More is More

Happy Thursday! I’m happy to be playing along with the monthly Taylored Expressions Calendar Challenge.  You REALLY need to join us!  At the end of the year there is a prize package valued at over $150 up for grabs by random draw.  All you have to do is play in 10 out of 12 months…and the really cool thing is that you can go back and catch up on any month at any time.  The only requirement is that you use one of the Calendar Products offered in the TE Store.  TE stamps are not required – use whatever you like.  If you don’t have a blog, you can simply upload to an on-line gallery.  2013 products are now available, so this is a great way to get started on your holiday gifts.  Get all the details on Taylor’s blog (linked below.)

For my project today, I used the 2012 Desktop Calendar with Landscape Calendar Base because I will be starting my new job as Administrative Assistant to the Senior Pastor (Church Office Manager) soon and I’ll need a calendar for my desk.

My first official day is March 19th, so I marked that date with a Pebbles self-adhesive button heart candy dot.  I wanted to keep this fairly simple since I need to create pages for the remainder of the year as well.  {Just think about what great Christmas gifts you can make for only $4.45!  Wow!}

The bouquet image is from Rosy Posey and I stamped it on some shimmery white cardstock, colored it with Copics and punched it out with a 1 3/4″ circle punch.  It’s a layered onto black cardstock die cut with the TE small Layering Doily Die.  The whole things is popped up on some foam squares.  The verse is from Faith in Bloom. I finished off the project with some black KasierCraft rhinestones in the corners.

I’m super excited to get started in the job.  I’ve been going in two mornings a week for the last few weeks to get some training.  There is so much to learn!  And of course, being the total office supply nerd that I am, I can hardly wait to get my desk all set up.  This calendar will be a great start!

Now let’s check out what the rest of the girls have in store for us.  I know they have used a wide variety of products.  I’m sure you’ll find some wonderful inspiration!
