Ten on the Tenth

I pinned this SMASH book entry awhile ago, and thought it would make a good layout for Ten on the Tenth. 

It gave me an excuse to break out the March Studio Calico kit. I really like the new Studio Calico “Classic Calico” alphabet. I had to use both fonts for the numbers since I needed two “ones.” I stamped the words with Papertrey Ink’s “Simple Alphabet,” definitely the most time consuming part of the layout. The patterned paper is Crate Paper’s Story Teller as is the border I cut apart. The die cut for the date and the buttons are Papertrey Ink, and the date is from the Studio Calico exclusive date stamp. I love these date stamps, but don’t find them very user-friendly. Here’s the journaling which may be a bit difficult to read. I’ve never mastered how to get my photos to enlarge in TypePad when you click on them.
