A New Year!

Hi everyone! Well, we only have a few more days left until the new year so I thought I would get ready with my first calendar card. 

Our design team challenge this week over at Cornish Heritage Farms is to create a calendar card.

This cute little dog will bring a smile to my face every day! It is called "Beggin Dog Stamp" and you can find the digital image over at Cornish Heritage Farms. The sentiment is from the rubber stamp set called "Birthday Greetings."

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!

Calendar Card Holder - VectoriaDesigns

Hi everyone! Happy Friday. I am here today to share with you a calendar I made using the Alice in Wonderland Calendar from VectoriaDesigns. 

I love calendar cards. They make great gifts. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to give a calendar card that also houses all subsequent months? It would be a gift that someone could use all year long.

So I decided to make a tri-fold card and made sure I scored about 1/2 inch on the side panels to make sure I had room to hold the extra calendar pages. 

I created a little flap on the inside and attached a couple of brads to be able to hold the calendar pages in place. I decorated the side panels with some designer paper to match the theme of the calendar. 

The buckle and the ribbon worked perfectly to hold the calendar book closed. I also added some metal embellishments. 

Each calendar is 7.5" x 4.9". The printable holds all 12 months. Click HERE to go directly to the image. You will find other calendars as well in this section which also work great for your calendar projects. 

Thanks for stopping by!

December Calendar Card and a little Blog Candy

This post will stay at the top until November 9th. Please scroll down for newer posts.

Hello all. You may not know, but I am fairly new to the blogging community.  I started this blog  on July 31st. My very first post was entitled Are greeting cards an endangered species. Well by the amount of card makers I have run across, I would say not.  I thought this blog would be a fun way to share ideas and new techniques as well as showcase some of the cards through card challenges...while making a few friends along the way.

Since then, I have become part of a Design Team (DT) for a newly forming Card Challenge Blog called Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge Blog. Challenges will begin on Saturday November 2nd and run weekly. Details of the first challenge will be posted on Saturday October 19th. The first challenge is offering a $20 Gift Certificate by Lacy Sunshine and Suzy is also offering a drawing for some Blog Candy. That drawing will be held on Saturday December 14th, which is just in time for Christmas.  Pop over and become eligible to win this fun prize.

I also recently created a Blog Button For TaylorMadeCards4U and wanted to share it with everyone.

I thought it would be fun to have a give-away while sharing my Blog button, so I decided to have a drawing for one of my December Card Calendars and a set of 4 Holiday Christmas cards.
