Angela Calendar Part II

Good Morning everyone. We are now sold out of the Witch Way to the Treats set. We have added two new items to the sale section of the website. We are retiring two additional stamp sets in preparation for our November Release - the Christmas Stamp set from 2008 original price $14.95 now $9.95 and the Baby Stamp Ensemble. - original price $14.95 now $9.95. We still have a few Harmony Classic Circle III sets left which come with the wooden stamper- these are a great deal- you receive the block for $1.00 less than you can purchase our 3 1/4" block and all the stamps are free!! Gotta love a great deal!!

Today Angela is sharing the second half of her calendar project- you will love how she incorporated lots of JustRite Stamp sets into her project. If you would like the printable calendar template email Angela - agbark@roadrunner.com and she will email it to you directly.


For the month of July I used a piece of fireworks paper from Stemma. The month of “July” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Night Sky. For “God Bless America” I used the 25 point Curlz Font and my small horizontal wood stamper to spell this out and die cut it using the Spellbinders Pinking Circle Nestabilities. The stars were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Accent Essentials cartridge. I applied silver glitter to each star for extra “bling”

For the month of August I used a piece of floral paper from DCWV. The month of “August” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Aegean Blue. The flowers are from Prima with Kaiser rhinestones added to the centers.


For the month of September I used a piece of paper from the DCWV Grade School Stack. The month of “September” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Hint of Pesto. The school bus was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. I stamped the “S.A.D. #21” using the Times Roman 15pt font from JustRite Stampers. 15 point Times Roman Font is only available for purchase with the 2" stamper.

For the month of October I used Halloween paper from DCWV. The month of “October” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Pumpkin Spice. I stamped the “BOO” center from the Witch Way To The Treats set (now sold out) onto white cardstock using Brilliance Jet Black and then clear embossed it to give it a shine. I cut the spider web from Making Memories Spellbound paper and pop dotted the stamped image to it. The spider was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge.
For the month of November I used a piece of leaf paper from Provocraft. The month of “November” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Gingerbread.

Once all of the months are done bind them all together using the Bind-it-all and ¾” white wire.

Angela's JustRite Desktop Calendar

Don't forget that today is the last day of the Font Sale. Save 30% off all JustRite Font & the Horizontal & Vertical Stamper. Sales ends at midnight (Pacific Time Zone).
For the next two days Angela Barkhouse is guest blogging and sharing with us this terrific calendar she designed using a variety of JustRite Products.

Here's Angela:

The idea for this project came to me in the middle of the night. I woke up out of a sound sleep, went to my design room and drew it out on a piece of paper so that I wouldn’t forget it by morning. To begin my calendar, I needed to create a stand for it. To do this, I took a 10 1/2” x 6” piece of cardstock and scored it at 5” & 7”. For stability I cut pieces of chipboard, adhered it to the cardstock
and then covered it with another piece of cardstock. I applied adhesive to the back to make the stand.
Now for the fun part of my project – designing the calendar pages. For each month I chose the designer paper first and then chose the ink color to match.

I used the new Calendar Borders & Centers set from JustRite Stampers. This set is perfect for someone like me who is just learning to color – this set needs little to no coloring.
Each month was stamped twice onto white cardstock and then diecut using the Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, which is a perfect match to this stamp set. I used pop dots between the month & border as well as between the border and my designer paper.
I made the mini calendar on my computer and cut it out –( FYI – the size of the mini calendar is 3 ½” x 1 5/8”) and then I matted the calendar onto matching cardstock.
Each calendar page measures 6” x 4 ¾” – cut from corresponding cardstock. The designer paper is cut 5 3/8” x 4 5/8”.

For the month of January I used a piece of snowflake paper from the DCWV Christmas Stack. The month “January” was stamped onto white cardstock using Brilliance Sky Blue. The stamped snowflake is from the Merry Little Christmas set by JustRite.The snowflakes were cut using the EK Success Kaleidopunch snowflake. Each snowflake has a Kaiser rhinestone in the center and I placed 3 Kaiser rhinestones below the month.


