JC- Dog Gone Christmas & Calendar Fun

Hello, Joy Clair friends! Can you believe that we are almost half way through November? Where did the month go? Christmas is just around the corner! Speaking of Christmas, do you include your pets in the festivities? We always include one of the larger bones for are dog. It is so big that it sticks around for way over a month!

First up, is a project that I created using the super adorable, Dog Gone Christmas stamp set! A perfect stamp set for dog-lovers!

For this card, I wanted the dog and the dog house to pop off the card. To do so, I used a circle die to cut out the circle in the center of the card. The dog house is stamped in the center of the circle. The image is then colored in using Chameleon markers. The dog image is stamped on a separate piece of cardstock. Once the dog is colored in, the image is cut out using scissors. The dog is attached using a foam dot. To finish the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment in white.

Next up, I included a planner page I created using the new Calendar Fun stamp set:

I really love the washi stamp images included in this set stamp. I alternated stamping the tape images in red and orange inks. These washi stamps add a unique design to the planner sheet. I used the month, day, and numbers to fill out the date at the top of the page. At the bottom of the planner page there is a place to write in a quote. So I included the speech bubble image inside the box. To add more detail to the planner page, I used the Fall Leaves stamp set to decorate the empty box towards the top of the page.

There is a huge difference between colored pencils and watercolor pencils. It is hard for me to decide which ones I like better! Which one do you like better?

Prepping My ADORNit Planner

I am planning to make some changes in the upcoming New Year. One of those changes is to be better organized. With all the activities that my family is involved in, it is time to get a planner in place and used! I was super excited to see the ADORNit planner they sent me for being an ADORNit Ambassador. They have a few different styles available, but you can find the one I have, HERE.

Here is the front cover of the Calendar Girls Planner: (I am still trying to figure out what I want to put in the banner...any suggestions?)

It is super cute that this planner even has a beautiful design on the spine of the planner! Could not let that go uncolored!

I LOVE the image on the back cover of the planner. I even colored this side first!

I used a variety of colored pencils to color the planner. But you can use paints, crayons, and markers. Whatever your heart desires! It does take awhile to color in the covers and spine, but it is so worth it when you see the final outcome!

So the next step in prepping my new planner is to color the monthly dividers that are included. I look forward to posting those once I am finished coloring them! Be sure to stop by to check them out!

Did you know the ADORNit has an Amazon store? Stop by and check out the selection available!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Planner Stamps - Pink & Main Stamps!

At the start of 2015, I was determined to get a planner going. In fact, I ended up buying 3 different ones. The plan is to try a variety of planners to figure out with one worked the best for me. It is still a work in progress. So when Pink & Main's released the latest planner stamps, my motivation increased!

 

With the release of In the Budget and Planning Work, I thought it would be best to use them on a monthly planner. So it was time to gather up supplies!

 

 

First up, I started with the monthly bills. I pay bills twice a month. So I stamped (using the new In the Budget set) the bills on the actual due dates, using one color for all the bills. Just to make sure I didn't forget to pay them.

 

 

Next, it was time to include my DT assignments for the month. I stamped any assignments that we scheduled for a specific day. For example, my Pink and Main posting day is on Saturdays.

 

 

I used page flags for posts/events that I knew were coming up, but didn't have a specific date assigned yet. Stamping this info to the flag, allows me to move the tag around without having to cross out and re-stamping over and over. (I really need a clean looking planner, not a marked up one.)

 

I really enjoyed the Planning Work stamp set. I love the social network icons. I struggle with updating my social networking sites at times. These icons allow me to set up certain days for certain sites.

 

I am hoping this planner will help me stay organize! Time will tell!

 

Thank you for stopping by today!
