Studio Calico Thataway

My January Design Team assignment for Scrappin' Goodtime was to create projects using products from Studio Calico's Thataway line. I received 8 double-sided papers, a package of stickers, and a package of wood pieces. This is a travel themed line: one of the papers is a map of the United States, the stickers are individual states, and the wood veneers have the names of major US cities.

I started by creating two travel layouts, adding in a few items from my stash to go along with the kit papers. This first one documents the day trip we took to Oklahoma the day after we purchased Robbie's new car back in 2011.

The second layout honors two dear friends that I stop to visit on my way down to my sister's house. I try to have a late breakfast with one and a late lunch with the other, which often leaves me arriving later than I thought but full of good memories with these dear ladies.

With some of the remaining papers and wood pieces, I created a travel journal that I bound with my Bind-It-All.
I believe this line was introduced at last summer's CHA show. Have you used any of these products? What did you create with them?

  2. Love your layouts and your layers. I have not seen this collection either. The travel journal is the perfect way to use up bits like that.

  3. Great job using up those products! I haven't seen or used any of it. I buy so little in the way of paper products any more - mostly still slogging my way through my "stash" or creating digital.

  4. Lovely layouts - how fun to get photos with both of your friends together on a page. That album looks great for the next trip you and Robbie take - gives you an excuse too!

    I saw the collection last year but didn't buy any. Don't tend to use heavily themed or US stuff very often.

  7. Great layouts! I haven't seen any of that line, but I'm quite sure I could put some of it to good use with all the traveling we've done.
