Hello friends!!
Today is Day 13! Already almost halfway through the month! How are you liking the video-a-then this month? I have actually had more fun doing it than I thought I was going to. I thought I was going to stress out about it, but it's really been fun, not stressful like I thought it would be!
Funny enough... even though this a stash kit that was made over a year ago with no photos in mind there was still a February 4x6" card in the kit that was perfect for the title card for this layout! I get asked all the time about coordinating a stash kit before I pick out my photos... for me, it just always works out. Regardless of what I pick to go in the stash kit, I can always find photos that just work with it. Sometimes I pick some specific items, but most of the items in my kits are general and can be used with just about any photo.A few links for the products I used...- Studio Calico website (this is where most of the cards and papers I used today are from): https://www.studiocalico.com- Jen Hadfield Everyday collection 6x6" pad (the wood grain paper): amzn.to/2WzpF5b- Sakura Pen-Touch opaque white 1.0 mm quick dry pen: amzn.to/2RSO2r2
