Crafting and Inkeeness have been significantly absent for a while, as we are between abodes and staying at someone else's lake cottage. But things finally settled down long enough on Sunday morning to think about an August calendar page. I am SO glad that Kate Crane started this monthly calendar project lo those many months ago on her blog, the Kathyrn Wheel.
And while I wasn't thrilled with the background I had grabbed on the way out of the old house, I did at least have it! I made the day tags out of manila tags since that was literally all I had with me except scrapbook paper. Out came a few of the stamps I have with me and some Distress Stains and I was in business. It was SO FUN TO PLAY.
As you can see, it's a bit too much on the sparkly side, which is why I didn't use it months ago, but now I'm LOVING it!! August is about biding our time until the house is done.
I did start on a calendar in June - late - didn't finish, and skipped July all together. I found I really missed it...
So I'm back on the band wagon. Happy August everyone!!
