Not Always Easy

I have to admit that although I am loving the fact that I'm finally signed up for the Studio Calico kits, I wasn't that impressed with the second kit I received which was 'Continental'. But I know that you can't suit all the people all the time, and when you subscribe you have to expect that you're not going to adore every single kit. So I've only made one lone layout so far with this kit - and it was months ago. (And never fear because the next three kits after this one have been incredible and I can't wait to get my hands on them. I haven't got them yet because of the arrangement I've made with a friend as we subscribe together...... long story!)

However, it did come just at the right time for something. I had just been cleaning out the closets in order to pack and move houses and came across some long lost photos of me from high-school. For example - this photo is our Year 11 Chemistry class (that's me second from the right in the back row). And the colours in these Girl's Paperie On Holiday papers and the general theme of the kit were absolutely perfect! I was also really happy with the fact that I had just purchased the notebook punch at the same time - another perfect embellishment for this page!

Umm.... yes... I didn't realise my 'A' had shifted when I took the photos of the layout until I uploaded them :-)

And I'm impressed with my own cleverness at cutting out those numbers from the paper to incorporate into the catchy title from the Jackson 5ive song "ABC, it's easy as 1,2,3"

But overall..... still don't really like this layout.
Oh well. You win some, you lose some!!
