Creations With Christina

Journal/Calendar

January 10, 2011

Happy Monday everyone,

OK so I know it’s not the best and I’ll work on a new one, but look what I made…my own blinkie…It’s over there on the right…see it….I’ll be making a new one, now that I know how to do it. The blinkie is for the 12 month layout challenge, you just click and it will take you to the challenges so you can upload your project…check out the ones who have already submitted their layouts. Great work.

Today I thought I would show you a quick video of a journal/calendar that I made. I bought one of the calendar planner refills and made my own cover. Sorry I don’t have pictures, I left my calendar at work 🙂

I’m off today since I worked yesterday, so while the house is nice and quiet I’m going to start filming the Tags Bags Boxes and More series that I’ll be posting next week 🙂

Have a great Monday,

    Yea!!! I love your videos! Your blinkie is great! I wish I even knew how to make one! That is one of my goals. Is there somewhere I can see a tutorial for that? I'm excited to see your new series! I've been following your blog for quite a while would you come follow my blog too?

    Hi Christina, I love your book. I can't wait to see the directions. I will check paper trail. Oh I went to Michael's yesterday. They had 5 carts left and all the same but the one I wanted. I felt so bad for all the ladies that came in after me. The sale wasn't suppose to start until 1:00. I called and went right away when I found out what was going on. I love your blinkie. I would love to learn how to make one.Thanks Linda

    That is awesome! I've tried using electronic organizers (palm PDA's etc.) but found that I don't keep up with them like I do if I just write it down in a regular paper planner! I guess for me, it just much easier to “pencil it in”. I love the cover you made for yours. I'm going to have to check out Laura's video on how it went together.Thanks for sharing!Hugs,Kristina

    Can't wait to see your new video series. Thanks for the tip about Michael's. I too was trying to be “good” but i am glad i went. I got 7 new cartridges and the gypsy for $49.99. After i got it home i realized it was missing one of the cables and it was the last one they had. But for $50 i am keeping it and picking up a cable somewhere else. Now i will have to scroll thru your blog and find some info/videos on the gypsy. Thanks, you rock! The sale in MA was going on Saturday at 3 Michael's that i checked.

    Thanks so much for your videos. They are so easy to follow. I am very excited that you are doing TBBM videos. I have yet to use that cartridge, only due to not knowing what to cut out and assembling wrong. Thanks, you're the best!

    Love your day calendar/planner. I love how you covered it. Not sure I followed the binder ring part thou. How cool is that that you now know how to create your own blinkies. Where did you learn that? I would love to learn how to set up a workable blog. I would love to share and participate. Did all of you hire someone to set yours up? Marcie

I'm absolutely thrilled to share an exciting creative project that I recently completed for @teamspellbinders . This particular piece was crafted using the beautiful and intricate dies from this month's Stitched Die Club collection. After experimenting with different possibilities, I decided to make my creation into a decorative tag.
