***********************************************
Here is my first project with this yummy line. I LOVE the colors! I love that you can make it bright or softer! I can’t wait to make more! The family tree “title” is from the sheet of odds & ends. My brain immediately thought about that quote about fruits and nuts, and this photo came to mind. I’ve already used this photo before, but I love it so much I had to use it again. We ARE a little nutty!!!
I love the FabRips in this line! They make PERFECT pleated flowers!
April asked us to say something about our homes in these posts…I’m not really sure what to say about it though. I don’t love it. I’m not very “at home” here. My family makes me feel at home though, so wherever they are, I’m home. I left my heart on the East Coast. God has done a LOT of work on me and my family here on the West Coast, but my true heart is still with my mom and dad and brothers and sister in laws and nephews and nieces on the East Coast. Someday we’ll make it back to them, but until then…here I am.

A pity, you don’t really feel at home, but it’s really like the quote says: home is where your heart is…and a piece of your heart always stays with your family..

i can relate to feeling like home is where your family is… my family has started to disperse across the country, and i’m always finding myself looking forward to the next time we’ll all be together.

Love your layout with the gorgeous homefront line. Cute to see a non serious family photo that shows people personalities. Thanks for a chance to win!
Can’t wait to see all of the work done with the new line!!!
I love the fab-rips pleated flower on your layout, too, as well as your useage of the ampersand stamp and the “family tree” element from the line! Your comment about your home reminds me of one of the explanations my Humanities professor – herself a classics scholar – gave for why, in The Odyssey, it’s so vital for Odysseus to actually return to Ithaca, given that he has so many opportunities to thrive elsewhere – her explanation is that for the Greeks in this period, you can not truly be your ultimate self unless you are home, where everyone is conscious of your renown, et al. Thus, I suspect that you can blame Homer for your sense of displacement!
I hope you are able to return home for the holidays! Best wishes!
What a fun pic and page! Sorry you are so far from your family, I know how you feel…mine is way across the country too, it’s been very hard to get used to. hugs!
Danielle

You girls are doing such a lovely job showcasing this awesome new line!
I’m sure it’s difficult being away from family . . . although I’ve never moved away from mine, my older sister and her family left all of us here in Eastern WA and moved to NJ . . . we miss them everyday! Such a FUN LO . . . and I LOVE the quote!
East Coast is the best! I know you will get back there one day
Cute layout idea!

Homefront is fabulous – I’m so excited about the woodgrain alphas.

(p.s. if i mistakenly entered twice, I’m sorry! i think my browser did something funny with my last attempt at a comment)
Cool layout..love it..totally inspirational.
I totally get what you are feeling…my parents are living in another country and I only get to see them twice a year? I missed living with them…
Love your layouts. Love the pleated flowers. Could you share how you make them?
Love the new SC! Hope you make your way back to be with your family someday! Have a great day!
Your layout is wonderful! I think that saying applies to my family too! I have some fabrips from a previous SC kit but have been afraid to use them. Now I am super inspired to make some flowers. I am lving the colors in the new line!
Thanks for the opportunity to win. here’s hoping…
Awesome layout! love the fab flowers!!
I love how you used those “extras” like the FabRips and the odds and ends sheet. I know what you mean about being with your extended family. I’m not that far away from my parents and sisters, but I always wish we could live next to each other.
I know exactly how you feel. We’ve lived here for 4 years, and while my family is close by, this town has never felt like “home” to me. Hopefully someday soon, there will be a change and it will be better—for both of us!
WOW! Your page is so detailed! I love it!!!
Love all the new products! You made a great layout!
gorgeous gorgeous!!
Love your layouts. Love the new collection.
My husband moved away from his family, 9 years ago now. He isn’t the happiest here, but fortunately his family has a summer home about 3.5 hours away, so we are able to meet up with them a lot. I was the baby & couldn’t leave my family. Lucky for me, my DH let me stay.
Love that pleated flower. The colour and the texture!
I love Home Front
Your lo is so cute. I can see why you love that pic so much!
I think this is my fav collection of all this year–no kidding. LOVE it all! And isn’t it nice to know your family’s not the only nutty one?!
We ALL have them!!!
je decouvre ton site grace a ce “concours” il est super , comme le kit d’ailleurs
Fruits and nuts. *snort* Sounds like our families would get along swimmingly, Joy.

