Nichol Inspired!







I just posted last night that I love Nichols work and was about to put together a page kit when the pictures struck me as a perfect selection/size to use for scraplifting one of her sketches. Its one of her year in review pages, the may one. I used layering, punches, my new studio calico kit with the exclusive crate paper in it. Letter stickers are Octover Afternoon, label stickers are October Afternoon and the little date label is Studio Calico. I also used one of the butterflies from yesterdays post. I tried out my typewriter on the little tab sticking out the side of the page and my typewriter was less than helpful! I will need to go back over it with a fine tip black pen.

stamping







So I have recently fallen in love with Nichol Magouirks style and watch her videos the minute she posts a new one (one a week isnt enough!). She uses a lot of stamping in her scrapbooking and I love the look of it. She seems to use minimal embellishments except for stamping, pattern papers, and label stickers. LOVE the look of this. She may have inspired many new stamp purchases recently...... woops!



So tonight i decided to sit down and play a little with some of these new stamps. The butterflies are a total copy cat move of hers for studio calico and love them.
