Calendar girls night out

I serve with the most amazing women at my church!! Every couple of months we have an "out of the box event" where we do something outside of work to have fun and build our team. This week it was at my house, and I designed calendars for us to make. I love how everyone took my basic outline and created their own personalized calendars! I used Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cart with Design Studio for the calendar names. I used lots of other Cricut carts for the embellishments! We had a blast working and crafting together!

CD Calendar for August

Here is my calendar for August! The flowers are from Cricut's George & Basic shapes. I used a Prima flower on the top. The letters are Plantin Schoolbook.




This great stack of paper I purchased at my LSS during the Cricut Swarm. The paper is so cute and really great for spring and summer.

CD Calendar for July

Here is my July page! I LOVE the Cricut cart Paper Dolls Dress Up. I found this idea from a lady on the Cricut MB to make this Uncle Sam. I wish I could remember her name! Don't you find that crafters are so wonderful to share their ideas! I love to see other's work.

CD Calendar for June

Here is the calendar page for June. It is a birthday theme, as my daughter's birthday is in June. I used Stickles (of course) for the letters and the cupcake. I used Doodlecharms to make the cupcake.

CD Calendar for May

Here is my May CD calendar page. I used the Cricut Storybook cart for the flower. I put Aleene's Paper Glaze on the flower. It is a very pretty effect.

Here is close up of the flower.

CD Calendar For April

I love the color combination of pink and brown. I originally bought this paper to do a "FAITH" mini book.

CD Calendar for March

Here is my lovely March calendar. I wanted to put a shamrock on this. I looked and looked for a shamrock in one of my MANY Cricut carts and could not find one! Finally, I thought to look through my old Creative Memories die cuts and found one. It was a little big, but it worked!


Subsequent to this, I found out about the Cricut Cheat Sheets. These have a list of all the cuts that each cart can do. I had a shamrock all along in "Paper Doll Dress Ups!" Here is the link to to the Cricut Cheat Sheet Yahoo Group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CricutCheatSheet/

I got this link from this FABULOUS blog called "Just a scrappin." This blog is linked. You should check it out!

CD calendar for February

Here is my February CD case. I used the "Figgy Pudding" papers from Basic Grey on many of the calendar pages. I absolutely love, love this paper. Of course, the fact that the majority of it is RED probably doesn't hurt! I used Stickles on "February." I used Aleene's Paper Glaze on the "love." It makes the paper look very shiny! Cool effect.

CD Calendar for January

I have been working on a CD calendar. I love the idea of re-using items that would otherwise be thrown away. This calendar uses an empty CD case as the base. I am really enjoying creating the calendar pages. It is a way to use up scraps, and since the project is fairly small, there is a real sense of accomplishment in finishing something! I wish the TONS of Stickles that I used would show up better in the picture. The little calendar itself came from a lady on the Cricut MB.
