My April Calendar

Every month I create a calendar to put on the wall in my craft room.  Here is my calendar for the month of April:

The calendar base is 12 inches by 12 inches and the paper I selected is from a selection of cardstock that my good friend, Janis, of  PAUSEDREAMENJOY sent to me in a RAK last year.  I just love the bright colors of the flowers on the bottom of the brown cardstock.  The grid for the calendar, days of the week, and the numbers are cut from the Cricut Designer's Calendar cartridge.  I cut the clouds with the sentiments from the Create A Critter 2 Cricut cartridge at 1.25 inches.  The sentiments are from CARDZTV.  I used the Think Spring and For the Birds stamp sets.  All of the stickers are from various packages in my "Spring Embellishment" box.

It is so much fun to make these calendars!

Lazy Days of August

Happy Monday everyone!

I make a calendar for my craft room every month.  I always use Designer's Calendar cartridge to make the grid and numbers for the days of the month and days of each week.  This cartridge also has a lot of extras on it that often go unnoticed.

My calendar pages are always 12 by 12 and I mount them on a magnet board from Creative Memories which is hung on the wall.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Fall is in the Air

Happy Sunday everyone!  I cannot believe that it is September already!  Christmas is right around the corner!  The picture above is my wall calendar page for the month of September.  I used four cartridges:  Designers Calendar, Paisley, Four Legged Friends and Create a Critter.  Dog was cut from the Paisley cartridge at 5 inches.  Doghouse was cut from the Critter cartridge at 3 inches.  Dog Bone was cut at 2 inches from...the Four Legged Friends cartridge.

The grid for the month was cut from Designers Calendar at 6 inches.  Numbers were cut at one inch.  For those of you who do not have Designer Calendar...you are missing out!  It has a wide variety of images, words, and symbols....Let your imagination fly!
