2009 Flip Desk Top Calendar

I have been creating a 2009 Calendar for our Inspirational Calendar Challenge over at the Shelf..... and FINALLY it is finished, wrapped and delivered to its new owner. I just LOVED how it turned out.... it took months and months but the end result was sooo worth it.I made the base from scratch with a few hiccups and different ideas at first but than finally worked out the design so that it would sit on the desk without toppling over, cause as the months go by most of the pages end up on one side.
This was a gift I gave to my boss as a special Christmas Present... No photos were added to the pages but she loved it and cant wait to find 12 special photos to add to the calendar. She will give it back to me and I will fix it all up for her, and maybe add a little something special to each of the photo pages. As I kept them plain as I was unsure what the photo might be to put on them later. I will enjoy getting this back and having another play with it..... I would also like to thank my friend Maria for lending me her "Bind it All".... this little thing gave me a little grief in the beginning but I should have listened to Maria's instructions LOL.

I can share with you a few pages but cannot show you them all as I will put one up each month on the SHELF...... In January we will be doing the month of March.

December DT projects

This month I got to play with Scenic Route LIBERTY PP's...... OH I just love using red white and blue. For some reason Bailey is always wearing red and I have soooo many photos that I need to scrap of him.
I was also given this little MINI STAR album from twiddlybitz...... and this is what I created.






Also I made a couple of layouts using the left over PP's...

November DT Projects

For the month of November I was given Making Memories Fa La La PP's and embellishments. I am a big fan of Making Memories and was glad to be given this kit to work with. I was also given a Kaiser Christmas Tree Tag Album.... which I made into "Believe in the Magic of Christmas" theme.


And I also made a layout using the same photo.... So love this photo of Zoey.

Quote of the DAY.

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'

LOVE this.... have a great day :)

HEIDI SWAPP

I have been a FAN of Heidi since the day I had her amazing products in my hot little hands..... I have sooo much Heidi and LOVE all her products. So I just had to go meet her at CREATE08 and I am so glad I did.... it was the most amazing experience I have ever had. She is the most amazing little pocket rocket I have ever met. She is just so full of energy and I just found every word she said so inspirational......!
We were given the most amazing kits.....

new stuff and old products and shown how to use them with so many different techniques and IDEAS. I am NOT a stamper, or like to play around with inks or even touch those masks but after yesterday I cant wait to play with this stuff even more :)
Here is a little sneak of what we received....
So look out shops I really need to get myself some more INKS.
We received one of her 9 x 9 calendars and step by step instructions on how to complete it. We only managed to get 2 pages done but it will be easy enough to get the rest completed with our own little touches as well.... I cant wait to have time over the holidays to do it.
We also got to make an AMAZING Mirror album..... OMG I just love love love it and cant wait to complete it and put photos and all that stuff all about ME.....It is just an album for US...... but if you don't do YOU than you can definitely change it of course.
I also got to meet Tanya, Lou and Kerry from the SHELF FORUM and what beautiful ladies they are and I so enjoyed their company all day and friendship..... thank you girls. Also to Nikki for driving ME, I love spending the day with you creating and just enjoying the day catching up.
We also got a little retail therapy in as the venue closed earlier than we planned which was rather sad as the day went sooooo fast. Than off to dinner we all went, thanks girls for accommodating ME... you know how fussy I am with my food...!
So again I just LOVED all the company, the day, the creating it was totally INSPIRING.... THANK YOU!!!
I didn't take photos but the other girls did and they are going to send me photos they took of ME and HEIDI:)
Will update more later.
