Annettes Monthly Calender challenge

Dawn you will be so proud of me!!!

MARCH

I'm a bit early with March but we are heading off on school holidays so thought I would get it done now.

To keep the pages uniform for the 12 months i have chosen to make this little embellishment for the bottom right hand side of each layout.

These are nice and quick, 1/2 a large squeeze punch circle inked around the edge, topped with a scalloped loveheart and a small squeeze punch circle that have been scrunched up. Sew all together with a vintagey button and some DMC thread and pop on your layout. Highlight the edge with rhinestones to match and include your little date stickers and all done.

 
For the month titles i have used the shape template "letters # 3" and rather than cut them out I have used it like a stencil and coloured inside with watercolour crayons, that way i have been able to write over the title whilst still being able to read the journalling and vice versa. I have also used month stamps as a continuous feature throughout.

My corners have been rounded using the larger of the squeeze punch corner rounders and i have used the threading water border punch for my small scallop coloured edge, i have just hidden the holes that are normally punched out with this border punch with the scallop.

Its not too late to play along, hope to see your pages soon, to join the other lovely ladies who have managed so far to keep up to date ;0) Well done girls, and thanks Dawn for a great challenge.

LOL thanks Lyn :0) Yes as all the other girls participating have shown, Picassa is really a good way to showcase lots of photos with a minimum of fuss, it did make the layouts fairly quick - amazing for me!! I do like to fiddle ;0) Can't wait to see what you come up with. A:0)

I love what you have done with your calendar pages Annette. Wow really awesome.

I LOVE Picasa. It's free and it makes it a breeze to put together a collage in many different combinations. Great for those like me with limited scrapping time when working etc.

[Dawn Stan]

Also Picasa allows you to add a border of any colour of thickness between each image. I love this format for a calendar page as no matter how many or how few (this month lol) photos I have taken I can stick with the same A4 sheet format.

You are so inspiring ..... great that you have been able to keep up the photo a day being so busy! I am just about to go back and scrap all the kids school photos from kindy to year 6 and am aiming to keep the theme consistent - so lots of ideas for me here! thanks for sharing Jane x
