5th anniversary - challenge 1

For our fifth anniversary, we're doing a fun feature with some of our long time subscribers. They'll each be sharing a bit about themselves and what they love about Studio Calico.  We also asked each of them to issue a challenge to our design team - we'd love to see YOU take their challenges as well. Check the bottom of the post for more information! Thank you to these fabulous ladies for taking the time to help us out with our party!!

Say hello to  :  Emily Spahn (you'll find her on the message boards / gallery as justem)

She blogs at : http://justem.typepad.com

Her favorite kit : seriously? yikes! I think maybe Lawn Party. :)

Her favorite SC line : Memoir

Tell us a little bit about you & why you love SC : I have met some wonderful people through Studio Calico.  It's been my online "home" for the past five years.  Even though I don't post as much as some, I'm always there, lurking! ;) I love the camaraderie, especially amongst those who have been around "forever."  The kits make it easy to scrap and are always a perfect combination of products that match, but aren't matchy! ;)  Thanks to April and everyone at SC for making it such a wonderful place to be a part of!

Her favorite project made with SC : This is an older favorite! Four (kit - Granny's Cupboard)

Emily's challenge to the design team : Then and Now - Find a layout from 5 years ago and scraplift it with your current style.

Here's what three of our designers did with the challenge :

(Stephanie Howell - to my girls)

(Davinie Fiero - PJ)

(Laura Kurz - November 2011)

We'd love to see YOUR take on Emily's challenge!  Link your project here by July 9th for a chance to win our May kit, 35mm. We can't wait to see what you make!

Thanks for including me in the celebration! :)

I've never linked a layout to a studio calico thread before, so not sure if I'm doing this right?

Here is my take on this challenge.

I posted the old layout and the new one. I also discovered that I have no "current style"!

I don't know if I have changed all that much in 5 years!

Ok, well, this was the ONLY challenge I completed. *sigh*

I liked the circles and the idea of Today on this LO:

I wanted to do the Today on it as well, but it didn't work out. TFL!
