New Beginnings for Make My Monday

By
It's time for a new start at Make My Monday and this week Fliss has chosen the theme of NEW BEGINNINGS for our challenge.
I didn't make a card for this but instead a perpetual calendar - take a look



Pieces of mount board were cut to size and stamped on with stamps from last year's Sale-a-bration offer. I used a variety of markers to colour my stamps and overlapped the images. I also stamped more than once before re-inking.
I then added the calendar details using the Stampin' Up Project Life Day to Day stamp set. All the elements are separate so can be used for any year.
This is going straight on my desk - I'm hoping that it's going to keep me organised this year - maybe help me to get my posts done on time!!!!
Thanks for looking - please do take the time to pop on over to the challenge blog and take a look at all the other beautiful creations from the dt.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
