Cherish the Memories/Calendar

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to share a Desktop Calendar I made using a Beautiful photo of my parents when they were in High School. This photo was taken in 1963 Senior Ball. Now I can look at this photo on my work desk, LOVE it!

The desktop Calendar is from Heidi swap I believe. I covered the chipboard pages with Heartfelt Creations design paper, and then made the flowers using copics,distress ink,clear embossing powder. LOVE the look of these gorgeous flowers. They remind me of glass. 

 

Embellishments - Vintage Feathers, Vintage Pearls, Vintage Lace,Vintage Buttons.

 

Leaves were created using 2 different products. I will have to do a video tutorial on this.

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,

Cheryl

May Desktop Calendar

Hello Friends! 

Today's Project is the May Calendar for my Desk Calendar project I have been working on. So far I have shared the Months June & July. I decided I better share the month of May before its over...heheheheehe

So for the month of May I used the design Paper from American Crafts its the Pebbles line called "Garden Party". I also used the Thickers they are American Crafts "Lullaby". For my CottageCutz dies I used the Spring Duckling, and Springtime Bluebell Flowers. Both of these are colored with copic markers. 

Next I used Really Reasonable Ribbons Noelle Lace down the right side of this page. and then used the Shimmer Satin Ribbon and Sweetheart Blossom flower also found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

For the next 2 pages I used coordinating embellishments from American Crafts Pebbles line for "Garden Party". I thought this line was perfect for this months calendar.The Calendar is Studio Calico and is from American Crafts as well. Love these calendar cards. Hoping they come out with them for 2015 as well.

I used more ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon on these 2 pages as well. There is a Spring Green Satin with Grosgrain edge, and then the Noelle lace, Chevron Striped Pink Twill, and Grosgrain swiss Dots.

I hope you enjoyed today's Post as I had lots of fun creating it!

Thank you for looking!!

Hugs to all,

June Desk Calendar

Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday to all!

Today I am sharing another Month for the Heidi Swapp Desk Calendar I bought at American Crafts. For each Month I have covered the chipboard piece that had its month's name on it. I didnt care for the colors on them, so thought it would be cute to cover it and then design each month in my style.

So for the June page, I covered it in Garden Party design paper from the Pebbles Line. I used all Really Reasonable Ribbon on this, and some beautiful lace too from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store. I also used the beautiful sweet Sweetheart Blossoms from RRR as well.

The sweet kitty is a CottageCutz die, and is dusted and colored with copics. I also used the CottageCutz Picket Fence Border from The Scrapping Cottage.

JUNE is done in Thickers, and those came from American Crafts. These match the Garden Party dp perfect!!

On the page with the tag, I left it pretty plain, and those tags come out of the pocket, I will add 2 photo's on this page. All the tags, banner, and ladybug came from the embellishments that match the design paper. The page with the calendar has leave trims in Moss Green and PINK from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The borders going down the sides are from The Scrapping Cottage and are the CottageCutz Sweetheart Border. I also added some of the Sweetheart Blossoms to the vine of leaves.

This page here was added by me. I made it to fit this calendar, just by measuring the chipboard page that came with this desktop calendar set. I figured it could be replace, if I get bored with it next year. However I will keep the front pages the same, as I did add more details to it. I could also just add a calendar over this one if I wanted to, so other options are available for this.

Now to work on another :) I will share it when done!!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Really Reasonable Ribbon May Hop

Hello everyone and Welcome to 

♥♥♥Really Reasonable Ribbon's♥♥♥

May Hop!

July Desk Calendar(Heidi Swapp)

You should have arrived from Linsey's Blog If not you will want to start out at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog so that you wont miss anything.

I hope you have enjoyed our Hop so far today as there is a LOT of inspiration using the Beautiful May Ribbon Kit from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I just LOVE all the ribbons in this months assortment! Of course I LOVE every month as they are all so Beautiful!!! I did use lots of red,blue,and the lace from this months assortment, on my July Desk Calendar for today.

Today's Desk Calendar was designed using the Heidi Swapp desk calendar, and then I covered the chipboard pages(each month) with Design Paper, and then made the second page to hold the actual calendar. On the backside of this cover, is room for a PHOTO. I just haven't placed one in there yet.

I used LOTS of the ribbon from this months assortment. I used the beautiful Red and Blues, and then the red polka dot ribbon. I also used the lace from this months kit as well. The dp is Pen Pal from American Crafts, I believe its the Pink Paislee collection. On the front page I used Buttons, and flowers and those too can be found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

These are the 2 pages you see when you open July's page. There is room for a photo under that frame. Its part of the Pen Pal collection. For the LOVE button thing, I added some of the lace, and then ribbon behind it, and then hot glued it on. All the sticker chipboard pieces are from this Pen Pal Collection.  I ran the lace down both sides under the frame, and then used it across the bottom of the Calendar page. The flowers on these 2 pages are metal and are from American Crafts. These calendar pages are super fun to make, and it looks super cut on my work desk! LOVE IT!!!
