December Calendar Pages for Graphic 45 Place in Time

These are the pages we made for the Graphic 45 Place in Time calendar class at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

For the December title page, cut out the picture of Santa with the children. Center it on the "December" page.  Cut a small portion of the "Happy Holidays" border and adhere across upper left hand corner of the Santa picture, as shown.  Using the felt snowflake included in your kit, apply some adhesive to the back of the snowflake and adhere it  to the lower right corner of the Santa picture. I did a little fussy cutting around the "A happy Christmas to you" chipboard because it was not centered correctly on my chipboard.  I inked the edges to conceal the cut side. I used double-sided tape to adhere it to the felt snowflake.

For the December calendar page, cut out the December title and mat it on the green strip of paper in your kit.  Adhere it to the center of the blank calendar page. Adhere a green doily from your kit over each swirl that is printed on the calendar page.  Add the Christmas tree epoxy embellishment in the center of each doily.

Cut out the tree border and adhere it approximately .25 inch away from the top of your green card stock. Adhere the photo mats as shown.  Cut out the December "list" and adhere it about 1 inch away from the right side of the green card stock. This is so you have enough room for the snowflake embellishment in the bottom right corner of the list.  Adhere the red snowflake from your kit.  Cut out the Santa stamp with your stamp scissors and use a pop dot to raise it up for some dimension.  Cut out the "Be Merry" and "A Merry Christmas" tags.  Adhere "Be Merry" first, then adhere "A Merry Christmas" at an angle on the right side of "Be Merry". Place a red snowflake from your kit so that it covers a little bit of the left of each tag.  Adhere the "December 25" chipboard tag with double-sided tape.

From your sticker sheet, take the "Merry Christmas" (English only) border and adhere it across the top of your green card stock, about .25 inch away from the top of the page.  Cut out the "Merry Christmas" (many languages) border and adhere it about .25 inch away from the bottom of the page.  Adhere mats as shown. Cut out the "From Santa" and "Swirl" tags, punch out the holes with a hole punch, and tie a simple bow from the sheer ribbon in your kit.  There is enough ribbon for you to also tie a bow on the "Santa in his sleigh" chipboard.  From your sticker kit, adhere the "Dec. 25" sticker in the sky on the "Santa in his sleigh" chipboard.  Use double sided tape to adhere it under the left photo. (I chose to place the chipboard piece at the bottom of the page because the dark colors and thicker material of the chipboard would be too "heavy" if placed above the mat.)  Adhere the two gift tags about the photo mat on the right side of the page.

November Calendar Pages for Graphic 45 Place In Time

Here are the November Calendar Pages made for the Place in Time calendar class held at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

This is the November title page. Cut out the girl making the pie and the "A grateful heart is a joyful heart" strip.  Adhere to the November paper as shown. Using double-sided tape, attach the chipboard pumpkins directly beneath the "grateful heart" strip.  From your class kit, use the green twine to tie a bow in the chipboard Thanksgiving tag.  Use double-sided tape to adhere the tag in the upper left corner of the pie girl  picture.

Cut out the November title strip and adhere it to the center of the blank calendar page.  If you like, you could add some pumpkins or leaves amid the swirls.

Adhere the photo mats to the brown card stock as shown.  Cut out the "Harvest Time" block and the "Give Thanks" tag block. Adhere them as shown.  Apply adhesive to an orange leaf and apply to the bottom left corner of the "Give Thanks" tag block. Using double-sided adhesive tape, attach one of your metal quotes across part of the leaf and the bottom right of the tag. Adhere a yellow and brown leaf as shown at the bottom right corner of the photo mat on the left side of the page, and add a green and yellow leaf to the upper left corner of the photo mat on the right side of the page. (I know that was wordy...re-read if necessary!) Above the 4 leaves, center the "Thanksgiving Day" poem.  In the upper right portion of the brown card stock, add the "Harvest Time" block, making sure to leave enough space for the orange leaf to be placed in the upper left hand corner of the "Harvest Time" block.

Cut out the "November list", the "tree with pumpkins", "two girls with basket" and "give thanks quote" from your cut-aparts sheet. Cut out the entire stamp strip as one unit.  You may choose to cut the edges of the stamp block with your stamp scissors if you like.  I chose not to. Adhere all the cut pieces, photo mats and yellow leaves (from your kit), as shown.
