Yay, I finally finished using up all my 2018 calendars from Taylored Expressions. I swear every year I buy calendars and tell myself to start early. But the calendars usually just sit on my desk for a good few months before I even open them to make a calendar! Though I think I did better this past year than previous years. This year instead of just being motivated, I need to be more disciplined! I need to finish goals and check off my to do list even if I don't feel like doing anything. I guess that is the trap you fall into when you work at home and work for yourself.
Here is the first batch of dog calendars I made using Mama Elephant's new dog die. You can make a lot of different kinds of dogs with the die but I chose to make a simple one because I procrastinate too much.
Here is a close up. I think he is still pretty cute being a simple dog.
This is my second and last batch of calendars. I used one of the dogs from Mama Elephant's Dog Agenda stamp set. He is holding a couple of money bags and I thought that is so cute and funny.
I paired the image with a sentiment also from Mama Elephant that says "wishing you good fortune." I blended the background and stamped the sentiment with distress oxides. I love how the distress oxides stamp! They are so clear and dark and don't usually have to stamp the image or sentiment more than once. I have some of the colors from the first set that came out but wondering if I need the other colors. They are all kind of similar, aren't they?
Okay, that is it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
