Calendar Book Part #2

It's hard to believe this is the last day of 2010! I hope you have some fun plans for the evening. Below are the next four months of my sister's calendar.

May, another beautiful stamp from Memory Box.

June, the butterfly, from Memory Box was stamped with Color Box Robin's Egg ink. I then stamped the butterfly wing with this cute flowered paper and attached it to the butterfly.

July, I cut the seashells from an Outline Rubber stamp and colored the shells with Copic Markers. I added a little smooch for some glitz.

August, is from the collage stamp above. I don't know about you but I could sure use a day at the beach collecting seashells.

May God Bless You in the New Year!

Calendar Book

I wanted to share the calendar I made for my sister. I will show you four months today. I used Marjolaine paper pad from BasicGrey. I love this paper.

For January I used a digital image from Chi Chi Memories. What an adorable snowman who was colored with Copic Markers. I added a little glitz using a silver gel pen and black and orange Spica pens.

February was on of my favorites from Outline Rubber Stamps. Colored with Copic Markers and I added Siren smooch to the hearts.

March is a beautiful butterfly stamp from Outline. Colored with Copics and the details were enhanced with a silver glitter pen and a Black Spica pen.

April's stamp is from Memory Box. I used a nice spring time green to these sweet butterflies.

Which one is your favorite?

Butterfly Invasion


What a difference a day makes. It was so beautiful and sunny when I drove home it reminded me of March then I told myself March is couple of months away. However, these butterflies bring a touch of spring time to a beautiful winter day.

The butterfly stamp is from Outline Rubber stamps which I received for Christmas from my wonderful husband. Below are two that I made in different colors and paper.

For the yellow butterfly I used:
Copic - Y28, YR21, YR02, Y38, Y21 - silver gel pen, black Spica pen and Pumpkin Smooch. I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distressed Ink. For the mat I used Spellbinders Peony.

Blue Butterly:
Copic - Y28, B02, B04, B06, B41 -silver gel pen, black Spica Pen and Ocean Soul Smooch. I inked the edges with Tim Holz Broken China Distressed Ink. I used the same Spellbinder for the mat as for the yellow.

Thanks for visiting. Watch for the calendar creation tomorrow.

2010 Christmas Cards


I finally got inspired. Yesterday I went shopping with my scrap-a-holic friends and found the final pieces for my cards. The paper is "Winter Joy Bundled" by Bo Bunny; I just love the bright festive colors in the paper. I used the Crystal Snowflake from Memory Box and the inner snowflake is from the Martha Stewart punch Nordic Snowflake. Each snowflake was misted with Old Lace Glimmer Mist. I used the Amuse stamp Vintage Merry Christmas which is embossed with Zing Silver embossing powder. Lastly, for the final touch I added some green ribbon. Tomorrow my husband will mail them! On to the next project.
