Welcome 2013

I can now post this because my friend received her calendar in the mail today....this was my Christmas gift to my friends and family. I made 10 of them and actually need to make a couple more. I first got the idea to do a calendar from Damaris over at Studio D.  Her calendar is amazing and you should definitely check it out. However, I needed something less time consuming and that I could crank out a lot of them in less time.  I found several different calendar styles and finally came up with this, which I think is just a combination of several ideas rolled into one.  I used digi elements and calendar kits from Pickleberry Pop and Fayette's designs. I LOVE her style.  I put the months together in Photoshop and sent them to Walgreens for development. They are 4x6 photos, the base is a wood block painted, sanded and then I mod podged the kraft bracket frame, line stitched on it and added the teacup hooks.

I think it turned out super cute and now all my friends are already wanting refills for next year! 

I am entering the following challenges:

2nd challenge and Locker posters!

This is my layout for the 2nd challenge that my friend and I are doing.  It's inspired from the picture in the previous post.  I used an already embellished background paper, I can't remember which company or line it is, I added some grungy dots with a stamp from Unity, the banner is also made from Unity stamps and just embellished, I added some white paint dots here and there, some ribbon, brads, and chipboard flowers. 

I made this locker poster for our high school girls basketball team for their home game yesterday. Each home game someone is in charge to decorate the lockers and bring a little treat to encourage them.   Our poor girls are struggling and it's a little frustrating to watch. We only have two senior girls, about 5 juniors and 5 sophmores.  We've had two out with injuries (including my daughter), two out because they needed to get grades up, and then we've just been playing with a couple juniors, a handful of sophmores and then freshmen.  Needless to say, it's been a rough season.   Last night, even though only the freshmen won, they did play much better and didn't lose by 25-30 points like they usually do.  :/   Hopefully they will at least continue to improve and hopefully even win a game or two!

The treat bags were filled with smarties and starbursts and the tag says "Be a STAR and play SMART, GO! FIGHT! WIN!  Lady Panthers you can do it!   I hope they liked it and had a little bit of encouragement. 

Well, that's it for today, my bestie and her family are coming to town and will be here in about an hour.  Her husband is going to run our St. George 1/2 marathon tomorrow!!  WHOOT!!  So glad to see them.  Going to visit and catch up while having dinner at OLIVE GARDEN.... nuff said!  yummy!

Have a great weekend!
