Calendar Blog Hop....

Hello Everyone... Okay it is time for the wonderful Calendar Blog Hosted by Karel at One By One the Flamingos are Stealing My Sanity

I am so excited and nervous... I have never made layouts or calendars before... I have the months January and April.. You will be visiting 12 blogs that have 2 months on each. This hop is for Dec.28-30. There will be a big blog candy.... Details for that are below... Hope you enjoy the hop...

For the January Calendar I used various SVGfiles from www.svgcuts.com. I just love them. I used my ecraft machine but if you have a cricut that is awesome too... I made carnations to add to this layout. The numbers are just oval shapes about 1.5 inches and I cut the numbers out and glued them to it... It is a fairly easy layout to make.

For my April calender I used the Easter Collections from www.svgcuts.com. I just made a basket and eggs. I used my Martha Stewart glitter to decorate the eggs... The bunnies are about 1.5 inches and I add numbers that I cut out. 


I hope you like the calendars I made for you today Now you are off to
