April Desktop Calendar Idea

 As we are enjoying spring blossoms and bright green leaves here in SC, we are also enjoying April showers! I thought these little rainboots were just the thing to use to create a fun desktop calendar!

I created my "card" front using a rain drop stamp on the background and stamping and cutting out my sentiment and rainboots. Next I added one of my favorite washi's, the green grass washi, to the bottom edge. I embellished by adding the mini ladybug, mini bee and boot brads and some cardstock for layering, along with a small printed April calendar.

I adhered my "card front" to only half of the green cardstock, so that I could fold it for standing. I added the orange brads to anchor the stand up position and the green grass washi across the bottom. Lastly, I added a sticky note pad for those quick notes you want to make conveniently! I think this is a fun desktop calendar and note pad you could enjoy all month!

Rain or Shine...

 ...Be My Valentine!

I just love playing with the brads and washi tapes that Eyelet Outlet has to offer! For this card, I started with stamping a rainy background and the washi tape grass for the bottom border. I then stamped and fussy cut my raincoat clad gal and adorable duck! I added the rain boot brads to the duck and heart brads for embellishments along with the banners "Rain or Shine, be my valentine"! Sometimes it's fun to think outside the box! I hope you enjoy!

Look for Rainbows

I (Lauren) love rainbows! So I'm pretty pleased that Eyelet Outlet has Rainbow Tape (several styles, in fact) and Rainbow Brads (they come with unicorns!) and I'll take any excuse to use one or both, especially if I can also work in rainbow shades of Boot Brads, which are currently on special for just .99c!

I made two tape backgrounds from my current favorite Rainbow Washi; and used a fun handwriting font to print sentiments onto plain white cardstock. Cloud-edge dies continue the theme. My first card has a line of Boot Brads in rainbow order (there are five different colors, but don't worry, you get six MATCHING pairs of boots in each set!) The second card has only one pair of boots, but to set the scene, I've also incorporated Sun and Clouds, plus a rainbow from the Unicorn and Rainbow Brad set. Both cards have blue Tear Drop Bling rain splashes.

I hope these rainbows have brightened up your day, and if so, remember there are lots more at Eyelet Outlet!
