Say hello to Studio Calico's May kit - LAWN PARTY!
(run - don't walk(!) - its now available in the shop!)
i loved this month's kit so much that i went a little crazy and created five projects with it...
..."I love us right now" is my 'member lift' page this month. It's based off of (username) Reeni's stunning page that you can see here. She was so sweet to let me use her page for inspiration - I loved her krafty background and scattered mini hearts around the central heart - and I'm so happy that I have this page about the 4 of us right now (with just 'hold-out-the-camera-and-take-'em' style pics) because of it.
..."the Cow says Moo!" -- let's just say that I'm not sure that these cow pics from our 'farm day' last october would have ever have been scrapped had it not been for the now infamous dairy cap stamp in PAPER LANTERNS. I paired it with Black Zing! and used my Fiskars L circle punch here. And somehow i'm pretty sure that my boys are going to find these photos and this memory HILARIOUS years from now. ;) so thank-you-dairy-cap-stamp!
..."10 Months" is the latest installment in Noah's every month baby scrapbook - and a super simple combo of papers & colors & minimal embellies that i loved from this kit.
..."You Two" is my official ode to SC PATTERNED PAPER this month (and also my girly fun page)!!! :) Remember I told you that you'd want to hoard it?! The colors are just scrumptious. Playing off of the butterfly pattern on the SC paper, I die cut my big aqua butterfly so that I could fit my title on it. The artisan pin behind the butterfly was included in ROPE SWING but can also be purchased seperately here. The photo is a new favorite of mine - taken by my sister Kristi of her gorgeous 2 little girls.
...& finally my "Cute as a Button" Card was another quick little project to use some of the girly kit elements that I always adore, but sadly usually end up in my giveaway pile. I've forgotten how much i REALLY enjoy making cards. :) And it's made entirely from PAPER LANTERNS - my favorite addon.
So that was May.
I hope everyone enjoys this kit as much as i did! :)
Beautiful pages! I love them all!

Sooo inspiring!! I had to leave my Google Reader and zip right on over here to tell you that 'I think your LO's are AMAZING!!' I wish they were mine!! :) -LOL!! Great job (as always).

Beautiful as always.
I have to confess that when I saw the title "The cow says moo" I immediately said, "The sheep says Baa. Three singing pigs say la la la." We've read that book a couple million times in this house!
