I just have to take a minute to wish my friends April and Scarlet a very, very happy two years with their amazing kit club, Studio Calico! Those two ladies have worked so hard into making their vision a success and I'm just so proud of them for all they have accomplished in just 2 short years.
I'll never forget the day that April, Shannon and I were having a little girl's nite at California Pizza Kitchen. After some general catching up, April turned to the two of us and said, "Let me tell you about what we're wanting to do." And right before us, she outlined an idea for a kit club that was all about service and style. Genius! My jaw hung open hearing all she had planned. I am honored to have been a part of it from the beginning and even more thrilled to see how it has grow even beyond their wildest imaginations.
In celebration of their anniversary, April and Scarlet were kind enough to send me their amazing July Main Kit, DOCUMENTARY, to play with. Even though the colors were much more muted than what I normally use, I shouldn't have even batted an eye because April and Scarlet are so skilled in putting products together that these layouts literally fell together.
This first one is of our summer "stay-cation." I have so many photos from the summer so far and can't possibly do a layout with all of them, so I picked a few of my favorites and put them all on this one layout. To give it a little more of a vacation feel, I added the raffia to the tropical flowers and created a fun fringe that frames the photos!
Supplies: Studio Calico (destination circles), Jenni Bowlin(yellow) and Scenic Route (green) pp, Bazzill Cardstock, Making Memories flowers, Studio Calico stamps and fab-rips, K&Co. alpha stickers
Here are a few detail shots so you can see the fringe and flowers a bit better.
And this one is of Carson and Shannon's son, Eli - we never can get over how much alike they look, right down to the same size, too! I took this photo when we had lunch earlier this month.
Supplies: Scenic Route PP, SEI tickets, Bazzill CS, buttons
And again here are a few close-ups so you can see the details a bit better:
So here's the most exciting part for all of you. April and Scarlet have very generously given me one of their Director's Cut add-ons (shown below) to give away to one of my lucky blog readers! Whooohooo! So here's what you have to do. Just leave me a comment about your favorite part of summer or your best vacation ever on this post between now and Wednesday, July 1st at 11:59 pm Eastern time and you'll be entered to win!!
Good Luck and have a wonderful Monday!
xoxo,
k.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 256 of 256Living in Canada my whole life, my favourite part of summer has always been related to clothing. I love that I can wear sandals, shorts and there is no need for a coat (usually). I have seen snow in every month of the year ;-)
The best though is sitting outside on the front porch on a warm summer night watching the sun set with my husband.
My favorite things about summer are playing outside with the kids, going for walks, and going to the farmer's market.
My favourite part of summer is taking a couple weeks of vacation and lounging by the pool with a good book.
TFS!!
When I was a kid, my favorite summer things were building forts in my grandmother's backyard, climbing a big magnolia tree 2 houses down from her house, and playing with my cousin and friends at her house. As an adult, my favorite things are popsicles, water parks, the beach, and the pool -- mainly whatever my daughter likes to do!!
My favorite part of our summer vacation was going to Sea World. My oldest daughter rode her very first roller coaster and her expression when the camera took her photo was priceless. Our summer has been busy so far, but has been so much fun already!! thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite thing about summer is more time to BBQ with friends and family!
My favourite part of the summer is playing at the beach with the kids. :)
Love the layouts! ... favorite thing about summer... sunshine & grillin' out :)
My summerfavourite is time with my kids without homework, learning for tests.....And then during summervacation I hove more time to scrap with real daylight.
I love ALL of you layouts and look forward to seeing new ones!! I love all the days by the pool and beach for summer, if we could live in our bathing suits snd never work that would be great...but how would I support my scrapbooking addiction?????
I love Studio Calico!! Thanks for offering this great prize!!
My favorite thing about summer is flip flops! Seriously. Since I live in Florida, flip flops are almost everyday attire and they go with everything (well, except for that floor length ball gown - but really... when am I going to wear that?!)
my best vacation ever was a 3 month backpacking trip in Europe with my husband. I still think about it almost every day and it was almost 5 years ago now.
No schedule! Everything else I love about summer stems from the lack of schedule we have - love that. :)
My favorite thing about summer is that with all of us out of school, life SLOWS down so we can enjoy it. I'm LOVING spending time with my boys! My husband is laid up with a broken leg for the summer so I'm rediscovering outdoor recreation like playing catch, horseshoes, badminton, biking, gardening. What was a tramatic event for our family has turned out to be a blessing in disguise!
Wow! best thing about summer for me is that Fall is never too far behind!
Your vacation pages are beautiful! I take my vacation at christmas and visit Family in England if I can.
I love love love SC kits! I've never owned one and would love one!!
I have many favorites but currently my fave part of Summer has been watching my Day Lillies finally bloom. They bloomed just a few days ago and are SO gorgeous, I could stare at them all day!!
My favorite Summer vacation wasn't a vacation at all.. It was a mission trip to Haiti in July 1991 and I will never EVER forget it. It changed my life!
My favorite part of summer is just being able to relax toward the evening and if it's cool enough leave the windows open. I have allergies in the Spring & Fall, so we hardly keep the windows open. I also enjoy the kids can wake and sleep as they want without school or activities to worry about. Thanks for this fun giveaway!
My favorite part of summer is getting to spend more time with my 3 grandsons :)
My favorite part of summer is eating cold watermelon, swimming, picking fresh flowers, and taking photos in the greenest grass! :)
My favourite part of summer...The warm sunny days. We get to go outside and burn off energy. Much better than being trapped indoors for most of the winter.
I love to enjoy nature: sun, water, sand, forrest, parks, etc. Thanks for the opportunity, LOVE your work!!
My favorite part of summer is not having to make sure my son is ready for the bus by 6:55 am! (Now that doesn't mean he's sleeping in any later...but at least we don't have to be up and at 'em first thing in the morning!)
My favorite part of summer is long evenings with friends and family on the patio - good food and good conversation.
best vacation was with hubby on our honeymoon to bora bora!! absolute paradise there!! we want to go back this year on our 10th anniversary but will be harder to pick up and go with a 2 & 4 yr old!
I love summer--and this year I am definately stacationing. I am crafting with my six year old and she is becoming a scarpping addict--like mother like daughter! Love these kits, I have to check studio cocalico out
My best vacation ever was taking the kids to the beach for a week - they had so much fun and we had a great time! We were there with the family, had great cook-outs for dinner and bonded. It was fantastic!
Oh summer, lightning bugs, ice creams trucks, outdoor concerts, fresh cut grass, pretty flowers and best of all the beach!!!!!! Ahhhh summer!!!!

What do I love about summer? I am a teacher; therefore I LUV summer vacation. It allows me to ATTEMPT to get my sanity back. For TWO solid months, I don't have anyone challenging my walk with Christ/making me feel as if I am ON the cross on a daily basis. ;)
Great giveaway! My favorite part of summer is sleeping late and just being able to do what we want when we want. Nice break from the craziness of the school year- for me and the kids.
Sleeping in and playing 'til dark!
Summer means getting together with old friends.
The best part for me is going to the outdoor pool or the waterpark with my boys. For them, it's making and eating popsicles!
