The Story of Sketchbook

So I've only ever heard fabulous things about the Kelly Purkey Sketchbook classes. Everyone raves about them! She's about to launch into a brand new installment in her series over in the Studio Calico Classroom, and I for one cannot wait!

Signing up for the class gives you access to all the videos and PDF's of course, it will also include 72 new sketches, 12 new projects from Kelly herself and 48 other projects from the Studio Calico Creative Team and other well-known crafters. Above is a sneak of the layout I'm contributing. It's delightfully garishly bright and rainbow coloured isn't it?!

My page took it's colour direction from the fun Journal Cards that you can get separately from the SC Shop. There's still plenty of time to bundle in these purchases with the rest of your Kit and Add Ons if you're getting them now. These also a coordinating Badge Set which I've used on my page too - you can see a sneak of that part on my Instagram feed ;-)

But even if you don't get any of the extras, when you sign up to the class you'll get .... wait for it...

a freely shipped 4x6" stamp set designed by Kelly! My understanding is that these are still available!
And speaking of free... there's also instant free access to the digital files which include these matching Printables:

and these Cutting Files too...

If you're interested in being a part of this fun class you better rush over and get signed up now because registration closes on the 30th! Perhaps I'll see you in the Classroom beginning May 5th?

My Reveal Day Shopping List

So the countdown is on and the May Studio Calico Camelot Kits are going to be released real soon! Love this time of month don't you? The excitement is building and my fingers are itching to get clicking. I always use this time to start bundling things into my cart so I can just hit "Checkout" after I've popped in an Add On (or two!) I may or may have 14 things in my cart already... not even joking! Let me share some of the things that have caught my attention lately....

1. Kelly Purkey designed this fabulous Craft Die for her upcoming Sketchbook Class. It punches out these cute 1" circle embellishments that I just want to sprinkle everywhere!
2. I'm really excited about my Sketchpens again after using them in my experimental card I shared earlier in the month. These new Glitter Pens have got my mind whirring with possibilities.
3. Studio Calico are on the verge of their new release "South of Market" with product expected to start shipping in mid-May. You can pre-order the Whole Bundle now though (yes, every paper, letter sticker and embellishment!) for a very reasonable price and with FREE domestic shipping!
4. The members started talking about the Zig Wink of Stella Brushes on the boards one day and before the sun set Studio Calico had promised to order them in! They've arrived, but I anticipate they're going to go really fast. Better get yours now ;-)
5. I've been falling more and more in love with the Cosmo Cricket Patterned Vellum Pad every time Julie Comstock adds a new picture on her Instagram account. So many things I want to make with this.
6. Coming full circle I'm ending my list with another Kelly Purkey designed product - this time it's her Journal Cards. Can you tell I'm really REALLY excited about the Sketchbook Class?
