2014 Studio J Calendar

Even though I use the Calendar on my phone quite a bit, there's nothing better than having ALL the family activities written on a calendar for all to see! 

Each year, one of my most favorite projects is to create my STUDIO J 12x12 monthly calendars.  I create three of them, one for myself, one for my parents and one for my in-laws.  I actually work on them all year long in STUDIO J, which makes the job go a whole lot quicker at the end of the year :)

Here's how it's done: 
First, I get these awesome 12x12 calendars from CTMH:



I stamp the name of the Month, then write in all the dates and finish it by adding some stamping that coordinates with the calendar page :)

Now for the Scrapbooked part..... I use STUDIO J!!!!!  Why???  It allows me to create a layout ONCE, then print as many as I want!  I could make 20 calendars (but I won't, haha).
Studio J makes 2-page layouts--- well, sure, it does.  Here's what I do:  1)  Use the same photos on both pages (3 on one page, 3 on the other page) and use them on 2 different calendars.  OR 2)  Create a 2-page layout and use one page on the calendar, and put the other in my album.
I do the 1st option most often!
 Let me show you:
Option 1- use one on each calendar:

Same pictures used (+1), one on each calendar :)  This was from last year's calendar


Option 2- One page for Calendar, One for album:


Here's the entire 2014 Calendar:














Take a look at my 2011, 2012 calendars too!

This is such a great idea! I've wanted to make my mom a calendar for years, so I am going to have to try this.

Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
