...{...studio calico - glee club...}...

so i finally signed up for studio calico last month. when i signed up i purchased the main kit - glee club and one add on - pep squad. and...this weekend i pulled them out. i wanted to challenge myself though to only use the main kit for at least one layout...not only did i do that, but i also used it for two layouts w/o adding in anything extra...well, i did add a few drops and sprays of some gold glimmer mist and the calico white mister huey...

this first layout, the title is really a double meaning...not only is it about the shoes...but also all the hexes i used on this layout. i can't get enough!

originally i wanted the hexes to be a continuous pattern across the page w/ the big hexes near the photo leading to the smallest hexes along the paper edge. but after i started working on it i decided to keep it a bit more simple. it's so hard for me to stop adding to a page or card but i wanted the challenge of using restraint...

i knew as soon as i saw the heart shaped clip i needed to add it to the photo

loved the wood grain look to the thickers...and i'm also obsessed w/ thickers...lol...

why not use one of the hexes for journaling...it seemed more fitting than adding a journaling strip

ahhh...a chevron hex...be still my beating heart ;-)

pulled out my mister huey...which i loved!


i used my silhouette to cut out all the hexes

and i cut quite a few...too many probably, but now i have them to add to other projects

this next layout i worked and worked on...i had all those hexes left over and knew i wanted to use them up again soon. i figured 'why not' use it right now so the two layouts would look similar since they would be facing each other in my album...i kept arranging the hexes around trying to come up w/ some kind of pattern...finally, this is what i came up with...

worked and worked to come up w/ a cute border strip for the hexes


cut the title on my silhouette...the font is wisdom script

more of those lovely hexes...with a dash of mister huey!
