Live Your Day Calendar Page ~ August has ABC's

National Papercrafting Month is almost over! If you want the exclusive Live Your Day Picture My Life collection you will need to order before this Sunday!

You may recall that I decided to pull all the month cards from the collection to create a traditional 12x12 calendar. I was working on the August page last night and incorporated the ABC challenge on Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog. August is typically the month that we all head back to school. Even if you don't still attend school I think its important that we never stop learning. Here is the page I created for this challenge~

A close up of each square random stamped with a different letter of the alphabet. The top title for my page was cut on the Cricut using the Artistry cartridge. The bottom portion of my title was stamped from the same alphabet stamp that I used on the 3x3 squares. The black and white really pops with the primary colors.

Perhaps you'll be inspired to create your own calendar, but you need to purchase the Live Your Day PML set soon!

Heart 2 Heart ABC Challenge

This week the Heart 2 Heart blog is having a ABC challenge.

A= Alphabet, use a Close To My Heart alphabet stamp {or two}
B= Boy, the project should be masculine for a boy or in my case young man!
C= Chocolate, eat some while you create...oh no wait, that's not it! Use the color chocolate.

I really needed to do some of my own scrapbooking so I created this layout for my son's recent march in the town parade. The design is from the new Magic book and is called "on with the show". I changed some minor elements and flipped the photo on the left from the original design. The color choice was inspired by Jeanette Lynton's Color Me Monday back in November of last year. She uses the colors chocolate, cranberry, goldrush and creme brulee. I threw in some brand new Pacifica to tie in with the photo's. I used the larger Rustic alphabet and the smaller Hodgepodge alphabet too. The "parade" is from the July Word Puzzle stamp set. The pictures are a little busy so I kept the pages neat and clean. Hope you will join in the fun at H2H this week!

Join me tomorrow when I begin my Frightful Fridays! Every Friday in the month of October I will have something haunting to share with you. Not in the mood for Tricks?... then perhaps something sweet!!
