Happy Saturday! It's still cold out and a terrific day to stamp! Just wanted to share my latest project with you. I made this calendar cover to give to my next hostess. My goal is to send something that she will want to "show off" to her friends to help get them interested in coming to the party. I picked up some 2 year calendars at the old Big Lots yesterday and decided to alter them. For this one I used with TAC's Uptown Girl paper collection. I've been using that collection a lot lately, probably because it's so girly and has a definite Valentine's Day theme to it. I put a piece of Uptown Girl on the cover of the calendar and then added that black strip of cardstock with all that awesome funky ribbon attached to the back of it so it flares out the side and gives it some depth. Took another piece of the paper and cut out the "N" out of it. Then decided to glitter it up a little and so I used my embossing pen and went around the edges and used Gold embossing powder and embossed it. You can't see that part very well in the picture, but it's there. Gave it a nice "wow" look! I love how it came out. So what are you going to stamp today? Ever try altering anything? It's easy! Go grab a notebook and alter it! Have a great day!
