12 Days of Advent

I created a smaller version of my Advent Calendar which may be more manageable for busy families.

You can start on the 1st of December and fit in the 12 days over the 24 days of Advent or you can start on December 12th and conclude on Christmas Day.

It features my photograph of Teddy and the small nativity taken for my photo calendar last year.  Teddy will be appealing to small children I expect.

It is packaged in a black metal frame which holds the 4x6 sheets.  The sheets can just be moved to the back as the days go by.

Card Order - Encouragment

I prepared these cards for a friend who ordered encouragement cards.  After researching the internet, most cards had the scripture on the front which was a good thing.  I was looking for some images I could use as backgrounds for the scriptures.  I don't have much in my inventory of watercolor.  I became aware of this site that offers images for free for all kinds of projects. I did some searching and found paintings there as well.  Pixabay has a lot to offer.  
I'm super happy with the way the card turned out.

2016 Scripture Calendar

I made this Scripture Calendar for my pastor.  I filled it with scriptures that I color printed onto vellum and then clear embossed.  I trimmed the vellum as needed.  I adhered the vellum on 2 corners then covered them with the pink punched photo corners. 

Calendar - Word Of God

I created this calendar for friends.  I printed 12 popular scripture verses in color on vellum.  Trimmed them down to fit into the 4x6 openings and used vellum adhesive to stick them to the pages. I then added photo corners which I cut with the Cricut and the Picturesque cartridge from metallic and pearl card stock. 

Calendars - Tall & Slim Scriptures

I created these calendars from my 4x11 blank calendars.  For the top one I printed selected scriptures onto Designer Paper and glued them down. For the bottom one, I printed the scriptures on card stock and trimmed them.  I rubbed the edges of the rectangles with a black ink pad. 

Card - Get Well

I made this card for a guy at work who had surgery last week. I found a card with the general idea on Splitcoast Stampers. I made it a half sheet card so there was space for people from work to sign. The squares are 2.5 square in 6 different green patterned paper. They are layered onto a black layer which provides frames for the squares. This was mounted on a pea green card. I placed a beige then a striped gross grain ribbon over the left hand side split. The sentiment was color printed as well as the greeting inside. I had a visit with him today and things are coming along well.
