Yes, I was taking photos in the car on the way to dinner.... and no, I wasn't driving =P
I'll have to apologize for the nasty glare from the plastic. Hmm.. i seem to do my best work under pressure. I'm sure there are several calendars that are much more impressive than mine, i'm pretty happy with how this one turned out!
January incorporates an image I recieved in the mail from my good friend MiamiKel from SCS.
Thanks Kelly! The image is from the Ski Bunny set from Hanna Stamps.
Ahh February! Image here is from Rubbernecker
The clover for March was done by tracing a Creative Memories heart shaped cutter from the Custom cutting system. I cut three out, and then freehanded the "stem" - I sure hope it looks like a clover to all of you! LOL
April, birthdays of bf and his dd.... and yes, that's a beach shot of bf and our little Rockstar... *tear*
The flowers here are from an image swap. Colored in with SU! markers. Stamps are from SU!'s Priceless set.
June, a hot hot month! Rubbernecker stamp in the bottom corner.
That's a penny black image, love this little piggy!
LilyKate paper I purchased from Scrappingreatdeals.com.
The swirls here are also from SU!'s priceless set. The leaves are from the Seasonal Icons set.
Pretty Typical halloween theme. Some House mouse stamps on here. The Lil' Pumpkin stamp was one of the many that I surprisingly got in the mail from three very special friends from SCS, Judy, Mary & Kadie.
I originally bought this background paper from Clipper Street Scrapbooking in Coquitlam, BC on a visit home, I thought it was perfect for November. The flowers are from Petaloo and purchased from My Favorite Things.
And finally December. I love the holidays and so I left this page to last. The background is stamped in Metallic Gold Ink using SU's Baroque Motifs set. I never knew what to do with this gorgeous stamp set until I started with this calendar. I think that particular large swirl will make great backgrounds for elegant Christmas cards this year. But, its debut got to be on this page.
I didn't list ALL the materials I used, but tried to get most of it in there. If you want to know what any of the sets are, or any of the colors used, let me know and i'll try to remember!
The calendar pages, Month Titles and Weekdays Titles are all from Creative Memories. Papers and Cardstocks vary between store finds and Stampin' Up. The 12x12 sleeves are a bulk pack of 25 I bought at Micheal's with my 40% off cupon. perhaps granny should be happiest of all, I didn't use my 40% off cupon to buy a Cuttlebug for myself, I used it for her calendar! The pages ended up costing just over $11. For 25! What a deal! now i have enough leftover to make calendar #2......... dare I? LOL Maybe after a LONG rest!!
I hope you enjoyed my little calendar! Now I"m off to wash my dainties!!
