Some embossing for the Artful times

Last autumn, I joined a group of women making calendars for 2013 at "the craft barn". This is my cover for my finished calendar.

I used 3 different embossing folders on my "frame, slide mounts & coin holder" from Sizzix. At the artful times, they ask for embossing folders this week, so this will be my entry to their challenge.

The background is a patterned paper from ILS, called POPS OF 09.
I used a stamp from Ali Edwards, thickers from American crafts and a Midway TIN PIN from October afternoon .

What about the hidden words behind the embossed "frames"? = my wishes for this year!

Wish you all a splendid 2013!!!

My finished calendar for 2013

Here you see my 12 calendar cards made for THE CRAFT BARN challenge. I loved every minute of it!

Now I will put them together with bookrings and enjoy every single month of the new year, remembering what I thought of creating these 12 cards.

Hope you like them too!

My august card for the craft barn.

This week the challenge from the craft barn is "children or cute".

I made my card as cute as I could using paper from nikkivils "my lil' monster". No stamps today! Weird - I love my stamps!

My april calendar card.

This is my 4th calendar card for the craft barn. The theme was to doodle , and so I did.

... looking at the date, I just realize that today, 23 years ago, we moved from Austria to Luxemburg. Austrias national day today...

Great fun!

March , calendar card "yellow, white and green".

... and this is the 3rd and last one for today - The Craft Barns' calendar challenge 3 - march.

I'm using all my new stuff from the mega event at Scrapbook Werkstatt last weekend. I feel very lucky that I am able to use my left hand even though I have to keep my shoulder in one position. I don't feel much pain either...

Before the mega event and before going to hospital, I prepared some backgrounds so I could keep up with the different activities in the blog world. So great to have internet when I'm not allowed to leave the house!!!

Once more.... - happy Sunday!

Calendar 2013 for the craft barn - JANUARY

Some scrappers I admire more than others, and Laury 55 definitely is one of them. She uses the colors I like and the style is similar to mine as well (well, so I think anyway...:-)).

Checking her blog the other day, I found out that the Craft Barn is doing a calendar for 2013 right now.
I'm late joining , but not too late.

So this is my calendar card for January 2013, using vellum. The info is to be found here.

Wish you all a nice and sunny Sunday!
