For Always Cards

These are two of the three cards we'll be making at our next get together. You have your choice of doing these, or the layouts (to be posted soon!) or both.

The Thanks card uses a bunch of retired stamp sets, but I couldn't help myself. I like the way it turned out. I used a bit of the For Always fabric on both cards, and I'm really liking it! It's fun to play with.

I've been working on a calendar. Last year I had one from Glacier Park, but this year no one bothered to buy me one for Christmas despite several hints to the contrary. So I found a blank one in my stash of scrapbooking supplies and decided that I'd make my own, month by month.

Ideally, I'd be putting pictures on it month by month too, but I haven't quite gotten to that part yet.  I also used a few premade layouts for a few months that I got in swaps, so I won't show those here. I'd rather not display them if I can't attribute them to the right person.

Here's the cover:

I got this idea from Vicki Wizniuk.

Now let's skip to March, because January and February were someone else's layouts that I had sitting around.

  Sorry it's a little cut off on the left, the calendar was bowing a bit when I snapped the picture. I need to work on a better setup for taking photos. This page uses the paper from Close to My Heart's Chantilly pack. I love the bright colors, and the fact that you can pair so many different colors with the patterns. I used a navy blue, Outdoor Denim, here for an extra punch. The bunnies and the saying are from a retired stamp set, the bird and the white flowers are from Life is Tweet. Bracket is from milepost shapes. All supplies from Close to My Heart.
