I apologize for the super late post today. I actually had one almost ready to post this morning, but for some unknown reason my computer froze up, I had to restart, then when I cam back to the blog the post was lost! So frustrating, but also compounded by the fact that I couldn't re-do it then because my daughter was picking me up to run some errands so it had to wait! WAAAAAH!
Ok, now that I've whined a bit, let's try this again! Thanks for letting me vent! ha!
I'm having a Birthday Perpetual Calendar Class at my house on the 31st of March, my last SAB event for this year, so of course I've been working on the calendar. I decided to go with two different cover versions. The inside pages will be the same for both, just the covers will be diff!
Here's the first one using the Big Shot Blossom Party Originals Die, Twitterpated DSP, and Cherry Cobbler Regals Buttons!

The tiny little flourishes under the medallion are from the still-free-set with a qualifying SAB order, "Kindness Matters"!

Here's the other calendar cover, this time in earthy tones using "Nature Walk" and "Best Friends Forever"!

I love collage stamping, but am somewhat intimidated by it, so I decided to just go for it with this, and I love the result! The one stamp that "Nature Walk" lacks, in my opinion, is a foliage stamp, so I turned to "Best Friends Forever", and it has the perfect one! I also used the Label Framelits Dies to create the focal image layers, and it turned out well too!

I used the "Petals-a-Plenty" Textured Impressions Folder for the layers, and added a brad from the "Vintage Trinkets", which added the perfect finishing touch!
Gotta go for now, lots to still do for my next few workshops and classes! Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
