November Calendar Page & a Free Template

Wow - it's November 1st already! These months are just flying by! It's already time for my November calendar page. I created the actual calendar in Excel and resized it and printed it out in Word. The entire calendar page is 6.5 x 6.5 inches.

I'm trying something new....if you'd like to make a November calendar page using the template I created click HERE to download the PDF file. Hopefully this link will work....fingers crossed!!!! Be sure to let me know if you are able to create a page with my template!

The designer paper is from We R Memory Keepers (Autumn Splendor). My base is Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added a little More Mustard CS for the photo corners and the top border. The flowers are also from We R Memory Keepers. I figured it will be getting cold here soon so it's my last chance to use flowers on a calendar page for a while.

Every month a group of bloggers, including myself, post new calendar pages. Be sure to check out these blogs for some awesome November calendar page inspiration.

Halloween with Ava Fairy

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

This week's Totally Stampalicious challenge is to make a Halloween card or project! I found this great Halloween designer paper from doodlebug design inc and knew it would be perfect with the adorable Ava Fairy. Ava was stamped on Papertrey Inc white card stock and colored with Sharpies, except the skin tone which is blush blossom marker from Stampin Up. Ava's hair is really brown but she's wearing a black wig to go with the rest of her costume he he. I cut the image and clouds out freehand with my small fiskars scissors. The spider webs and the BOO are heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used this week's Sketch Saturday Sketch #179 for the layout. I really like this sketch!!!

Take Notes Challenge

I'd like to start off by THANKING everyone that stopped by my blog for the New Release and Blog Hop last week! The stamps being release this month are AWESOME and so much fun to work with! I enjoyed reading all the comments and hopping through the blog hop!

It's Monday and that means we have a new Challenge at Totally Stampalicious! This challenge is an EASY one. We want you to make at least 3 note cards. I like even numbers so I made 4. These cards are 4 x 4. I used Night of Navy card stock stamped with white snowflakes for the base. The frames were made with Cranberry Crisp paper and the SU Scallop Trim Border and Corner punches. The image is one of our new releases Winter Bird Snowman. I colored the images with a combination of Sharpie markers and Coloring Pencils. I got a new snowflake die - Sizzix Snowflakes #15. I cut the snowflakes out of some glittery white CS and added a rhinestone to the center for my embellishment. Finally, I added some dazzling diamonds to make the snow sparkle.

Be sure to stop on over to the Totally Stampalicious Blog to see what other awesome Note Cards the Design Team has created! I hope you get a chance to play along in our challenge this week! These little cards are going to come in handy for the holidays!
