Sue, your photo and created paper blend so well..... a Lovely page

 

Marlene, your calendar looks terrific .. love the little explanations you included. So many interesting places to see here in Australia and it will make a lovely gift for your family in England.

 

Anja, lovely pages to start your calendar.. you have used a very creative font... I don't think I have ever seen that one before.

 

best wishes to you all,

 

Dawn.

Sue, your page is great and I like very much all the textures you make for all your projects.

 

Anja and Marlene, lovely pages too. I like the idea of adding small photos and the explanation of them.

I thought I's a share a tip when using the Character map, possibly you already know, but anyway I'll tell you just in case.  Once you have chosen a letter from the character map and paste it into your project, you don't have to keep going back to the character map to select and copy and paste  the same letter again and again for the same project.  You can simply highlight a letter from any text vector layer, within your project, right click, select copy and then paste it  into the layer where you want  the letter to be. You can also click paste multiple times, if you want to use the same letter more than once in a particular word.

[Sue Thomas]

Thank you all for your  very kind words  on my projects.  All the pages submitted are just beautiful.  I applaud you all. Also  Cassel for creating such a wonderful challenge.  Well done everyone!

Sue, another nice page! .... And this is a good tip... That's why I say we are always learning from each other. Thanks for sharing.

[AprilDawn]

Hello Sue,  the photo, colours and texture in your page are lovely.  .... best wishes to you,

 

Dawn.

[Sue Thomas]

I agree we can always learn from each other  Cristina. Thank you April, and the same to you.  Now that winter has descended, with  several blankets of snow, I can work on so many projects that I have pending.

I finally finished my calendar pages. It was fun to participate in this challenge.

 

My cover page is based on the 2016-CalendarCoverTemplate from Scrapping with Liz. All the patterns that I created for the digits/background were based on tutorials/pages from the LAB... and the same for the confetti. I used elements from Kristin Aagard, Eyeinspire and Corel.

[AprilDawn]

Hi Cristina! your pages are great.... December is real cute.... along with all the other pages you showed us, you have created a beautiful calendar.

 

Dawn.

[Cristina]

Dawn, thank you! The cute couple will pretty soon be released from the Christmas box where they are now. :)

Hi Everyone,

 

Finally I got round to doing this challenge and here are my results. I wanted to do this challenge as I got most of my family living either in Austria and Latvia. Can you guess the Landmarks around London?

 

 

[AprilDawn]

Hi NewPeaches17... very nice calendar and great photos of London... it is always nice to see other places from around the world. I am sure your relatives will enjoy receiving such a lovely and thoughtful gift.

 

best wishes,

 

Dawn.

NewPeaches17 your calendar is really nice, brought back lots of memories of London from when I was younger, especially the Christmas Lights - we used to have a day trip to London to do Christmas shopping, look at Selfridges window and go and see Father Christmas there and stay to see the lights. The other photos reminded me of trips to London with my Grandmother and Mother to visit the "sights", although at least a couple of things weren't there then!!

I have to say that I am in AWE at all those fantastic pages. Each is so different and personal, even though they started with the exact same base. They are all real pieces of art.
