Winter calendar series

Hello everyone!  Super excited and tired here.... lol started the new job and I totally love it!  But man I'm tired with learning and cramming in so much in my little pea brain!

I'm here to share with you a new video that I have made with my latest calendar series.  This time it's the winter months!  So December, January and February.  I used the backgrounds that I had made using the JB5 series.

Here's my video

and here are the individual calendars

The papers are all left overs from my scrap piles.  The calendars can be found here.

This is using Christmas Candles from Delicious Doodles

Here is using a little stamp from House Mouse called Santa's little helper

For the month of January I used Meljen's little snowboy

 And Karen Middleton - Snuggle penguin

and for February I have used Heart 2 from Crafty Secrets

 And Heart doodle from Scribble Design

Hope you like those and will check out my video!!!!

Hugs

Fall is in the air

I finally KICKED my butt and got some of my calendars from the JB5 process where I had done 24 backings finished (well the front part anyway).  And I made a video out of it to share with you.  This time however it's not a fast forward one.... it's one where I actually speak throughout.... So LONG (warning you in advance).

Pretty happy 6 done 18 more to go?!? YIKES when will that be done .....anyway.... If I want to have a chance to put the calendars in my Etsy store I need to get going.... plus it's something to keep me busy and hopefully feeling worthy of SOMETHING....

Here's the video that I made if you don't mind hearing me for a long time.... (you can put the speed at double on Youtube btw if you want to hear me in speed version).

and here are the pictures of what I did.

All the calendars used calendars from here.

For this 1st October one the image is from Birdy Brown it was a freebie called Gnome boy fall and unfortunately the store is closed now :(

 This one is using a Scribble Design image that you can get here.

 This little one I used some leaves cut from my Creative memories punch as well as a tree cut with my memory box die.  The image is from Meljen's Design is Leaf Mouse but Meljen is also closed now.

 For this one I added some buttons that I had in my stash.  The image is from Meljen's as well and it's called Pumpkin and crow.

 This image is from Eureka Stamps it's a digi called Pumpkins and Fence

 My last one is a little Sassy Cheryl's image called Sally's Fall pumpkin

I'm entering those little calendar pieces in the following challenges:

1. Sassy cheryl's FB challenge - Use a Sassy cheryl image
2. Kraftin kimmie stamps - anything goes
3. Eureka stamps - Pumpkins
4. Robyns fetish challenge blog - Use lots of orange
5. My besties uk - Anything goes and not a square card
6. My time to craft challenge - Autumnal colors

That's it for me for today!!!  Hope you had a great Monday!!!

Meljen's Design Challenge - Seeing double

Hello!  It's Thursday and it's time for a new challenge over at Meljen's Design.  This time around it's about seeing double so use 2 images!

Meljen's Design challenge - Tic tac toe

Hello everyone!  It's Thursday and that means a new challenge over at Meljen's designs and this time around it's Tic Tac Toe!

Here's the grid that we are using:

So for my make I did Eyelets, Brads and twine.  Not something that I do often... it's funny how we accumulate stuff and then rarely use it... it comes in waves... Anyway, I'm sharing with you another little page of my calendar and this time around it's a summer one!  YUP totally long for summer to get here already!!!

I used the totally adorable little Cutie Crab

Path of Positivity - Midway post - Laughter

The great sponsors for this challenge are:
, ,  and 

For my make this time I used a really fun image from Meljen's Design called Birthday cake oopsy bear.

This image reminded me of a funny incident when I was a kid... my grandpa went to get the b-day cake from the pantry.  The cover was on it... and he lifted it just a bit to see the cake.  But at the same time he tipped it a bit.... so yup you can guess it the cake ended up on the floor!  And my grandma was sooooo pissed especially since we were laughing so very hard.  And poor grandpa felt soooo bad and embarrassed... yup good memories!

Meljen's Design Challenge - Sketch

It's time for a new challenge over at Meljen's Designs.  This time around it's a wonderful sketch.  Don't know about you but even when my mojo is down a sketch will help it going!

Here's my take with this great sketch.  I used the totally adorable Little Miss Heart Mouse.  She just soooo cute!

Meljen's inspirational post - Night time bear

Hope you are having a good week it's time for my inspirational piece for Meljen's design blog!  I'm here with a different little inspiration piece.  I made this for my little nephew to go with his Christmas present.  I figured when you are 2 and 1/2 it's really magical to play with one of those little globes.

I figured that this little guy would be perfect for this make Night time bear

So here's my little snowglobe

Meljen's Design - It's a wrap

Hello! It's time for a new challenge over at Meljen's Designs and this time around it's about wrapping paper!!!

Yeah... I wasn't sure what I would do lol.  So went through my wrapping paper box and found a left over piece (I can never seem to throw away paper... just in case I have a small gift to wrap lol).  It was the perfect inspiration for this card.

The image that I used is the fab Happy holiday wreath that I printed twice so I could do a bit of decoupage and have a 3d effect :)

Bundled little snow boy - Meljen's DT day
