Hi all! Welcome to the November edition of the Taylored Expressions Monthly Calendar Challenge!   You are all invited to play along. All you need to do is use any calendar product from the TE store and link your project to the Inlinkz button on Taylor's blog.  If you play along in 10 or more of the monthly challenges, you will be entered in a drawing to win a TE prize pack valued at over $150!!  Please use the keyword TECALCHAL when entering your project to online galleries.  Getting a late start?  It's perfectly okay, all you need to do is link up your projects at any time in the coordinating month's Inlinkz on Taylor's blog before December 31st, So there's still a little time left to join in the fun. 8-)

I will be using the Perpetual Calendar this month. The Perpetual Occasions calendar is the perfect solution for keeping track of birthdays, anniversaries, and other important occasions!! The calendar is printed on sturdy 100 lb. white cardstock with blank inserts separating each month. The blank inserts can be decorated any way you choose. It can be used year after year and it makes a wonderful gift. You can see all the Fabulous calendar products HERE.

For my December page I chose to use the Super Cute The Cool Crowd Stamp set! I just LOVE all the Sweet Snowmen and Fun Festive Sentiments too! Just Perfect for a December Calendar Page, don't ya think?!... 8-) I stamped Sweet Snowmen and little snowy hills with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Choice Snow White, colored them up with my trusty Copics, did a little fussy cutting and popped them up with a bit of foam tape.. I created my emboss resist snowflake BG with Versamark ink, clear EP and Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I cut it out and scored the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look and matted up the whole ensemble with Bazzill CS. To finish it all up I stamped my Cool Crowd Sentiment, added a bit more shading and stamped a few more Cool Crowd snowflakes with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I also added a couple Make a Snowflake Die cuts, a little Liquid Applique, a few gems and a touch of Stardust Stickles here and there for a little added sparkle! 8-)
