Last November Hubby and I went to South Carolina for a weekend getaway that just happened to include my first Cricut Circle meet-up.  Yay!  It was also the first time we left the littlest home alone over night with a sitter. Yikes! We were told she was a perfect angel.   She napped well.  She ate well.  She even stayed in her stroller during her older brother’s soccer game. Hmmm, I’m not sure I believe all this.

So imagine my surprise the next morning when I turned my back for just a quick second and heard, ” I Stuck Momma!”  She had climbed into my bookcase and couldn’t get out!   I had to pull her out by her feet!!  And of course like any toddler, she did it again. This time I was ready with my camera.

I used the January County Fair kit from Studio Calico for this layout. I’m taking Amy Tangerine’s Stretch Your Kit class and loving every minute of it. It seems I have become addicted to scrap booking kits, so it’s about time I was pushed into using them.

The details~

I used~

Mini Monograms for the letters in momma -Cut at 2.25″  I also used the negative of this cut.  I think it made it stand out better against the wood grain paper.

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More for the journaling tags -Cut at 3″

Elegant Edges for the border -Cut at 3″

Swiss Dot embossing folder,

Items from the kit include~Studio Calico Wood Veneer Letters, SC Chipboard pieces, Letter/Woodgrain  paper, Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar paper, OA’ s Sasparilla Stagecoach paper

In fact I’ve stretched this kit SO far I have bits and pieces that I can’t remember the brand. But, I guess that’s a good thing!
