Winter calendar series

Image
Hello everyone!  Super excited and tired here.... lol started the new job and I totally love it!  But man I'm tired with learning and cramming in so much in my little pea brain! I'm here to share with you a new video that I have made with my latest calendar series.  This time it's the winter months!  So December, January and February.  I used the backgrounds that I had made using the JB5 series. Here's my video and here are the individual calendars The papers are all left overs from my scrap piles.  The calendars can be found here . This is using Christmas Candles from Delicious Doodles Here is using a little stamp from House Mouse called Santa's little helper For the month of January I used Meljen's little snowboy  And Karen Middleton - Snuggle penguin and for February I have used Heart 2 from Crafty Secrets  And Heart doodle from Scribble Design Hope you like those and will check out my video!!!! Hugs

Fall is in the air

I finally KICKED my butt and got some of my calendars from the JB5 process where I had done 24 backings finished (well the front part anyway).  And I made a video out of it to share with you.  This time however it's not a fast forward one.... it's one where I actually speak throughout.... So LONG (warning you in advance). Pretty happy 6 done 18 more to go?!? YIKES when will that be done .....anyway.... If I want to have a chance to put the calendars in my Etsy store I need to get going.... plus it's something to keep me busy and hopefully feeling worthy of SOMETHING.... Here's the video that I made if you don't mind hearing me for a long time.... (you can put the speed at double on Youtube btw if you want to hear me in speed version). and here are the pictures of what I did. All the calendars used calendars from here . For this 1st October one the image is from Birdy Brown it was a freebie called Gnome boy fall and unfortunately the store is closed now :(

Path of Positivity - Midway post - Laughter

The great sponsors for this challenge are: ,  ,   and  For my make this time I used a really fun image from Meljen's Design called  Birthday cake oopsy bear . This image reminded me of a funny incident when I was a kid... my grandpa went to get the b-day cake from the pantry.  The cover was on it... and he lifted it just a bit to see the cake.  But at the same time he tipped it a bit.... so yup you can guess it the cake ended up on the floor!  And my grandma was sooooo pissed especially since we were laughing so very hard.  And poor grandpa felt soooo bad and embarrassed... yup good memories!
