Lollydoodle Blog Hop

Welcome to the Damask Diva Lollydoodle Blog Hop!!

If you’ve come from Cydney Fowler’s blog, you are in the right place. If you have jumped here and just discovered our blog hop, feel free to check the list at Damask Divas blog to find the complete list of blog hop participants.

I love the fun, whimsy, girlish feel of the Lollydoodle Paper Packet, but being the mom of a little boy it can be challenge. I do have two sweet nieces and one of them just celebrated her 5th birthday, so I went immediately to this paper packet!!

CTMH: Lollydoodle

Starting with a traditional white card base, I added multiple layers of B&T Duos™ from the Lollydoodle Paper Packet. Next come the stamp sets!! And seriously, how adorable is that owl?!? It comes from the new Owls Stamp Set, and is paper pieced together using Cotton Candy Cardstock, Pear Cardstock, Slate Cardstock, and White Daisy Cardstock. The next stamp sets are two of my faves in the new Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book. The banner is cut using the Artiste Cricut® Cartridge and comes from the Oodles of Doodles Stamp Set in Pear Exclusive Ink™. The sentiment comes from Belated Birthday Stamp Set {Yes, yes…I’m a bad aunt and am getting this birthday card to her a little late! But as the sentiment says on the inside of the card she is getting to celebrate her birthday longer now!!!} and is stamped in Cocoa Exclusive Ink™. To add a little flare to this card I added a few pink Flamigo Dots at the base of the B&T Duos™.

Desk Calendar {July-December}

So today is a continuation of the Karen Foster Desktop Flip Calendar I created! If you missed the original post click here. Today I’m highlighting July through December.

When you get to December you may notice that it looks a little different than the other months. There’s a good reason for that….when I was making the calendar I misread where I should be putting the dates and had them all wrong! Then the paper tore when trying to remove the numbers, and unfortunately there were no extra calendar sheets in this calendar kit. So my creative side had to kick in or I was going to have to scrap the project!!! How can you have a calendar that is missing an entire month?!?! Thankfully the Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge has a calendar frame!!! I sized it with CCR and cut it out on Black Cardstock. The Artbooking Cricut® Cartridge saved this project!!!
