Perpetual Calendar - May to November

Well I got them all finished in time to give when we celebrated on Sunday. I had so much fun making this calendar and they are such amazing cuts. My mom loved it when she opened it.

MAY RM00080

I added a couple of gems to the posts for a little bling.

JUNE RM00081

This is exactly how my hubby mows the lawn.

JULY RM00082

I added a couple of butterflies flying around the picnic.

AUGUST RM00083

I sprayed Sheer Shimmer Spritz on the chalkboard and I think it looks a little like left over chalk dust.

SEPTEMBER RM00100

The twine that I ordered came in the mail on Friday just as I finished this page so I was able to use some for his belt and he looks so cute.

OCTOBER RM00101

I added a little white gel pen to the roof and tree to make some frost and some gold glitter pen to the moon and pumpkin faces for some glow. It really looks like those pumpkins have a candle inside.

NOVEMBER RM00102

This little lady looks too darn cute to even think about eating for Thanksgiving dinner. I added gems around the frame also.

Perpetual Calendar - February RM00097 - March RM00098 - April RM00099

I fear that I may not get my entire calendar finished before Christmas.  I am ahead of the current month so I guess I can give it to my mom and then finish it a little at a time or kick it into high gear and get 2 done each day.

FEBRUARY RM00097

I ran the base layer of the heart through my Xyron and attached the top layer and then heat embossed the remaining that was sticky. I put a metal gem in the middle of each one of the flowers and used my new tag maker (I looked everywhere for it and finally found it at Joann's online) to frame the sentiment which is from Pink by Design "Love Always" set.

MARCH RM00098

There wasn't much added to this layout except a whole LOT of stitching. I also used pearlized paper for the gold and it really makes it shimmer.

APRIL RM00099

I used a Gelly Roll metallic pen to highlight the flowers and white and black for the other stitching. I added a green gem from Hobby Lobby for the dot of the "i".
