Birthday Combos

Today I needed two birthday cards. After getting started, I decided that I would make matching calendars. I am going to just let the cards speak for themselves. I let the pretty papers be the focal points on the cards and calendars. Most pieces were from the scrap box -- there are so many treasures hiding in that box. I have also been trying to decorate the inside of my cards as well. It takes a little extra time, but it is so worth it.

2014

I cannot believe that it has been so long since I posted anything to my blog. I have found that it has been hard to get back on track since Christmas. Today I want to post some pictures of Calendars I made. The design is one that I did after looking and seeing many different samples on Pinterest, Splitcoast Stampers and other wonderful blogs. My finished calendar measured 4 1/4 by 4 1/4 inches. I purchased the calendar pad from SkyBluePink.com. They made great little gifts tucked inside other things. The work of so many wonder paper crafters has inspired me over the past years. To you -- I say "Thank you!"

This Week's Cards

I have been busy making cards for a November Craft Show and not posting very much. I would like to share three cards from this week's work. This card was my first with Stampin' Up's Flower Shop stamp set. I got the stamp set and punch with some birthday money I was given in September.

 

On Thursday night I had a class on "fancy fold" cards, and, in preparation for the class, I made this calendar triangle easel card. It was a big hit.
