyler.
For the past 6 months or so, he has had this habit of dumping his food on his head and trying to wear his bowl as a hat. Most of the time its when he is finished, but it is still a mess. As my journaling says, I probably shouldn't have laughed the first time he did it. And then I probably shouldn't have continued to take photos every time, either! :) We would always say to him "It's not a hat Ky Guy!"
I have to admit that I HATE using drops of dark orange or red mist because it looks like blood! But this color of Mr. Huey (Orchard) was perfect for the colors in the embellishments.
OK, so next is a page that is totally opposite than the previous, using the new Sundrifter collection. I know I am going to be using this collection a lot for my spring and summer photos.
This is Charlotte last spring visiting the Easter Bunny! Sh was all smiles when she saw him and kept telling me how soft he was after she hugged him!
I actually used a piece of paper from the SC "Abroad" collection for my background (the white circles reminded me of eggs). I toned it down a bit by doing a white wash with some gesso. Then I used a flower stencil and some modeling paste to create some 3D flowers, and then some splatters of pink paint.
