Aloha Stampers!
Welcome to another DIY Calendar Blog Hop! This month, we’re sharing our November calendar pages, and I’ve chosen a simple design with a message that I especially love.
There is always something to be thankful for!
November is such a wonderful time to remember our blessings, and I thought this sentiment from the Thanks and Giving Stamp Set was perfect for my calendar.
A Wreath for November
You might recognize this pretty wreath from the Christmas Mice Bundle. Even though it’s part of a Christmas set, I think it works beautifully for November, too!
I stamped the wreath and colored the leaves using Old Olive and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends, with Cherry Cobbler for the berries.
Then I added a little Wink of Stella to the berries for some sparkle. It’s such a simple detail, but it makes the wreath look extra special!
I mounted everything on Basic White cardstock with a Cherry Cobbler background. I love how the rich red border frames the calendar and brings out the color of the berries.
🌺 Crafty Tip: Add a little Wink of Stella to berries or other small details for a touch of sparkle without overwhelming your project.
A Little Reminder to Be Thankful
One of the things I enjoy about making these monthly calendars is choosing images and greetings that reflect the season.
For November, I wanted something simple that would remind me to appreciate the blessings in my life.
And I have something extra special to be thankful for this year! Both of my daughters, their spouses, and my grandchildren will be joining us here on Maui for Christmas. I can hardly wait to have everyone together!
And I love that this little calendar can sit on a desk or shelf where I’ll see it every day!
