Calendar Club Complete!

This past weekend my Calendar Club completed their last two pages. We only needed to finish November and December. Now they are ready to have the dates filled in and pictures posted in the spaces provided. This was a really fun Club and I think I may do it again sometime.

The November page uses the beautiful Dreamin' papers and some fall leaves cut and stamped using the Cricut cartridge and coordinating stamp set.

The December page uses the festive Believe papers and a stamped sentiment that was cut from the Cricut cartridge as well as the holly leaves.

Be sure to look back throughout the year to see each month's pages. You can use the Search on the right side of the column under key words "Calendar Club".

Calendar Club ~ September & October

Calendar Club really worked hard at our last gathering as we needed to complete 3 pages. This month we will only be doing two, September & October. We will also get to play with lots of new goodies including: new paper kits, fun accessories and the ever popular Cricut Art Philosophy Collection. Take a look!

Calendar Club ~ June, July & August

This month my Calendar Club will not be making just 2 pages as usual. Instead they will be making 3 so that we wrap up this project in time for gift giving at the end of the year.

For June's page they will use the subtle colors of the Miracle papers. They will hang some "glowing" lanterns as the finishing touch to this simple design.

For July's page I "steered" clear of the typical stars and stripes of the season. Instead I've created the scene of a festive bicycle parade!

By the time we reach August we will need to "cool" down. What better way than ice cream and a splash of color!

Calendar Club ~ April & May

Calendar Club meets this Saturday to create the April & May pages. Each has gorgeous spring colors and fun, whimsical themes.

For April's page they will learn stamp resist embossing with the butterfly stamp. It coordinates perfectly with the reverse side of the Wings paper. We will also get to have some fun with buttons!

For May's page we will be making these cute little pinwheels. They are simple to create and add a bit of whimsy to the page! This page will also get a spritz of creme brulee ink and sparkle!

Calendar Club {February & March}

When my Calendar Club meets next time they will be creating the February and March pages. For February we made the focus on Valentine's Day and LOVE! Sweetheart floral papers are perfect! Club members received the new spritz pen at the first meeting, so we will use it again for this month. This time we fill it with Hollyhock re-inker and the shimmer paint to add a bit of sparkle. Did you know that you can spritz directly on our paper flowers to add some color? You bet we can, it really makes them come to life!

The March page incorporates that fabulous Trees & Things stamp that I featured here on my blog last week. I stamped the leaves in Juniper and Olive to match the Wings Basics papers. The little swing was hung on some hemp that has been tucked behind the page. This page is also unique because instead of one photo you can feature 4 of your favorite snap shots.

Calendar Club {Class one}

My Calendar Club will begin later this month and this will be the first class. Club members will receive their kits which includes the CTMH 12x12 calendar, the brand new spray pen and materials to complete the front cover and page for the month of January. Every other month they will complete another two pages so that by the end of the year they will have a complete calendar to keep for themselves or give as a gift for the 2012 year!

For both of their starter pages I have incorporated the new Wings B&T papers. I have also used the new Bohemian Alphabet, so pretty! It's hard to tell in the pictures here, but I spritzed both pages with the new spray pen in a sparkly crystal blue mist. It just makes the pages glisten a little and really adds an icy effect to the snowflakes.
