The Studio Calico Wendy kit |
On Wednesday Studio Calico released their March kit, which were named after the Peter Pan movie, for sale. They sold out in . record time both during the subscriber presale and the midnight reveal. I'm one of those disappointed souls who didn't get the add-ons they wanted. But let's face it - I have plenty of supplies. So I've shopped my stash, added a couple of new things and made my own version of the add-ons. Today I am sharing my version of "Wendy." This is the official list of the contents of the kit Studio Calico offered.

Patterned Paper:

Pop (Studio Calico/Heyday/ B side)
Thoughtful (American Crafts/Amy Tangerine/Yes Please collection)
Understand (American Crafts/Amy Tangerine/Yes Please collection)
Penny's Pinafore (Sassafrass/Sweetly Smitten collection)
Trust (American Crafts/Amy Tangerine/Yes Please collection)
I replaced the clothespins with brad and the speech bubbles with the wood chips - both switches that substtituted products that are better suited to my style than the products in the original kit. And it cost a fraction of the add-on at Studio Calico. And since I'm not much of a stamper, I won't miss the stamps; I added label stickers instead. But if they were important to me, I would add the digital images from the SC shop. And I had fun putting it together and rediscovered some things in my stash that I had forgotten about. Now I can't wait to do my versions of the Hook and Lost Boys add-ons.
I'm hoping to have time to play in my scrap room this weekend. Hope you get to do something fun too. Enjoy your Saturday.

You did a great job with reworking your stash. I really need to start watching those kit sales and making my own from my stash, maybe it would help me break out of my need to scrap from single lines/manufacturers?
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that you used the SC kit as a jumping off point and created your own kit. I LOVE doing that! I'm overdue for creating my own kit for March. :)
