{Metropolitan Revealed}

Studio Calico's delicious December kit is live.  :)

and this is what i made with it (plus addons Park Bench & Mass Transit)...

..."Christmas 2009" - lots & lots of photos from our Christmas outtings & celebrations last year.  I hadn't scrapped any of these - and it was so great to be able to get so many on one page.  I'm quite fond of the multiphoto photostrips these days!

..."We Had Adventures" - lots of random photos pulled from past files on my old PC - from various trips that Eric and I took before Evan was born.  We used to travel alot (well at least a lot more than we do now!) - and I love the compilation of all of these travel pics on a single page.  This entire page was made with just the "Mass Transit" addon - i LOVE this add on so much - just the stamp kit alone makes the addon worth it!!! :)

..."Your First Month" - one of my favorite pages EVER!!!  I was really stumped as to what to do with this calendar sheet of paper until I thought about documenting Noah's first month of life.  I take a quick snapshot (at least) every day of him, and this was such a great way to spread a whole month of photos out on a single page.  There are also LOTS of other great ideas on how to use the calendar sheet, in the Design Team gallery...

...you can get an extra piece of this calendar paper in the MORE Patterned Paper addon - I'm already thinking that I need a WHOLE STACK of it!!!

And that was December.  Which also =s an entire year at Studio Calico for me.  It just seems crazy how quickly a year has accumulated.  I love that I get to be a part of this fabulous team of inspiring women - and have grown to know the community there better - and am thankful for all of the pages that I've been able to make with the kits this past year.  Studio Calico has really helped to put the "fun" back into scrapping for me, and that's what it's all about, right?!

Beautiful Layouts. I'm wondering... what program are you using to print your photostrips?? TIA Monika

[Susan Weinroth]

thank you!  I just resized them and set up a strip (= white background blank image) in photoshop, and then arrange them

[Monika Sh]

Thanks... I just got Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm a bit lost in it but I'll figure it out. I appreciate you taking the time to respond!!

Oh my goodness, I love the First Month layout! That's adorable, are the white "frames" really just a square punch put behind the photo are did you make actual frames for each photo?

[Susan Weinroth]

printed mini pics on a white background and then trimmed each with a white border!  :)  thx!
