Scrapping the Little Things...My Creative Time!!












Today is a "Scrapping the Little things" day at My Creative Time. I've decided to make a calendar for my parents for Christmas. Today's layout will be January. I used a plethora of My Creative Time products to make this LO...love it! I don't have any pics as my daughter is away at school...she'll be back in February...unfortunately that means a photo session. My daughter loves it...my son...not so much. Hopefully I can get 3 pics for this LO before they kill each other...I used a stamped sentiment to heat emboss a background piece, and I used the small snowflake die as a mask to sponge the snowflakes on the calendar portion. Well...I guess this is what my DT sister Kim would call a "photo heavy post"...sorry. It was super hard to get good pics of this...I don't know why...Thanks for dropping by...Lee-Ann

Awesome just awesome your story and your calendar LO idea I love it. What a unique and clever idea. Love so love how you used all of Miss Emma's goodies thanks for the inspiration. I know it's so hard to photo works like this as I do it too and it's all in the lighting and there's nothing better than bright sunlight but most time that's hard to come by but your pics look really good here but I do know how you feel.
You are a very talented gal and oh so creative. Love it all!!!

A calendar is a great gift idea. Good luck getting 3 good pictures of the kids. Maybe if you tell them it is for Grandma. Great use of MCT products.
