Since I was a little too late to try and get a March calendar made, I figured I would skip ahead to April! This is my usual 6-inch square calendar page that hangs in THIS stand. Jenn is hosting this week's Weekend Sketch Challenge -- you can find the sketch and her sample at her blog this morning. As soon as I saw the layout, I thought it would be perfect for my calendar!
I used a Webster's Pages' Mini Calendar Journaling Cards and stamped the dates with JustRite's Medium & Large Numbers made for the C-45 Monogram Stamper, but on the new little 1-3/16" Wood Stamper that will be available next month. The other layered papers are from Making Memories Chloe's Closet 6-inch designer papers and spiral journaling book (found at Michael's).
The chipboard letters are Maya Road's Noah alphabet - I just colored them with the same Night Sky chalk ink and then sprinkled them with transparent glitter while the ink was still wet. The new Lockhart Itty Bitty Umbrella was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto Neenah Classic Cream cardstock and punched out with Martha Stewart's supposedly 1-inch scalloped punch -- it's actually 7/8 of an inch and leaves a perfect border when placed on an Inchie Arts Inchie Square! I applied the Night Sky chalk ink directly to the the White Inchie Square, so it would match the chipboard letters. Some green gemstones accent the umbrella that was colored with Copic markers.
A green Prima flower was tucked under the Inchie. Martha Stewart's Wild Blueberry seam binding ribbon and a tied button finish off April's calendar! Be sure to check and see what Beate, Cami, Charmaine, Lori and Mary Jo stamped up for you today -- I'm sure they will inspire you to try this beautiful sketch this weekend!
