Let the Elementary Preview Begin!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite Studio Calico release to date.

I'm not just saying this because I have to....seriously, I love it. The colors and images just speak to me and I hope you like it, too. So, without further adieu, here's Elementary:

You may have seen this cute dog before if your kit was packed by Joy. I fell in love with him and I'm so glad Stephen decided to use him on these journal cards. Side note: the original design also included a sheep card, but I vetoed it because although cute, I thought it was a little unusable. Your thoughts?

As always, this collection includes self-adhesive fabric strips that we call "FabRips." I'm particularly fond of the ruler along the right side. All types of uses there and with a little baby girl coming in November, I'm thinking it'll be the perfect strip to add to a page once I know her official length.

The label stickers have gotten fond reviews by our Design Team who saw a preview of this line weeks ago. I was particularly surprised that several of them liked the squirrel the best.
Finally a green alphabet! It's simple, but it will be one of the most used alphas on my desk for sure.
New to this release are our die cut papers available in pink and blue. Perfect for your boys or girls....and not necessarily school-themed, so let your creativity run wild.

This paper is appropriately named: Show Your Work. On the B side, there's vintage report cards from none other than Warren County schools, the county of Studio Calico.
This paper is named "Penmanship" and it has been the most requested by the design team thus far.
Nibbles is Kelly Noel's favorite and I must admit, it's one of mine as well. You may recognize the little pattern on the B side, similar to the larger orange pattern in the Documentary release. We liked it so much, we weren't ready to put it to bed quite yet, so it's available with Elementary, too.
This paper is named "Library" and is based on an old school primer we picked up somewhere along the way.
Harper's Rule paper is named after none other than Nicole Harper. She has eyes like a hawk and spotted a nice ruler at a flea market that we borrowed for creating this paper.

And, last but not least is "Atmosphere" the name Stephen likes the most of all the line. On the B side is a play on a note card that was previously designed. Some of you may recognize the pattern if you attended a CKC or had something missing in your kits and we wrote you a note. We've had lots of requests to make it into a full-size paper, so that we did.

Please let me know your top 3 favorite items from this release for a chance to win this collection. Contest closes tomorrow at noon EST when I'll post some more of our new release and a new contest will begin. So.....let the comments begin!!!!

It's all your fault!!! :P )

norine said...

Mmmm AWEsome collection!!! Love the Apple paper for starters! And the alpha stickers - ALWAYS love those and the fabrips are FAB!!

Darlene S. said...

These are so cute! Can each of us have just ONE as a tease?? Hehe!

My favorites are tough to choose.. let me try to pick..

::points down list:: Eni mini mini mo, catch a tiger by his toe. If you like him let him go. Eni mini mini mo!

I love both pink and blue die cut papers, especially because of the neat pattern.
The Rule paper is sooo fabulous! I just love the detail and retro feel!
The journaling cards are super duper cute! I think it was a more practical choice to use the puppy instead of sheep, because puppys seem to go better with a school theme overall. That is, unless you're Mary, and everywhere you went, your lamb was sure to go. Maybe that silly lamb follows you to school afterall!

Thanks for the chance! :)

Rhian said...

I love it all but I love the apple paper, blue die cut and atmosphere the most.
