Happy Mail

Hello! I hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season. This is fun page about opening my monthly Studio Calico package. This month, my order came a few days after I finished up my term papers and exams, and I was quite eager and ready to dig in.

The paper I used as a background has lots of little details, so to tone things down, I used a 12x12 vellum sheet over top. I like how the vellum softens everything. When I first saw the alphas in the "Murray Hill" add-on, I didn't really like them, but they ended up working well with the page. I had to reposition the title a few times as I kept changing my mind. The alphas weren't very sticky anymore, so I sewed them down for extra security. The rest of the design is pretty standard, but I really like how all the colors look together.





Thanks for stopping by!
