April Calendar

Have you guys been making your 2013 Calendars each month? I am really enjoying doing these!

The tag I included on April's calendar was actually a tag I made in January. You can find that original post HERE. 

• BoBunny Double Dot cardstock (shop TSQ), and various other scraps
• DESIGNER'S CALENDAR:
• "April" cut @ 5" with shadow
• Grid cut @ 5 1/2" and matted with various papers
• Day abbreviations cut @ 1"
• Numbers cut @ 1"
• Important Days stamped with "It's All About You" from Cardz TV Stamps using Ruby Red ink from Stampin' Up 

Here are the details on the Funky Chicken Rain Dance Tag:

• ELEGANT EDGES:
• "Design 2" p. 70 cut @ 5" with shadow
• "Design 2" p. 70 cut twice @ 4 3/4" in 2 different patterned papers
• One of the papers was cut and placed on the bottom for the "rain puddle" look
• 3 BIRDS ON PARADE:
• Rain birdie p. 30 cut @ 3 1/2"
• Wings cut again using Cricut Craft Room stretching them to a larger size just for fun and placed at different angels than what the manual shows - again, just for fun
• Everything inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink
• Bird and Umbrella adhered with foam tape for dimension
• Yellow lashed googlie eyes from Hobby Lobby
• Black faux stitching and dots added to umbrella and rain boots
• Ribbon from Michael's Dollar Bin
• The Robin's Nest Blue tear drops added with glue dots for rain
• CARDZ TV STAMPS:
• "Critter Captions" used for sentiment stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink
• Background pattern papers from Doodle Deux 6x6 pad I got at Hobby Lobby

I removed the February calendar, slid the March one over and pinned up April with Clothespins. 

Thanks for coming by today!
