2009 Calendar

Thursday, January 08, 2009

I made this desk calendar for each of my sisters and gave it to them as a New Years gift. I was inspired by a similar (but fancier) calendar on a blog I visit, which you can check out here (and she, in turn, was inspired by someone on SCS, whose calendars you can view here).

The calendar sits on the desk tent-style, and the ribbon holds the bottoms together and props up the calendar. It's the size of a regular greeting card.

You can see more samples and a tutorial here.

Hope you like!

Because Jennifer rawks

Sunday, October 19, 2008

I recently won a giveaway on Jennifer McGuire's blog. Jennifer is an amazing artist -- scrapbooking as well as stamping. I've loved her style for years.

I've seen Jennifer use this adhesive in her videos, and she always says how much she loves it. I'm so excited that I won this giveway.

The adhesive arrived this weekend. (Whoo hoo!) I think I need to do some crafting soon!
