Uses for the Perpetual Beauty Calendar Kit

on

 I figure anyone over the age of 20 already has a way to keep track of birthdays and anniversaries they want to celebrate.  I know I do.  I have increased mine to a box where I store all the cards I want to send and have a card for each month to keep track of the dates.

But, I wanted to see what this kit was all about, so...

Here's the kit:



And the intended use:

I'll be using my kit as a spiritual journal of sorts.  You can see a start to the stamping I'll be doing in my calendar using stamps appropriate to the monthly or daily topics.  

Other ideas for the calendar I thought of include:
  • Day of firsts for newlyweds (first dinner party, first holiday, first vacation)
  • Day of firsts for a student:  for a preschooler, kindergartener, college student
  • Gardening journal
  • Day of firsts for a newborn
  • Day of firsts for a new pet
  • House projects and major purchases for your home
What other ideas do you have?  Leave a comment and let's work together to add to my list.


These are my favorite sort of projects because I get to pull out any and all products that coordinate then let my creativity take over!



Since I am decorating my calendar with stamps and not the stickers from the kit, I used the stickers to create a few cards.  I used the same colors in the kit: Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, and Pretty Peacock.

Here I used the Linked Together Decorative Masks and the soon to be retired Close to My Heart Floral Sprig Stencils.

I like the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder for nature-themed projects.  The rectangles were die cut with the Perennial Postage dies.


And here are circles cut with Spotlight on Nature dies.


I added ink with a blending brush to the Garden Green piece that was embossed using the Fern 3D folder.


Just lots of stickers to make a frame on this one.  The dies in the middle and the stamp can be found in the Unbounded Love bundle.


More stickers!  (There are a lot of them in the kit!)  Would you add a sentiment or leave it as is?  Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

I found a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock with the circle already die cut, so I used it as a window-type element on this card.  Again, I'll probably add a sentiment to the lower left corner before I send this card.


Thanks for taking a look at my projects!  I enjoyed creating them, and I hope they inspire you to try something new next time you create.
