Card: First card ever!

I have never made a card before.  Ever.  I've thought about it but I just never could figure out where to start.  Thanks to the Studio Calico online crop event challenge, I finally got a jumping off point!!

Layout: Scrap Buddy

This layout was totally inspired by the Studio Calico message board!

Challenge #2 for the Studio Calico online crop event was to do a layout based on a skirt on of the design team found.  

Awesomly enough, I had a piece of pattern paper in the kit this month (that I didn't really like) that was PERFECT!  It was kinda nice to be given the chance to use a paper that I originally turned my nose up at.

The photo for this layout was honestly chosen by the Studio Calico community!  I posted a picture of my desk with Lily on it and people just LOVED her!  They kept calling her my Scrap Buddy...  So here she is!

On a side note, Bella Blvd is hosting a HUGE giveaway!  All 4 of their brand new GORGEOUS lines are up for grabs to one lucky winner!  Head over and check it out!!!

Layout: You & Me (ComicCon edition)

This is my entry for the Studio Calico online crop event Challenge #1!  The challenge was to make a layout based on something in your Inspiration Folder.  So I chose a layout by Sarah Boirin.  This layout really tested my patience because the final product was the FOURTH page I ran through my Zing.  What a challenge!!

Layout: Oh Tom...

Happy CHA weekend everybody!  Studio Calico is hosting an Online Crop event in celebration of CHA!  You know what that means?  I'm going to be up very late all weekend doing challenges... This is my first online crop event so I'm excited to dive in.  But, of course, before I start a new project, I need to finish my old projects.

Old project finished!  Astonishingly quickly, too... Here's a quick layout I did for a sketch challenge over at life.paper.scrapbook.  I LOVED this sketch!!!  It was brilliant!!!  It also made for a really easy layout.  Strangely enough, the layout that took me the least amount of time is actually one of my favorites.

So one of the SC challenges tonight is to post a picture of your desk RIGHT NOW... So here is mine:
