DELIGHT IN THE LITTLE THINGS

A layout that I created recently using the Studio Calico Kit County Fair and Ring Toss Add-on

Supplies in Studio Calico Kit from: Crate Paper, Basic Grey, Jenni Bowlin, Pebbles. American Crafts

I started by stamping the circle stamp on the cardstock slightly off-centre. As the circle is already sectioned off, it helped to know how to best draw the starburst. I used a ruler to draw on the patterned paper, to indicate where to cut to make the pattern, purposefully leaving some blanks to add visual interest.

After layering the papers, I stitched them down with the sewing machine to add some texture to the layout. And then scattered some embellishments around. This is when using a kit comes in really helpful as there are coordinated papers which are not too matchy matchy yet look like they come from the same set.

Most stitching generally to add texture to the layout.

Hope that this layout has "scattered some sunshine" to you as you view it today.
