A Year of Cards by Tessa

Tessa Buys took on a big assignment this month - creating a year of cards using our Mini Calendar Stickers. She did a fantastic job and now she has handy cards she can grab each month for gift tags, thank you notes, etc.

Here's what Tessa had to say about her project; "Making a year's worth of cards was sort of an overwhelming idea until I decided to come up with a simple recipe that I could follow for each card.

I chose three patterned papers for each month that tied in with the theme/season/holiday of that particular month. I was able to use up quite a few scraps! I used one 4 x 5.25 inch piece of patterned paper for the base, one 4x2 inch piece of patterned paper for the strip across, and one 4x0.5 inch piece of patterned paper to top the strip. I matted the calendar stickers on white cardstock and used foam adhesive to attach them to the cards. I added rhinestones to the calendars on holidays or special days. I topped each one off with a coordinating handmade, felt bow and a little splatter of white mist. Once I had my recipe planned, the entire set only took about an hour to put together."







Supplies: Mini Calendar Stickers, decorative border.

Amy's Countdown to Christmas

Amy Crockett created a fun wall-hanging, just in time for Christmas!

Amy says, "I used my Cricut to cut the little boxes. I put fun little things like Christmas buttons, stickers, candy, as well as fun activities in each one, as we countdown the 12 days of Christmas. I have many windows in my house and not much wall space, so this will fit perfectly on a thin strip of wall. I was also thinking of expanding it to 24 days!"







Supplies: Large Calendar Numbers and Fancy Christmas Stickers.

New Year's Tubes

Rae Barthel created a set of confetti-filled New Year's tubes for her family -- little goodies to help them ring in the new year. She took regular silver basket shred, chopped it into tiny bits, then stuffed it into the tubes; they will be opened and thrown outside...



Rae attached a placard to a wooden box, and placed the tubes inside.



Rae used two matching stickers on the tubes for her and her husband.



Rae used three matching stickers on the tubes for her kids (pink confetti for her daughter, of course!).



Rae finished off her tube set by adding stickers to the lids.

2011 XC Layout by Melanie

Melanie Jarocki created a layout to document her daughter's Cross-Country Season this past Fall using our Athlete stickers;



Melanie says, "I made a large pocket to house her certificate, times sheet, and a full-page of journaling that I typed. For the pocket I trimmed 1/2" off the top of the blue paper, then cut off the top right corner. I then stitched around the sides and bottom to attach it to the back sheet of cardstock."





Melanie also used our 2011 Year of Memories stickers to complete her layout. Thank you for joining us this week. Please stop by on Monday to view our 2012 Design Team Call!
