Yes, it is time for you to make a gorgeous, beautiful and delightful DECEMBER CALENDAR using holiday colors (if you so choose--or not). This will be your last calendar, and I promise we won't do them next year. Seems like I am the only one on the admin team who really likes having them in my journal, but they are a great "marker" to know when you did something if you don't date your journal work like I do. I will do them next year, as I have done every year since I started journaling, but we won't have them as a prompt!
LYNN made this beauty... Isn't it pretty? Here's what she had to say: "I got lucky today and got this piece of deli paper that Betty made with the gelli plate and I loved it so much I wanted to use it for the background for the calendar. Just punched out a bunch of circles and added birthdays that I have this month."
MELODY made this super cute calendar in her usual cheerful style! "For
my calendar I started with tube acrylics in red and white to create
the background, then punched circles out of scrapbook papers from my
Christmas collection and glued them all down. I added some stickers for
the month and a little somethin' extra. Thanks for looking!"
BETTY - My page this month is full of wintry and holiday cheer. Background was prepared with acrylics in red and white, applied with a brayer, then some circles stamped with leftover paint. I punched out the date squares out of holiday scrapbooking paper, added the dates and snowflakes with Posca markers, then the embellishments. Sadly, I got the "December" that was stamped with Stampin' Up's Alphabet Attitude stamps a little bit high, but oh well!
SHANA says: As you know I do not enjoy doing Calender's! there is too much planning do do, spacing for the days of the weeks and making sure you have the right amount of days in the month... so since I was just going with it I decided to use what I had to go with the red and green theme, I had a background that I had just made using red and green with a brayer some time ago and started with that. I had a piece of watercolor paper that got ripped so I trimmed it down and laid down some green gelatos for a border then wet the whole piece down, I then sprayed with Dylusions in red. for the days I had some copy paper that I just did random sprays of the dylusions. I glued them all down and uses my sharpie paint pens to number them and add the month at the top. I actually like how it turned out with the mash of red and greens with no real shape, and I got to get my hands full of color! big hugs!
