Playing with Colors

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Thursday !!!

It took me a while but I think I pulled these colors together- Cajun Craze, Soft Sky, Always Artichoke, Night of Navy from the Color Throwdown ctd328.

I had a slight color of Always Artichoke peeking out from my frame and finished it off using baker's twine, a mini brad and sequins for embellishments.

Hope you like it.

2015 Calendar

Hello Peeps !!!

 

Happy Sunday !!!

 

I really wanted to make a calendar for my group and so I came up with this. The calendar was done using MDS of course. The monthly calendar is just held by a binder clip. I had a black and white theme going on my class so I designed this using Black, Red and White. I used punched flowers for my insert and you can use it to write down important dates, birthdays etc.

The measurement is 3-1/2 x 11", scored at 3-1/4, 6-1/2 and 8" and glued at the bottom.

Hope you like it.
