Hello everyone!!
I've been looking at these snow pictures from January since I printed them and I've been wanting to work with them, but every kit I've been using has more springy/summery feels to them so I haven't had an opportunity to scrapbook them. Well today I'm changing my plan and I made a page kit (or rather just a giant pile of supplies from Elle's Studio) to use in today's layout. I am pretty much just using Elle's Studio but I do pull in a few little extra things I decided I needed as I was going along...
I specifically pulled out these Elle's Studio products for these photos because I know Elle's Studio has these beautiful dark blues and bright whites in their papers. I'm not sure why, but I always think dark blue goes with snow photos for some reason. I think the pops of white and teal and grey really work well with and contrast well with the dark blue background paper.
I only used about 10% of the things I pulled out for this layout so instead of it just being a page kit like I intended (ha!) I'm going to make it a small mini kit and use it for at least one more layout. I make myself laugh when I look at my 'page kits' after I make the page I intended it for and I didn't even use half of the things I pulled out because I pulled out just that much stuff, haha!
This is not part of my 2018 Kit Review Series, but if you are looking for the Kit Review Resource Guide where I've got all the information from all the kits I've reviewed in the past, as well as this new one. Here is the link: designbymelody.wordpress.com/resources-and-tools
Here are also a few links to products I used to complete this layout in addition to a few items I always like to use: *if I don't have an item listed, that means either it's sold out or it's not offered any longer!*

![Studio Calico | 12x12” layout | This Day 01
I love this photo... I’ve been holding on to it for awhile (like 3 years) so it was time to get it scrapbooked! Calen wears a uniform to school consisting of a red polo shirt and navy pants or shorts which is actually why I haven’t scrapbooked it thus far because I couldn’t find papers that worked well enough with it. Well this old Studio Calico kit I found had this star die cut paper and a white/red patterned paper which totally worked with the photo so it was time to get it done!!
