6X6 Desktop Calendar

After having to postpone from Saturday to yesterday due to snow , we did manage to finish our calendars! I will post more images tomorrow.January-Background is done with both emboss resist and Versamark resist techniques on glossy cardstock. Images are from the "Cold and Cuddly" set in the current Stampin' Up! mini catalog.
Hearts are punched out of Stampin' Up! Real Red designer paper, using bot Stampin' Up! heart punches. The saying is from "A Happy Heart".
Awesome! Ellen Kemper creates magic with Stampin' Up! punches! The leprechaun is designed by her. His head is the ornament punch (this is now 2 things other than ornaments for which we have used this punch. It's a must have! Remember the acorns??) I created the pot of gold to go with Ellen's guy.

Grass is created using the bottom edge of the "Inspired by Nature" stamp. Designed Paper is the "Razzleberry Lemonade".

Here is the "Family Blessings Mini Scrapbook we made at camp on Saturday. It's a paper bag album! See the leaf tabs on the right? Each one of those pulls out an additional hidden" page on which to either journal or add more pictures. Everyone finished this album in 2 1/2 hours! Not bad for a complete album!

Here is a hidden page pulled out for viewing.

Christmas Stamp-a-Stack #2

Another card from the Christmas Stamp-a-Stack this past weekend. Hard to see, but the card is acetate stamped with white stazon. I took different elements of various punched santas I had seen to make this version.

One of the cards we did at the Christmas Stamp-a-stack this past weekend. Many versions of this card have been done; this is mine. Reminds me of the quiet and peace while walking in the woods after a heavy snow.

"Branch Out" and "Winter Post were used, along with Basic Black and Bordering Blue ink. The "Peace" is from the set "Four the Holidays". The trees are glittered, giving the card that 'wow' factor, even though it is quite simple and fast to make.

Halloween Spread #2

LOVE these border strips! The chalkboard technique is used after the image was rolled-white out the areas you want to color by coloring with white ink, then you can color overtop with colored pencils. What I especially love about these borders is the use of glitter/beads on the walkways up the hills!
