Not sure about Elmwood Park…but it surely is hot & dry in Elizabethtown KY! whew.
What’s this Elmwood Park stuff, you ask? AH…Studio Calico July kit. I went nuts. LOL. Ain’t that an understatement. I purchased the main kit+ four add-on kits + extra patterned paper + stuff from the shop. Six point one pounds of papercrafting goodies…right to my doorstep from Bowling Green KY. woot! PLUS I have a 3 inch stack of photos I just picked up from Walgreens. WHOO HOO! Sandwiches for supper last night AND again tonight. 😉 Good thing it’s hot. Dale likes sandwiches for supper when it’s hot outside. 😉
Where was I? Oh yes. I used a sketch from Let’s Scrap (7-4-12). The sketch featured a sunburst and a link to a tutorial to create your own sunburst from patterned paper! I love it! I stitched the edges of the papers down with a zig zag stitch…I love sewing on paper! I will say, this double page spread took at least four hours.

Here’s a close up of the zig zag stitching and the stacked paper & tin medallion in the midst of the sunburst!
I outlined around the title to make it stand out more. I never thought I would like…ahem…birds. But these wood veneer birds from Studio Calico are so darn cute! I saw these stacked on a sneak peek…and just could not resist using that idea in my layout!

A close-up of the temperature ranges 12 hours apart. I added the lettering to the photo & used a 9 to 5 tin pin.
Here’s a close up of the stacked star medallion. Again, using die-cuts + buttons from the Studio Calico July Kit + Add-Ons. The scallop trim was created using Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Trim die.

I’m so loving the Studio Calico kits and the Let’s Scrap sketches. I’m super excited about the possibilities…I hope I can continue to find time to scrap.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a moo’valous day!
Melissa, I love these pages. I think you did well to get them done in only four hours. Wow, lots of planning here. love the little birds too. stacked like that. I wouldn't have known what to do with 'em
LOVE your pages, Melissa! I love the starburst! It looks like a lot of work but so worth it in the end!
I said starburst…I ment SUNburst!!!
