Odyssey reveal!

February is such a short month and I really love that. It means that March – the first spring month – will be here in a minute! And ‚Odyssey‚ March reveal at Studio Calico is NOW. What should I write about these kits… I think they are one of my favourites what doesn’t shocked me at all becasue all March kits are my fav. during all year. ‚Odyssey‚ scrapbook main kit is so inspiring, full of my favourite shades, travel and outdoor themes, great embellishments, exclusive pattern papers… I was so inspired by all of these elements, just take a look:

Inside you can also find fabulous roller stamp with Kal Barteski’s brush script! I didn’t use it on my pages becasue we didn’t know at the begining of our CT work if it finally will be placed in the kit. So it’s a shame that I don;t have it on my layout; I will use it next time for sure!

This is my main kit project inspired by an old sketch. I used here almost all March exclusives plus – I added watercolours in the centre of the layout, I cuted the Europe map from the patterned paper and I covered the photo using vellum stripe – I have no idea why, but I did that.

This month I made two layouts where I mixed the main kit with scrapbook add-ons: ‚Penelope‚, ‚Athena‚ and ‚Calypso‚. I love them all but my deifinitely most favourite is this amazing ‚Laina’ Alpha stamp set!!! I used it in both projects.

This layout was inspired by the awesome cactus illustration by The Aestate and T-shirt print which I found on Pinterest. I printed a huge photo on a vellum and added ‚B-day’ topic made with ‚Laina’ stamps. See this fancy washi tape at the top? it’s part of ‚Calypso‚ add-on which is not only for cats&dogs lovers 🙂

I love my work :: Studio Calico weekly sketch

Hi everybody! I have an honour to share first February sketches with ‚Cirque‚ kits.

I chose to work with a scrapbook sketch based on April’s layout. I love simple sketches becasue than you can mess with an example (which in other hand is a perfection). But the idea is to use the sketch and create something in your own style.

I was inspired by two things this time: with my favourite ‚Europe map’ stamp and die and by the huge letters which I used to create white on white title (the alphabet is coming from the January ‚Ivy Tower’ add-on).

I used the pictures from my last trip to Spain where I was teaching mixed media classes. The layout is about my dreamy scrapbook work, about amazing people I meet in various countries, etc… I just love my job, it incorporates all the things I adore in my life: art, people, travelling, different languages and customs.

This layout remind me that my beloved Poland is not that far away from the rest of the beautiful places in Europe 🙂
