Happy Friday everyone!! Welcome to my blog and the Calendar Blog Hop hosted by ScrappyZeni. This isn't your usual type of hop. We have a whole group of VERY talented ladies. If you've just arrived from Monica's blog Scraps 2 Treasures then you're on the right track. If you just happen to see this post then go ahead and start from the beginning by clicking on the button below. You won't be sorry! Lots of great ideas here.
For my project, I made a birthday calendar that I can hang up. What better way to remember someone's birthday than in a pretty handmade calendar. I used my silhouette cameo for the tags and months. I used an old frame that was just laying around. I distressed it with some black soot and vintage photo. The background paper is from a DCWV stack I've had for a while. It was originally a plain bluish color and I stamped around the entire page to give it a vintage feel For the tags, I used again my Tim Holtz distressed inks vintage photos for the edges and orange marmalade. I also used it for the top sign. The flowers are from my stash. I ran two strings across to hang the tags. The mini clothespin are from YEARS ago. (when I first started crafting) I always thought they would come in handy so I never threw them out. :) I also stamped the tags with the lines and borders. This way I can write down the names of people's birthdays in each month. I can't wait to hang this on my wall.
ENJOY!! Apologies for the quality of the pics. Hope to get better ones up soon.
