In all the busyness of getting ready to Christmas, this is a project I started in November. I finally finished it last week, when I needed a break from Christmas cards, sewing, wrapping, etc. Remember to double click if you want to see any more details. As usual, I set rules for myself. It makes it a lot easier to get a large project like this done, and they were:
1)use up brads - yes they're old school, but I have a lot that need to be used
2) Stick with one paper packet from CTMH if possible. (Since I'm retired from that company and won't be buying it like I used to, I wanted to remember how great their products are. Most are retired paper packs. Only 4 are still orderable.)
3) Use a CTMH stamp
4) Use the month-of-the-year circles I got from Archiver's closing out sale.
5) Use CTMH chipboard - I have a lot that needs to be used up. Some I colored with ink, some was left plain or stamped on
6) Use only neutral backgrounds - whites, shades of brown, greys, black
7) Use at least one button
