LFF #101 on Saturday - A few calendars for 2016

Hello!

Nothing like some rain to make you want to just roll up in a cozy blanket and not do anything!  hahaha!  Yes, much of California is being inundated with rain courtesy of El Nin-yo.  We've also got snow on the mountain so for those who think it doesn't snow here it does just at a higher elevation.

So getting in to today's LFF #101 post on Saturday I wanted to share the only 2016 calendars I made which went to my mom's Monday Coco's group of friends.  She totally wiped out my calendars so I had to buy some from a friend, thanks Kathy for your stash!  I went with CAS, cute and decided to do an Asian theme.   It's the year of the Monkey so a few monkey cards along with the ever cute Maneki Neko were perfect and neutral.

Ai ya sorry this picture is sooo blurrry!!  I took more below, but these are it.  Images, dies & sentiments are from Mama Elephants All Prettied Up, Lunar Animals and Lunar Extras.  I also used one MFT die, Die-namics Stitched Mini Scallop circle, black cardstock, and paper from the Far East stack from DCWV.  Here's a closer look at each calendar/card with the monkey themed card up first...

Hehehe, the little hat is so cute.  I guess I could have lowered it a little bit more on his head, nah looks just right.  Such a sweet combination of images.  The red envelope he's holding is from the Lunar Extra set.  Lots of fun images in that set.  Since these were cards I also did a simple message on the inside:

Here's the Maneki Neko cat card :

Had to look online to see what colors are used to color him/her.  I liked this color combo the best.  The Chinese characters says Happy New Year and a simple message on the inside with some falling sakura flowers...

I made 5 of each and my mom said everyone loved them.  Woo Hoo!!

I placed an order for more calendars because I had a few requests from my co-workers.  Thinkin I can maybe make a few dollars to support my habit, I mean hobby.  (hehehe)

Now on to the winner of last week's LFF 100th post, thank you to Jenny W, Lynn, Denice & Heidi for commenting.  I wish I could give you each something, so guess what?!  I will!  Congratulations ladies!  If you all live in the US you all qualify.  Please email me your snail mail: quikhonu34@yahoo.com and I'll get your goodies in the mail within the next couple weeks.  If I already have it you'll get it sooner.  

Well looks like I'll be doing a little coloring and making stuff for meet ups with some of my crafty friends who are in town for CHA.  No I'm not going to the show but doesn't mean I can't meet up with them outside the arena.  Hope to have some photos to share.  Until then, have a fabulous weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Leanne
