that's right...Studio Calico is jumping into the manufacturing side of the scrapbook world with both feet. their first full line is called 'Home Front', and it is guaranteed to be a hit...they've taken the feedback they've received from aaaaalll of their paper releases this year and put together a line that can be used for just about anything.BUT, it will not be available for direct purchase from their site for another 2 months...it will initially only be available at your favorite LOCAL SCRAPBOOK STORES and ONLINE SITES. that's right...they believe in supporting those stores (both brick & mortar and cyber) that sometimes feel the pinch when lines are released to everybody and their brother straight out of the box, lol. so for now, you have to ask your fave store or site to order this line...more details on that at the end of this post!
let's just see what we have...
FabRips...Studio Calico's signature adhesive fabric strips that can be used a jillion different ways. what i love most is that you can streeeeetch them to last longer, just snip the end of the pattern you want to use in the width you want and RIIIIIIP!!
i mean come on...are you kidding me? here's the specs on the alpha stickers: 199 characters, 2 different fonts, 2 sizes, upper AND lower case charcoal grey (which is impossible to find, but HUGE right now) and WOODGRAIN. say no more.
this may be my fave part of the release...i have long professed my love for label stickers, so here they are with SC's unique twist. AND they've included a few borders...SOMEBODY STOP ME!!
wait...did i say the label stickers were my fave part? i actually think it's a tie between the labels and these JOURNALING CARDS. THEY ARE DOUBLE SIDED...AND THE BACKS ARE LEDGER. i'm flipping out here, people.
this little gem has fun written all over it. well, technically i don't see the word 'fun', but you know what i mean lol. and...as i mentioned...CHARCOAL GREY on the reverse with little pops of color.

my girl Davinie nearly had a panic attack when she saw this paper...she is having heart palpitations over the B side. i mean, kraft-ish color with houses all over it? can't you think of 18732123 ways to use this?!
teal + muted orange/coral = nirvana. enough said.
the dress pattern paper has been revamped...i for one am digging the blue/green scheme, as Allie is pretty much in lust with that combo so i should be able to use it tons. note: ledger on B side alert.
but it just may be this pattern that is my fave of the bunch...they've updated one of their signature patterns, the scallops in rows...AND added a cool new twist to the B side.
now this one, this is truely unique. lots of woodgrain running around out there right now...but, as usual, SC has twisted it a bit. this one is patterned after an old farmhouse wooden floor...in the most heavenly shade of yellow i've seen in quite some time. note: floor plan on the B side is just happy happy.
