Webster's Pages New Year New You November Calendar Pages

These are the November pages for the Webster's Pages® New Year New You calendar class held at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

Page Left

We will use "Jetstream" by Bazzill® as our background for the page.  From your SCRAPS of leftover "Doilies" paper, cut out six doilies that measure 2" in diameter and one doily that measures 2.5" in diameter. DO NOT CUT THE DOILIES FROM THE FULL SHEET THAT IS IN YOUR KIT! Adhere pop dots to the backs of the doilies and adhere across the top of the page to make a border.  Apply a pearl to the center of each of the 2" doilies.  Use double-sided tape to adhere the floral cameo with blue border to the 2.5" doily.

Using Anna Griffin's Cricut® Cuttlebug® Cut and Emboss "Flourish Emblem" die, cut out the lace mat from "Pretty in Pink" card stock by Stampin' Up!®.  Apply adhesive to the back and adhere the lace mat in the center of the remainder of the page.  Cut a piece of the cream floral paper 4" wide x 5" high.  Apply pop dots to the back and adhere on top of the lace mat. Cut out a green* frame with the "Top Note" die by Sizzix® for Stampin' Up!®. Apply pop dots and adhere on top of the cream floral rectangle. Cut out the quote: "With hard work you can do and be anything your mind desires. Be your best." Apply pop dots on the back of the quote. Adhere on top of the green* frame. Apply a pearl in each corner of the pink lace mat, as shown.

We are using the "Doilies" paper as the background for this page.  Cut a 1.75" high by 12" wide strip of "Sweet Summertime" by Crystal Wilkerson for Echo Park®.  Apply adhesive to the back and adhere approximately 2.5" from the top of the page.  Cut out a yellow zig zag frame using the "Top Note" die.  Apply pop dots and adhere in the center of the plaid strip. Mat the November calendar with green* paper. Apply pop dots and adhere on top of yellow zig zag frame.

* I raided my paper stash to find just the right color green card stock to match this line of papers. Unfortunately, I do not know who produced the paper. Sorry for the inconvenience.

New Year New You August Calendar Pages

These are the August calendar pages for the Webster's Pages® "New Year New You" calendar class at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

Doilies are a popular theme in this line of papers, so we are going to have fun with doilies this month!

Page Left

We will be using the reverse side of "Mark It On The Calendar" paper as our background for this page.

To make the large yellow doily that is shown, use "Pollen" card stock by Bazzill® and use the "Tatted Doily" Lucky8Punch® by We R Memory Keepers®.  Make sure the outer and inner cut options on the "Tatted Doily" punch are set to "on" to get the combined version, which makes the doily. Line up one corner of your paper in the punch. Push the lever down to punch the design. Then remove the paper and any debris that may be caught in the punch. Rotate the paper clockwise 90 degrees and repeat until you have punched out 4 corners. Remember to empty the punch.  Flip the paper over, and repeat on all 4 sides.  Adhere doily in the center of the background page.

Use the EK Success® small five-petal flower punch and Stampin' Up!® "Real Red" card stock to punch out 12 flowers to place within the inner border of the doily, as shown.  Then punch the small pink flowers from "Pinkini" card stock by Bazzill®, using the "Daisy Chain" punch by EK Success®. Cut the flowers apart from one another and place one in the center of each red flower.

Use a 4-inch round white doily and stamp it with Stampin' Up!® "Strawberry Slush" stamp pad until the doily is saturated with color.  I recommend doing this on a scrap piece of card stock or chipboard to prevent excess ink from being stamped onto your work area. Once the doily is dry, adhere it in the center of the yellow doily, and then attach the August calendar on top of the red doily.

We will be using "Passionate" by Bazzill® as the background for this page.

Stamp two doilies onto white card stock using the Stampin' Up!® "Doily" stamp and "Strawberry Slush" ink.  ***Ink the stamp while it is rubber side up and then place your white card stock on top, rubbing over all parts of the rubber. This will help you to get the full image.***. Once you have stamped the two doilies, fussy cut them both out of the card stock,  as close to the stamped image as possible. Adhere one of the stamped doilies in the upper left corner of the "Passionate" card stock. Adhere the other in the lower right corner. Adhere green leaves, a pale yellow flower and a pink Twinkle Goosebump®  by Queen and Co.® to the center of each stamped doily.

Adhere a 4-inch round white doily in the other two corners.  Adhere the saying " Not Afraid To Change" on top of the white doily in the lower left corner of the page.  To the doily in the upper right corner, adhere the saying "The Best Dreams Happen When You Are Awake".

To provide a place for notes about the month, we are going to turn the "Believe You Can And You Will" sign into a pocket. Set the sign in front of you, right side up. Turn it over to the back side, making sure you know where the top of the sign is.  Run 1/4-inch double-sided tape along the very edge of the two long sides and the bottom of the sign.  Pull off the tape liners, and adhere firmly in the middle of your page.  This pocket is the perfect size for an office tag or two so you can write down the special events of August.

I hope August was wonderful!  See you in September!
