July Calendar

Happy July!  This month's calendar took inspiration from my love of travel.  


I die cut the globes from silver foil and roughened up the edges of the printed paper to give it a bit of a well-used feel.

No stamping or playing with inks on this one, but I promise some in next month's!

Cheers!

It's June!

How on earth is it already June?  

Here is this month's calendar page.  I was inspired by the roses in Stampin' Up's Hues of Happiness paper (now retired, of course!) to capture my sense of June.  The roses have begun blooming here and will continue throughout the summer.

I die cut the flowers and leaves and arranged them around the calendar.  It's a fun process, though it took me a while because I want it to be perfect so I tried all sorts of combinations to get it right.  There's a lot to be said for going with your first thought!

One great thing about this arrangement is that you can even use the incomplete flowers that are on the cut edge of the paper, as I did with the yellow one.  All of the gorgeous flowers get their spot!

This is the one I kept for myself.  Each one of these came out differently, thanks to all the blooms I had to work with.

Have fun creating!
