These calendars take a little time, but they are worth it.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy New Year!

I'm sending each of you best wishes for a happy, successful, dream come true New Year ever.  2010 is behind us and I have resolved that I will take my life back, and share my love for stamping and paper crafting with the people I love.  I will post on my blog, but probable not everyday. 
I wanted to share the calendars that I made this weekend for my wonderful sisters.  I am still working on the last one, so I'll be back in a day or two to share it with you.

I'll get these to each of you ASAP.  They turned out so good.... (Sharing that love!)

I made one of the countdown calendars for myself. I used the new Christmas paper by Stampin' Up. I distressed mine just a little bit. I like that new soft suede, it has just a teeny-tiny bit of green undertones. Lynnor had a great idea, create a countdown until the last day of school! We are so bad!!!!!

I haven't posted in a week. School is back in session for the 09-10 school year. There is so much that needs to be done and so many meetings to attend. I also have a new assistant to train. She is doing a great job. I just have to get administration to realize that she needs to be in the classroom, not running errands for them. I am fortunate to have an Intern from the University of West Florida this fall. That means I also am busy training her. I have so much I want to share with her that my brain seems to be churning all the time. I am totally worn out when I get home at night.

Here is the project that I will be teaching at Priceless Scrapbooks in September. I saw this on someones blog about two years ago. I printed it out, but I can't remember who's it was. Sorry! I used the Christmas papers by S.E.I, I believe they are called Winter Song. Start your countdown to Christmas with this sweet little calendar. You can start counting as far away as 99 days before Christmas. Don't let Christmas sneak up on you! Stay organized and be prepared for the big day by always knowing how many days you have left to get ready. Contact Trish at Priceless to sign up for this class.

I made this calendar as a thank you gift for a friend. I saw it on the Stampin' Up Demonstrator web site. I changed a few things; I didn't have the calendar stamp, so I printed and cut the individual calendars to size. I do have the month stamps so I was able to stamp the months in matching colors. This was fun to make and it has a very clean look to it. I already have one cut out for myself. I think it was at least 9" tall. I may have to make this a class. I have to get busy stamping ..... Stampin' Up Regionals is this Saturday. I need some card fronts to swap with other Demonstrators.
