Courtney Kelley - Critter Calendar Cards
this month taylored expressions is releasing a few products designed for creating quick & fun yearly calendars. i used the 2017 3x4 calendar cards to create a few inserts for my 2017 project life album. i used the new build a scene - calendar 2 die set paired with the calendar critters stamp set which was released last november.

here's a close-up of my penguin. i paper pieced all 3 of my critters & then used the build a scene - calendar & build a scene - calendar 2 die sets to create a little scene. i plan on using these fun calendars in my project life at the beginning of each month .

to dress up the wreath a bit i die cut the bow with the previously released mini mix & match bows die set & the teal jingle bells were die cut with the new little bits - jingle bells die set. the inside of wreath is sized perfectly to fit a large sentiment - the one i chose is from the previously released sing of the season sentiment set.

Courtney Kelley - Happy Holidays
this guy is one of my favorites this month - the new snowman shaker die set. the die set quickly cuts the pieces for a snowman shaker element - or as i have done you can give him a fun patterned paper belly. i went with a nontraditional bright color scheme & was able to use up lots of scraps from previous projects.

Courtney Kelley - Happy Holidays
also new this month is the die set all wrapped up - and my happy snowman is holding a couple of gifts created with this die set. the packages are sized to fit perfectly in his arms & also work well with the new dashing through the snow die set. 

to create my 'happy holidays card' i used the following supplies available in the te shop:
