Turning the Page November 2026

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the first day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our November page.

By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

Email link is on the sidebar.

Kokeshi Dolls for Fun

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I had so much fun playing with Nancy's Kokeshi dolls when she came to visit,

that I had to pick them up when they went on sale.

I'll warn you.  This is a long post!

With an embossed kimono and embossed vellum in the background.

More embossed vellum.  The layout was perfect to cover a boo boo.

The gold band was in my metallic gold cardstock waiting for a special place.

Some more of the embossed vellum.  I think this is about the last of it...

except for a few little strips that I couldn't bear to throw away.

Our swap theme at Craft Group this month was Asian.  I'm happy to report

that they were a hit.

I hope you have a fun Friday and a fun weekend getting crafty!

Enjoy!

Winged Greetings

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I love this sweet layered chickadee but I needed him to face in a different direction.

So I turned him over and watercolored the back side with Zigs.

The branch was colored with Ohuhu markers. The curve of the branch fits

perfectly in the open center of this embossing.

I think this is one of my favorite Christmas cards this year.

Challenges:

Double D - Wings

Stamps:  Signature Christmas (ret PTI)

Ink:   Baked Brown Sugar (ret SU)

Paper:   Neenah Natural, Watercolor (Strathmore)

Deer to Me Noel

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Last month I won the random draw at the Papertrey Ink challenge.

So I definitely wanted to join in again this month to say thank you.

I used some of my winnings to get their sample packet of cardstock and 

patterned paper in the colors they are requiring for this month's challenge.

I thought these colors would be perfect for the Deer to Me set of dies that are

favorites in my Christmas collection.

I am loving their cardstock and patterned paper.  The weight is great and their

colors are lovely!

I've die cut the deer with bubble wrap to get the nice embossing and brushed

the edges with some Honey Nut ink.

I just received the Reflections set for September and die cut the label that came

with it and embossed it with a coverplate.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed on a scrap of Scarlet Jewel

and fussy cut.

I always like to add something extra and so some tiny jingle bells from my stash

landed on their bows.

Challenges:

Papertrey Ink October Inspiration Challenge - See below

Jingle Belles - Animals

Stamps:  Signature Christmas (ret PTI)

Ink:   Whisper White, Honey Nut (PTI)

Paper:   Classic Kraft, Vintage Cream, Scarlet Jewel, Scarlet Jewel Bitty Big PP (all PTI)

Enjoy!
