My Decorated Calendar...

Hello lovelies.

I would like to show you a calendar that I have decorated.

I do this every year as a Christmas gift for my lovely husband. It take's some time to do, but I think the end result is well worth it. I usually choose a different theme each year, but since we got Peggy I think it's just perfect to use her photo's. 

It is a nice way of scrapbooking  her life and is a lovely keep sake too. I think this album also shows just how much the three of us love each other! We have lot's of fun and so much happiness in our house with our golden girl!

The calendar is a Graphic 45 Easel calendar. I have used various papers that I already had in my stash. I wanted to use a theme of button's and die cuts too, so you will see these on each page. Some of the embellishment's are made by East of India. The heart and rose on the October page I made using Ultra Thick Embossing Enamels and Crystals, with my melt pot and moulds.

August is very pink, as that is my birthday month lol. Well pink is my favourite colour after all!

I hope you enjoy looking through the 12 months of a lovely year with Peggy!














Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog and see my calendar.

I love seeing Darren's face when he opens his gift and looks through each month. It makes every minute of making this worth while.

Have fun and happy crafting,
lots of love

Graphic 45 - A Place In Time Easel Calendar...

Hello lovelies,
 
I hope you are all keeping well and not getting too worn down with all the Christmas preparations!
 
I have just finished decorating a calendar that I make as a Christmas Gift for my husband every year. I have been doing these for quite a lot of years now and I try to pick a different theme each year. This year I wanted to go with a vintage theme. We have been together nearly 21 years now and I wanted to show how much this means to me through the pictures I have used. I have chosen photos of just us two, apart from one month where I have chosen a photo of the lovely doggy we used to have. May was very much a part of us, we loved her to bits and we called her May as we got married in May!
 
May was a gorgeous, friendly labrador and we miss her very much, it didnt feel right not to include her. Anyhoo, the photos I have changed to Sepia and I have used a Graphic 45 Easel Calendar and the Place In Time Collection, which was just perfect for this.
 
I absolutely adore my husband, he is the love of my life. I think you can see from the photo's how much we love each other...I am truly blessed and also very thankful too! If my hubby reads this he will tell me to stop being so soppy lol.
 
So, without further ado here is the end result...I hope you all like it.........
