December Calendar Page

Hello! No I didn't forget to post my December calendar page, I was waiting until you really wanted to look at it. ha ha  Kidding... I did forget, gasp!  This is the last one for the year using Simple Joys stamp set. I did add sparkle to this one as well. Not sure I will do another year of calendar pages... Unless they talk me into it, she LOVED each month. We will see. Thanks for stopping by today!

Edit: I get my calendars from Taylored Expressions stamps found HERE 

November Calendar Page

This is my calendar page for November and only one more month to go. I had fun doing these and I know that the person who I gave them to liked them. This is using the image So Grateful that is colored with Copic markers. A few enamel dots and some scrap designer paper to the bottom. Voila! 

October calendar Page

This boot is so fun to color and with the leaves changing color outside it was pretty easy to imagine fall colors. The stamp set I used was Feeling Fall and very easy calendar page again with just a few enamel dots and some sparkles. Voila! 

September Calendar Page

Well good morning. As you can tell from my absence that school is back in session and the boosters program is in full swing with things to do. Haven't had anytime in the stamp room until today and I feel rather rusty. You wouldn't think that not creating something would be any different, but it sure does for me. Figured I better start out with just a basic design and my Sept. calendar page was just the ticket. They will get this a few days late but that will be okay.  

The beautiful In Praise of Sunflowers stamp set was perfect for the month. Colored with just a few Copic markers and voila. See easy peasy to get the flow going again. Ai yi yi.... My Christmas card for the Dirty Dozen September challenge was done and posted on SCS the other day (late of course) but I had that done in advance thank goodness. I am feeling like the tin man with creating. :-)  Will get that posted this week sometime, but I need to work on some creating while I have the time. 

Before I go, proud mom and dad moment to share with you. As I mentioned school is in full swing and everything that goes with it. I finished up the Boosters Sports Program for Football and Volley ball and we have concessions nailed down for the most part. The boys first football game was a non-league game, pre-season essentially. Curtis is the back-up quarter back again this year along with wide receiver and corner back. They both play defense and offensive as its a smaller school and we have a total of 23 players. The team we were against is a 4A school and they come out with 43 players. Oh my word! Anyways, about 10 minutes into the first quarter our QB goes down (he is okay) a dislocated shoulder which has happened before. I am looking at the field as I missed the play and see someone is on the ground and the coaches over there. I ask who is it, and immediately look to find Curtis after I found out who it was. That means... HE'S GOING IN. ACK!!!! He had so much poise and calmness, where we are on the side lines pacing. ha ha The entire rest of the game he played AWESOME! We held this team to a 7-0 loss and you might think that isn't good. But last year they crushed us 63-7, this was quite the win for our team. Now the question is will he be starter for this Friday night....  GASP... Oh the joys of football season. 

Thanks for sharing in our joy and thank you for stopping by. 

August Calendar page

Berry good right... This House Mouse is not available anymore and I can't find it at Stampendous site.  :-(  Every time I pull these stamps out I want to buy more. Good thing I resist and just grab one I have up on the bins.  

This is one of the first ones that I bought too so I have several creations over the years with him. Just a few enamel dots for accents. Easy Peasy! Have a great day!

July Calendar page

Now you had to know that this months calendar was going to be using these guys. This is now called Star Spangled Mice at Stampendous but I bought it originally called Patriotic Wrap from House Mouse. One of my favorite House Mouse stamps to date. hee hee  

These calendar pages are super easy as you don't have to add a bunch of fluff. I added a little bit of sparkle to the stars and the flag and voila! Have a wonderful Fourth of July if I miss seeing you before then.

May Tulip Calendar

It is time for the May calendar page and this month I used Dynamic Duos: Peonies and Tulips. If you don't have this set, you can always use the digital version of Tulips or the Peonies. 

I really do like these calendar pages and the fact that I had to keep them simple. That makes for some easy coloring and just a little bit of embellishments. I added some blue highlights around the blooms on this one. Then some enamel dots for accent. Voila! See... easy peasy. Hope you have a wonderful day! 

April Sunshine

Good morning! This is my April calendar using a retired set. However if you would like a different version of this beautiful display, check out Marcy's Digital version revamped called Flower Bomb. 

This is another month that I left the scripture off so she can write her own. Going with the every other month or occasional one I add is fun and she appreciates it. Very simple with just some coloring on the bloom and a scored border. Voila! 

March Calendar

My calendar for March is the start of spring with a little bit of mice in the rain. hee hee  Oh this House Mouse is darling isn't it. Not sure if its available anymore either. Again simple design and I forgot to write a scripture on this one, doh! I will let her fill in this month I guess. Various Copic markers for the coloring and just a tad of paper at the base again. Voila! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Cupid for February

Good morning. This month calendar page has the adorable Cupid Henry from Whiff Of Joy. This is retired yet still one of my favorite mouses in my collection. Very simple again as I am mailing this to her with little embellishments. The 14th I did trace a red hard and color in and added a red strip across the bottom. I think I will do that every month now as I do like it. A little bit of sparkle and Voila! Have a wonderful day. 

January Calendar

Morning. I know January has already started however, I did just get this months complete. This is a yearly calendar from TE that I am making for a friend. It will be pretty simple each month since it needs to be mailed. This month I used Jingle Bell Time stamped and colored with Copic markers. Each month will have an added scripture to the side. I am debating if I want to circle or stamp on certain dates for holidays etc. Maybe just let her do that? Anyways this is the first month. Now to get ahead and work on the others.  :-)  Have a wonderful day.
