This calendar is such a great idea! I already bought one for my BFF, but I want one, too!

please shoot me an email at emilygpitts at gmail dot com and i'll get your information to catherine so she can mail your beautiful calendar out to you. 

in other news, i'm having a lovely december, enjoying the slower pace i've prescribed for myself. my christmas tree is decorated and it's CUTE. i changed things up a bit this year, i'll take pictures soon. i've got christmas presents mailed. boxes are arriving from my massive online ordering spree last week. i've been scrapping, but in manageable blocks, i will have sneaks for the january studio calico kit very soon. it's been a surprise hit for me. i like it when that happens. :) but to satiate, here's one of the sneaks that was on the website last week as well a second shot of the same layout.

betty crocker • blank canvas paint • charcoal black paint

for more sneaks from the other team members, click on the image below. i can tell i wasn't the only one enjoying the kits :)

and a layout i did for the crate paper blog, it's based on the sketch challenge featuring our tree from years past (if you have time, you should play along, the prize is very generous!):

and if you're at all wondering what to get for the scrapbooker in your life, may i humbly suggest the gift of inspiration from studio calico? a gift card would satisfy any scrapper's wish list, and it's so easy to do.