For the month of February I used a piece of OXOX paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “February” was stamped onto white cardstock using Brilliance Rocket Red. The hearts were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge.

For the month of March I used a piece of St. Patrick’s Day paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “March” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Tea Leaves. I used the St. Patrick’s Day center from the Favorite Occasions Borders & Centers set stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Tea Leaves, colored the image with my Copics, then mounted onto brown cardstock. The shamrocks were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge.

For the month of April I used a piece of Easter paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “April” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Pink Grapefruit. The eggs were cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. Then I applied Stickles to decorate the eggs.
For the month of May I used a piece of “Mother” paper from the DCWV Spring Stack. The month of “May” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Pink Petunia. . Using the small horizontal wood stamper, I used the Curlz 25 point font and spelled “Moms Are Special” & “I’m Glad You’re Mine” and then diecut them using the Spellbinders Blossom Nestabilities. The flowers are from Creative Impressions with Kaiser rhinestones in the center.
For the month of June I used a piece of BBQ paper by Flair Designs. The month of “June” was stamped onto white cardstock using Versamagic Jumbo Java.The “#1 Dad” ribbon was made using the 50 point Curlz font as well as the Spellbinders Pinking Circle Nestabilities. The “Dad” embellishment is from my stash.


Stop back in tomorrow to see the second half of Angela's calendar.

Day One with Angela Barkhouse- Autumn Scrapbooking

This week Angela Barkhouse will be our guest blogger. She has tons of fun projects that you will want to case-including Scrapbook Pages, Mini albums and a fun Calendar Project.

This month we do not have a new release (a little birdie told us that you have a few more items on your wish list that you need to purchase before the next release). But don't fret because we have a jam packed month full of events planned for you including a Mega Font Blog Hop!! If you loved our Christmas Blog Hop...you won't want to miss our next blog hop. So....

The Blog Hop is so large that it will be a two day event!! We have 50 designers lined up to inspire you to pick up your JustRite Font and get busy customizing everything you make!! Or if you have taken the font plunge yet....you are going to want too!!

Today Angela breaks out her font and her Autumn Blessing Stamps to create this fun fall page!!
Every year my daughter Emily just can't wait to rake leaves. She grabs the rake and spends time making a pile of leaves, jumps in them, and then just "leaves" them there for me to pick up. Someday I need to teach her how to actually pick up the leaves and take them to the woods.
When I received the new Autumn Blessings Stamps, I knew right away that I was going to make a scrapbook page. When I saw all the images for this set I knew it would be the perfect set for lot's of my Fall scrapbook pages. I stamped my center & border onto Neenah White cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I stamped the center and border seperately so that I could popup the center image. I colored the image with my Copic markers and then diecut each with Spellbinders Classic Oval Nestabilities. These oval stamps and the oval nestabilities are the perfect match. The two scalloped mats are Spellbinders Scallop Oval Nestabilities.

The trees on either side of my page were cut using my Cricut Expression and the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge. I really like the new options on the Cricut Expression whihch allowed me to choose the option "Fit To Page" which cuts the tree large enough for a scrapbook page without having to guess and cut multiples while trying to find the right size. In this case, the tree is cut at 11 1/2". For this page I decided to cut the tree in half so that I could frame each side of the page with a tree branches. This requires for one side of the tree to be flipped over before I embossed the tree trunks using the Cuttlebug Forest Branches embossing folder.

My colorful leaves are also cut using my Cricut Expression and the Doodlecharms cartridge. For my pile of leaves I cut several different sizes of leaves adjusting them as I filled my page with leaves. Next I decided to add extra journaling to my page by picking words tha remind me of Fall.
This is where JustRite stamps came in handy once again. I just loaded the word onto my horizontal wood stamper with the Times Roman 25 point font and stamped it onto the leaves. The interlocking grids ensure that my letters are always lined up perfectly. This makes journaling and personalizing my pages so easy.


The acorns were cut from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. They were applied to the page using popdots to lift them up above the leaves.

Be sure to stop into tomorrow to see Angela's next project for Back to School! You are going to love it!!