Your layout is priceless!
Fantastic layout! Love those flowers!
Wonderful layout..I would love to take a picture like that of my family.
I love your layout. Thanks for the chance to enter.
Love your blog banner–what a nice motto
Home really is with family isn’t it? Hope you get to see yours over the holidays.
Oh! I feel for you! I just moved back “home” this past summer. It was a long time without living near our extended family but the wait was worth it. Homecoming was so sweet!
I just love that family photo! Hilarious!
Love this line!
WOW! Your page is so detailed! I love it!!!
Hugs
Cynthia
I love the banner too
It puts things into perspective and I’m glad scrapbooking comes in third place for you… lol. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the flowers – I will need to lift that idea – I hope someday you get back to where home feels comfortable – prayers for you to find that journey.
Love your layout. Darling. And I love the new line!
Love this collection! Want it, need it, fingers crossed.
i absolutely adore this collection! the colors and patterns are beautiful and those fab rips are perfection! thanks for the shot at the collection.
I love your layout and totally understand missing where you used to live. I am a stranger in South Texas and want to move back to my house in San Angelo….
I love your layout. I like that it shows a different feel that some of the others I have seen. I love the papers in this line and love that you can get such different looks with it.
I’m a newbie to SC and am so glad I found it just in time to get in on the excitement of Homefront.
Betsy
I looovee your lo…I so need one like that about my wacky family too…hope you make it back to the east coast soon. BTW- I really like you blog title; the world would be a much nicer place if we all loved in that order (including scrapbooking!– LOL). Thanks for the opp to win.
Love your layout!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful collection, I just love it!
I love your layout. I love Studio Calico
I love your layout. In particular i love the circles in the bottom of the page and I wonder how you made those gorgeous flowers.
Love your layout…that picture is just too funny! Hope you make it to the eastcoast too one day.
I totally understand what you mean when you say that you do not feel like home where you live. I lived almost 4 years of my life where I did not feel like home too but now I am very happy to be here in Germany again with my husband and babies. It is not the country where I was born, but I feel home here as I never felt before. I wish you find your place to call home soon. thanks for the giveway
Thanks for the chance to win… good luck finding “home” where ever you are!
pick me! pick me!

I absolutely love this line.
I really do!
and thanks for the oppurtunity to win it!
Love your layout! I’m off to make one of those great fab rip flowers too!
Great layout! I’m the same boat about where we live. It’s hard to feel “home” when it isnt’ somewhere you really want to be. Hopefully you’ll get than “homey” feeling back one day.
I love this blog hop and the giveaway! Hopefully you can be with family for the holidays!

Love the new line. I hope you find a home to love, soon!
LOVE this new line … and using the FabRips as flowers = perfection!
I’ve only lived in Southern California. I can’t imagine how it would be to move elsewhere, although I’ve dreamed about it many times.

Very cool! I would love to get to play with this line!

I hope i win…i love this line.
We left our family in the east also, only moved to the South. I love the area but I do miss our friends and family. I’m happy though b/c I am where I need to be.

wow! love your blog! what a great occasion to discover new inspiring blogs! thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the chance to win!
LOVE your layout and LOVE studio calico!
My “home” will always be wherever my family is too – I will probably always miss the East Coast compared to the southern state I currently live in, but I’ve also learned that there are advantages and disadvantages to everything. And I’ve learned that as long as there is room in your heart, there’s room in your home
Such a great layout!
Thanks for the chance to win
Thanks for the chance to win…I’d love to have more papers to donate for my scrapbook therapy program at my local hospital.
Love the layout!
