Monochromatic Challenge and Challenge #7 Get Inspired by a Project

Okay, nothing like hitting two (or 3) birds with one stone.  At this time of year, that's the only way I'll even come close to accomplishing what I hope to.  This cute little calendar book was inspired by a project over at Stamper's Quest on line magazine.  I made several of these, of various designs, to give to my childrens' teachers and friends and family.  This design uses a stamp from Innovative Stamp Creations and is in done in shades of green.  It's my entry for Gingersnap Creations monochromatic challenge.  It also satisfies the challenge requirements for Helga's (from Artchix studios) blog challenge.  Helga is running a series of 9 challenges on her blog and this is #7 and the first I've participated in.

Beeswax is hosting RSC sketch challenge for November.

The original sketch can be found here.  This will be my daughter's birthday card.  The musician is a Beeswax stamp, the decorative squares are from Posh Impressions and I'm not sure about the sentiment.

Cozy Home ATC-Gingersnap Creations Challenge
