2014 altered planners

At the artisan market I do on Saturdays I've been asked more than a few times if I had pocket calendars for sale.  A fellow vendor brought me two to alter for her and I went and purchased more to alter.  Finished size:  3.75 x 6.75 inches.

Combo of idea-ology French Industrial cardstock and Boarding Pass.  idea-ology baubles, tag labels, collage keys.  Embellishments were threaded into place through eyelets (to prevent tearing) using wire.

Another pocket calendar - key is from locket keys and set inside a birdcage.  Vintage button.

 

Papertrey butterfly die and felt, philosophy tags, metal-rimmed tag, pen nibs, pearl bauble, ring fastener,  9to5 patterned paper; retired 7gypsies patterned paper & K&co images.  Happy Friday!

just a note kitchen cards

Retired Modern Homemaker patterned paper, along with Memory Box Grill Masters die.

Clear-lidded box from Nashville Wraps.

Clever and necessary housing for the matching pen.

Memory Box Gourd cardstock lines these cute little notes. Note about the aprons - used wide scor-tape on the patterned paper reverse, die cut, then peeled off backing and adhered the die-sticker.  It ain't a die-cut if ye got stickie stuff on de back - it den be a diiie-sticker. 

more file folder cards

Still using October Afternoon's 9 to 5 collection - lots from the Miscellany package.  Finished card size (each): 4.5 x 5.5 inches. (Previous post with more of this style here and how-to video link.)

Fun 'date' sticker to add the recipient's birth date, or Bat Mitzvah date.

Added big eyelets to the black tab, a tiny pink eyelet and linen thread to the mini memo envelope (it's in the 9 to 5 Miscellany package) and a little idea-ology mini paper clip.  So office-y!  Happy Saturday and Happy November!  May the holidays take their time in getting here... -

Andy wanted to be a skeleton pirate from those Pirates of the Carribean movie - that ride is one of his favorites at Disney World.  He's a full two inches taller than I am now (me without heels, that is!)

Allison did a great job as Wednesday Addams.  

Ready for 160 trick-or-treaters.  We ended up getting around 120.  Leftovers are going to our orthodontist - he collects extra candy and donates it.

idea-ology Labratorie patterned paper and paper sacks.  Happy Haunting sentiment is from Hero Arts.

(l-r) Allison as Wednesday Addams, friend Laurel as an FBI agent (it's really one of the Supernatural characters dressed as an FBI agent but I don't watch TV so I have no clue what that meant), me, my Abbie as a Steampunk Lady, Andy as a Pirate and friend Erin as sushi!

I gave a lady on etsy my measurements a few years ago and she made this for me.  I love Jack Skellington!

Corset back.  Our Halloween was so much fun - hope yours was as well and happy Friday!
