Guess I took another break from the blog. Totally unintentional. I promise. I'm back though, with a few Scrapbook & Cards Today shares for you today.

First up, have you had a chance to order your copy of Scrapbook & Cards Today 2014 Scrapbooking Planner and Sketch Calendar?

SCT’s new 2014 Scrapbooking Planner and Sketch Calendar is now portable, ready to go wherever you go! This 14-month, 64-page planner is coil bound, brimming with 30 page sketches, how-to photo techniques and layouts created by your favourite designers. Each month features a full page of journaling prompts, page starters, photo ideas and areas to jot down notes, memories and special moments, perfect for those who are following Project Life.

You can preorder today, RIGHT HERE, for only $12.95 (plus $3.45 shipping in Canada and the USA, and $10.95 shipping for international orders). The planners will begin shipping with the Winter issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today magazine on November 28, 2013.

Speaking of calendars, I thought I would share my layout that I created for the 2013 calendar that Scrapbook & Cards Today put out last year. I was assigned the month of January, given a specific sketch to work with, and was sent some Echo Parks products to work with. And this is the layout I came up with.

I was also asked to incorporate a washi tape technique into my title. I chose a chunky title that I could die cut, and that would give me a good negative cut to work with.

I then backed my title letters with different tapes to coordinate with my papers. I used all Bella Blvd tapes for this, as they matched perfectly. *** Ignore the cursive sub-title in this image. That was something that got switched out during the approval process.
