DIY Calendar

Today I did something that wasn't really planned. I recently purchased a DIY Calander @Younique Scrapbook Store and today I started it! Normally we do our years January to January however this month marks 1 year being on the Younique Design Team so I thought it would be a wonderful way to capture the next year's classes and other crafty fun. 

There's room to design your cover. I decided to use a photo of my craft space since this is where the magic happens. 

As well each month you have a blank page which I will use to create a layout in celebration of the month and then your calendar. 

Not sure about you but I have a stash! I got in that stash of stamps, empherma and inks and started to create the month. I'll add more as the days pass to fill it up real nice. 

Hope this brings you inspiration to start your own DIY Calendar.  Link here to purchase.

Paper line used was Stamperia Secret Diary- can't go wrong with any Stamperia lines!

The Surpreme Gift Card Holder and More!

 Not sure about you but I struggle with giving gift cards. Not because they are not appropriate (I personally LOVE them- hint-hint :) but because there's no "surprise or nothing to really unwrap.

Well that has all changed with this project! With a little imagination and lots of adhesive this magical 5x5x5 opening cube was created! Each side, as well as the inside cover and an extra free standing inside has a mini book that can hold 4 Gift cards, or 2 Gift Cards and 2 wallet size photo's- or any combination of. That's a total of 24! There is so much to unwrap and explore with each side that this is truly a gift on it's own. The inside is empty so that can be a vessel for candy, another gift or really whatever you feel you want to give.

Here are a few still photos but for the full show and tell of secrets to create, come join us at 1 EST over on the Younique Facebook Page this Saturday Nov 18.
