Cosmo Cricket designers

Our April kit, Singin' in the Rain, contained two beautiful double sided patterned papers and a sheet of labels designed just for us by Cosmo Cricket. To celebrate this collaboration, we invited three friends of Cosmo to work their magic with the main kit. These ladies did a wonderful job, and we're excited to be able to bring you a little extra inspiration this month! Each of these designers put their own spin on the kit, and we are loving what they've done with it.

First up is Wendy Sue Anderson!

Hi everyone! I'm Wendy Sue Anderson, a member of the Cosmo Cricket design team, and I am SO excited to be sharing some of my layouts with you today! This was my first experience working with a Studio Calico Kit. Oh my word...why has it taken me so long?!? I LOVED the selection of products, loved that everything coordinated (making my normal product picking process much much easier), loved the variety of types of embellishments (buttons, chipboard, twine, etc.), and this time around, I LOVED that Cosmo Cricket created some products exclusively for Studio Calico! Cosmo and Studio make a great team! Thanks so much, Cosmo Cricket, and Studio Calico, for inviting me to join in the fun today! :o)

Next we have expert card maker, Debbie Olsen.

Debbie Olson is a designer with a passion for teaching. WIth an background in graphic design and education, papercrafting was a natural outlet for fulfilling the creative urge on a time-budget. She has been privileged to work with many industry leaders, including several stamp companies, paper and accessory companies, and a marker company, and die company.

In her non-papercrafting free time, she plays piano, works with stained glass, and enjoys spending time with her husband and eleven-year-old son in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

And last but not least, Heidi Sonboul!

I think most people know by now that I LOVE scrapbooking. I started scrapbooking when I was 11 and have grown to love it more and more each year. I love color and a GOOD piece of pattern paper. I love trying all styles and I heart getting my Studio Calico kit in the mail each month :)

I had the best time working with this kit, because of it's fun colors and patterns. I loved the personality Cosmo Cricket's papers and stickers brought to the kit. I heart that green polkdot and you can see that I used every piece of it haha.
