Out with February

Can you believe that the first two months of the year have gone by? I sure hope March brings us some better weather. We are long overdue.


Since it's the last day of February, I need to share my Graphic 45 Time to Flourish calendar page for this month. (Yes, I just finished it 3 days ago. In my defense, I finished March, too.) I'm using the cut aparts page from the 8x8 paper pad for this project. Core-dinations Graphic 45 Signature Series Lights card stock was used for the base, and I used the Martha Stewart Lace Heart edge punch to make a frame for the title. 

The 4x6 ephemera card was adhered to the base of my layout. Several of the pieces from the cut aparts sheet were added. I love the postoids. They are my favorite pieces. I distressed all the pieces in Vintage Photo distress ink and used foam to adhere some of them. I also bend and curl the edges of the pieces to give them more of a distressed look.  The calendar piece was computer generated. I added some pearls and used a clear Wink of Stella brush to add some shine to the flowers.

I would like to enter this into the Craft Hoarders Anonymous February Challenge - How Do I Love Thee? 


On to March -


For my March page, I've used the same basic formula as I did for January and February, with the March cut aparts from the collection. I did add some ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon February Collection


Isn't this ribbon gorgeous? I love the beautiful colors this month. I will be entering this into the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #112 - Purple and Green with Ribbon Theme

Hopefully, I'll find some time to make the rest of my calendar soon. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

  7. Oh my. Swoon! Swoon some more! I love these! I have two calendar bases here...I was going to make one with Place in Time when that came out and never did. Then I thought to do one with Time to Flourish, but I am sure I won't. I am loving these and cannot wait to see the rest of the year!!! Thanks for joining us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge!
