Savvy Stampers Club

I am so very excited about our up coming Savvy Stampers class at For Keep Sakes.
 We have several New Members who are joining this January. What a nice way to start the new year?
This Tuesday we will be making three lovely cards from  the Crafty Individuals stamps. I love the Vintage feel to these, and was very pleased at how they turned out. And I must not be the only one, because several of the ladies who are new to the group joined because they liked these three cards' design.
So, looking forwarded to seeing everyone this coming Tuesday! Hugs!

Happy New Year Perpetual Calendar

Hello Everyone,!
Veronica, here again to share my first project for Gina's 2014 design team.

I'm excited to show off this fun project. I fell in love with it from the moment I first saw it, but was waiting for just the right paper. I found the perfect match, and just in time for the New Year!
I used Bo Bunny's The Avenues. I love the Victorian feel that it has, with it's mix of old fashioned clocks, and old screened and wooden framed doors and shutters. I was watching Alfred Hitchcock's old classic Black & White film, Gas Light while working on this project, and it really got me inspired for the Old Victorian London! This Perpetual Calendar has that feel to it, and I hope you enjoy taking a look, as much as I enjoyed working on it.




 Gina's Bird Cage went perfect with this paper line. All I did was Gesso the cage, then sprayed with Perfect Pearls, and Radiant Rain mists to give it an antique feel. I added the wooden spools to give the Calendar  pedestals to stand on.
 The Whole Calendar was mainly done in the Bo Bunny paper, all but the inside,which I then again used Gesso, crackle paint, and the same colors of mist and inks to give it that over all aged look to it.

 I love the clocks on this paper! Really goes well for a Calendar theme, as you track your days.
Thank you so much for taking a look, and I pray that the year 2014, has nothing but Blessings for you and yours.
