New Year New You Webster's Pages September 2014 Calendar Pages

These are the September 2014 calendar pages for the New Year New You class held at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

Page Left

We will be using "Frosted Kiwi" by Bazzill® as the background for this page. Approximately 2.5 inches from the top of the page, adhere the striped border pieces which are in your kit. (There will be a gap in the center of your page, but it will be covered up by the large label we are going to cut out next.)

Using the largest framelit from Stampin' Up!®'s "Labels" collection, cut a label from Bazzill®'s "Passionate" card stock. Use Stampin' Up!® white craft ink to give the label a chalky look. Center the September "New Year New You" (Webster's Pages®) calendar in the middle of the label. Use Kaisercraft® "Antique Rose" rhinestones to embellish the edge of the label as shown, using the largest and smallest rhinestones from the pack. Add some pop dots to the back of the label and adhere in the center of the two striped pages.

Using "Old Olive" card stock (Stampin' Up!®) and the Bigz ™ Tulip die (by Sizzix® for Stampin' Up!®), cut out two sets of the tulip design. Set aside all pieces except for the two fleur de lys shapes.  Adhere one on either side of the label, angling them and embellishing as shown.

Using "Passionate" card stock and all five "Floral Frames" (by Sizzix® for Stampin' Up!®), we are going to make a layered flower for the page.  Nest all five dies within each other and run through your Sizzix® Big Shot™ die-cutting machine. You will end up with five flower layers.  Use the white craft ink to give the flowers a chalky look like you did on the label. Adhere pop dots on the backs of all the flower layers. Beginning with biggest layer, adhere to the center of the page underneath the label. Then add the next biggest layer, turning it so that it is not a perfect fit within the largest layer, but slightly offset so you can see the "Frosted Kiwi" paper peeking through. Continue with the remaining three layers, remembering to offset each layer.

Go back to the tulip design pieces you set aside earlier. Find the two tulip-shaped pieces. Adhere pop dots to the back and attach on either side of the flower. Find your scroll pieces and place them on either side of the tulips, taking note of the right side of each scroll. Place the scrolls right side up in your Xyron®, along with the two large dots and four small dots. Run all through the Xyron® and adhere as shown.

Cut four more small flower shapes from "Passionate" card stock. Layer two flowers together using a pop dot between them, and adhere to the other side of the tulip design.

Embellish the large flower, tulips, scrolls, and small flowers with the rhinestones as shown.

Page Right

We will be using "Path of Happiness" from Webster's Pages® "New Year New You" collection as the background for this page.

Adhere the large quote "You Never Know How Strong You Are And Your Strength Will Keep You Going" to the center of the page.

Add the following small quotes as shown:

Illuminate
I Am Strong
We Are Born to Shimmer
A Sparkle of Strength
Glow
We Are Stronger Than We Realize

Embellish the four corners of the large quote and the ends of each small quote with rhinestones, as shown.

I hope September was blessed and that October will be wonderful! Stay strong on your journey to a new you!
