Project Life: Studio Calico Poet Society Review & A Giveaway

UPDATED:
Congrats Meliandre! You are the randomly selected winner!  Email me your information and I will send it on over to Studio Calico (stephanie @ stephaniemakes.com).
Just love your spread!
I'm curious to see if I can do something that amazing with a SC kit...never tried but it's so tempting :)


Hey hey! Happy Friday friends!
I'm so excited to share a few of my new favorite Project Life spreads with you today!!  I put together these two spreads using this month's Poet Society kit from Studio Calico.  I'm also super excited to giveaway one Project Life kit (Poet Society) to a lucky reader, as well as offer you a discount code on a new subscription!  Be sure to read all the way to the bottom!!

Like always, the Project Life kit from Studio Calico is jam-packed with goodness!!  The journaling cards have a perfect mix of colors, phrases and white space!  And all of the embellishments are divine!  My plan was to put together one spread for my album, but once I started, I couldn't stop!!  

I created a typical Design A spread, as well as one insert which I trimmed to 9x12 inches.  I love mixing in sizes and having spreads peeking out and tucked in within my album. 

Let's take a look!



First up is a regular spread from July.  This was the week that my daughter started kindergarten so I included a lot of details about that week, some Q&A with her and a little experience we had with a certain white uniform shirt the first day of school.  It's so awesome that I have a place to record these memories.  I always like to "think" that I will remember the whys/hows/whens, but I know they will soon fade with time.  Thank you Project Life!



I broke my own rules and used a 3x4 photo in one of the 4x6 photos.  I had it on hand and it worked so perfectly with the Q&A journaling card that I just had to include it that way!  I love it when my journaling leads the way of my spread.



The right side of my spread is more of the same....photos and words.  Marcy's "Are you picking up what I'm throwing down?" printable card was PERFECT for the dinosaur wars my husband and son were having in the photo above!!  


Here are a few detail shots: 





The Studio Calico kits come with so many awesome cards and I just couldn't stand to pack my kit up and put them away after completing just one spread.  I loved all the different graphic and filler cards from this kit and really wanted to use them together in a spread.  Since I typically fill most of my spots with photos, I usually only have a few spots left for pretty cards!  So...I decided to print out my July 12 on the 12th photos and add an insert into the July section of my album.  


I knew I wanted to use the 3x3 inch square page protector from October Afternoon, so I started this spread by trimming 1/2 inch off the top and bottom of the journaling cards.  Don't feel like you have to use them as they are!  Get your scissors out and get creative!!  To keep with the uniformity of the spread, I printed my photos each at 3x3 inches.  


I added some simple journaling about my photos and our day, as well as a few embellishments here and there. 


Since these photos cover one entire day, I didn't really have too much journaling to add to my spread. I kept it simple and clean, which also keeps it super easy!  It's all about the photos anyway, right??


I tucked a little love note from my daughter in one of the pockets.  I love seeing how her writing has evolved over the past few years. 



I also continued my favorite way of journaling, which is typing directly onto my photos!  Cropping in white space for journaling is a must for me!


And there you have it!!  Fast, easy and super fun!!  Two more spreads in my album and July is officially documented!!  

Now do you want to know the best part??  Not only am I giving away one Poet Society Project Life kit to a lucky reader, but I also have a coupon for $10 off your first kit if you start a 6-month subscription at Studio Calico!  Just add a 6-month subscription to your cart and enter STEPHANIEBRYAN in the coupon code at checkout!  This code expires on September 12th at midnight EST!  

To win your very own Poet Society Project Life kit, just leave a comment here on this blog post and I will randomly select a winner this Sunday evening!  Good luck and happy creating!
