Meljen's Design Blog Hop - WOO HOO

Hi Everyone!
  I am so excited to share this with you today for a number of reasons!  There's a blog hop going on at Meljen's Design for the next three days! !!! WOOT!

So many cute projects with some of the cutest stamps around! If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about check out some of Melissa's digitals here!!  Her stamps are just so adorable and there are so many to choose from, but I bet you'll have a hard time choosing just one!  Every Thursday there is a new release and a new challenge at the Meljen's Design Blog.  In addition to Thursdays release, there is a freebie day (and let me tell you, these freebies are AMAZING), lots of inspiration, and the chance to win the weekly prize and/or the top pick of the week.  Also, there are times when a card or project is picked as inspiration.  There is no reason not to join in the fun!! 
 I am so proud to announce to you that I will be joining the Meljen's Design Team and that my project is part of the hop! 

I was super excited when I was asked to join and was even more excited when the hop was announced.  This will allow you to get familiar with the design team and to get a closer look at all the cute stamps. So if you just happened by my blog and didn't know about the hop and want a chance at some cute Meljen freebies then start here at Andrea's blog.  Each blogger will let you know where to go next!  Leave a little bloggy love on the way and you will be eligible for the prize!   Now, if you already know about the hop then you should have arrived here from Marlena's blog!  Wasn't her project amazing?? 

Now, on to my project.  I decided to make a calendar!  I really needed one to keep everything organized that's going on in my life right now!  So I decided that I would add inspiration along the way!  I started with 14 pieces of cereal boxes cut at 8 and 1/4 inch by 7 and 1/2 inch rectangles.  I adhered paper I had picked out for each month.  I bought these little calendar pages at my LSS ( I just learned what an LSS is - for those that don't know your Local Scrapbook Store - thanks Nicole). 

Once I had the order I wanted which was October 1st - TODAY through the end of the year I used my cinch to bind it.  I then started to decorate the front page with the cutest little mouse holding a cherry that I colored with Copics. 

I love black, red and white together so this came together nicely.  I added some black and red ribbon and cut the word CREATE from Winter Woodland and adhered those.  I also took this striped paper and added some freebie cherries repeated.  For each month I hope to add a stamp or two...I will be sure to keep you posted as I decorate pages. 



I didn't want to add to many blingy things - even though I love the bling - because I want to be able to take it with me on the go!  Now hop hop hop! From here you should go to Nicole's Blog - she's talented, bubbly and FUN!  If you get lost somehow, just head over to the Meljen's Design blog and you can get back on track!  Have fun, and don't forget to leave some love.  Here's a list of the line-up to help you out:
Melissa F. - you're already here!!!
Enjoy!!!

  33. Oh my goodness that is so super cute! I have a few questions for you that you may not get to answer cause I am sure you are super busy but I can try. What did you use for the light reflect on your cherry? Also what is a cinch and where can I get one? I love your idea and I am so going to have to scrap-nap it. I have that cartridge and have not used it yet and have been wanting to. Thank you for sharing!
