2020 Calendar

I'm ready for February thru December 2020 calendar using the display stand die with a few flowers and leaves from the thinlits flowers and leaf die. I also used a metal bow and lace die. I'm down at my mother's house. I used her calendar to reduce to the size I needed using her printer. Since the first is only a day away, I started with February 2020. And added a heart over the 14th. 

Supplies: Eileen Hull Display Stand 664346 and 

Eileen Hull Thinlits flower and leaf die 662811 

Eileen Hull heart over 14th 662812.

Other Supplies: Tim Holtz Adornments bows trim 

Other Supplies: Die'sire metal lace die

Scrapbook paper unknown

Big Kick tool

 Littles Sizzles mat board

To Someone Special

I made another piece using Eileen Hull scoreboard xl display stand die and love  thinlits die on this piece. The love was inked with archival black after it was die cut. 

The stamps I used on the display stand was made using a retired 1998 stampin up! set.

I used distress crayons to color the heart stamp. The paper used to ink the heart stamp has a luster. The background paper and background display stand was made with mat board and scrapbook paper. 

Thanks for Looking and come back soon.  

Display Stand

After purchasing the display stand die i used one piece of mat board with one half of 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper and then finished this piece. 

I couldn't decide what to put on the smaller piece in the foreground. In second photo I chose a decorative embellishment "The Perfect Getaway."

Normally the stand would close to be mailed to a family member or friend but I made it closed by wrapping gold thread around the background piece. 

Get Well Soon

I sent this Get Well Soon as a message on my iPhone to our daughter, she has influenza.
I'm so glad she didn't have Pneumonia. Our daughter has had a lot of health issues since last August and has been struggling to get back her good health.
I used two oval and a round die cut piece. Largest oval 3"x 4"
Tiny flowers cling stamp was inked with archival black ink and then watercolored. I made a background and foreground scene using watercolors with my water brush. I had the die cut butterfly on my craft table and this was applied to the oval.

I loved that umbrella! This photo was taken at my grandparents home, they lived up the road from us.

I printed a copy on gloss paper. Color was added to my dress using Tim's nib with fired brick distress ink.
I used Tim's stamp in the background from the stamp sheet Photo Studio #013, Tim's tiny tabs die cut for the tab, his word bands and the pen nib on this tag. To give the look of metal, I painted the tiny tab with silver dabber paint. Life Journey number 8 was added to the tab, I'm guessing that was my age.

Update: I asked my mother if she knew my age when she took this photo, she said I was around 8 years.
