Well today isn’t a card but a handmade gift idea. We are coming into the season of giving and I thought I’d show you what I have been working on as one of the gift ideas I have personally done for my kids teachers. A little Mini magnetic calendar. It was a great way for me to use up my tray of scrap pretty designer series papers.

I made this canvas for a dear friend of mine Angela.
Using Rich Razzleberry cardstock to create the large flower I then ran it through the Bigshot using the Fun Flowers Bigz Die. I used shimmer spray to coat the flower then heat embossed curl the flower petals shape. I also created mini rosettes using the First Edition Specialty Paper. The lace, flowers, roses, trinkets, tissue paper and string of pearls I bought of my friend Geordie to help get me started in making my own canvases.
November is a crazy month for me as while I am trying to prepare for Christmas I am also making birthday cards as it is one of the busiest birthday months for me. How lucky am I that all my friends are so different that I get to play around with different styles.
I got the Hat card from Valita's Fresh Folds
Here is the link on how to make it -
