MORE PERPETUAL CALENDAR PAGES

Hey there, happy Sunday!  Before I get started showing you more Taylored Expressions Perpetual Calendar pages, I would like to say goodbye to Google Reader.  *sniff*  Thanks to all of you that have been following my blog...if you are interested in continuing your subscription, you may want to consider trying Bloglovin'.  There is a new widget on the right hand side of my blog for you to follow me on Bloglovin' OR if you want to import your Google Reader to Bloglovin' so you can continue to follow all of your favorite blogs, follow this link.  It's really easy and only takes a few minutes, but you have to do it tonight!

Now on to the calendar pages...I've been having a blast making these pages!  The June page is a sponged sunset and the Beach Border silhouette die.  LOVE!  The sun was punched from Copic Mask It.  Several Memento inks (see supply list below) were sponged for the sky, the mask was removed and ink sponged onto the sun to soften it.  The border die cut completes the page...easy!

I had a snow flurry in mind when making the January page (probably because it's been stinkin' hot here on the Oregon Coast!).  I started off using a toothbrush to spritz colorless masking fluid onto the panel.  Once it was dried, Memento London Fog was sponged over the entire panel then the masking fluid was rubbed off.  Make a Snowflake dies were cut from glitter card stock then adhered directly to the panel.

The last one for today is February.  For such a tiny little panel, it sure has a lot going on!  The Cloud Border die was used to create the sponged background.  Love Tree was cut, colored with Copic markers then adhered directly to the sponged panel.  The Picket Fence Border was adhered over the tree and a heart from Cupid's Arrows was popped up on foam.
