Layout Share: "Thirteen"

I am really loving working with the May Studio Calico Kit Planetarium. As of Tuesday, May 28th at 10pm EST, this scrapbook kit is still available HERE. I love the combination of navy, yellow, pink, and coral in this kit. It just seems to work so beautifully with spring and pool photos this month. This is my second layout using the Planetarium Kit, you can find my first layout using this kit HERE. This layout came together relatively quickly (about 2 hours, and I had a lot of fun misting and using a bunch of different stamp sets. I love the subtle layers you get with stamping and throwing mist around is always my idea of a good time. I also included a letter to my son in a glassine envelope.  To use this bit of sentimental memorabilia on this particular layout, I just copied and resized Elliot's birthday letter from this blog post. I then printed it onto 8.5 x 11 inches and cut it down using a paper trimmer so that it would fit perfectly into the glassine envelope. I love using envelopes and pockets behind larger layers and having a pull-out journaling element. It is a great way to still get your story in without sacrificing design if you have a lot of writing to include. I highly recommend this technique.

Now for the layout:

Supplies Used:

• Studio Calico Planetarium Kit

• Studio Calico glassine envelope
