I took some time to create last week when my SIL Sandy came over to play - we both had new goodies from the new Summer Idea Book so we had a little show & tell ;-P I finally did Trysten's 2 month calendar page - I was glad I hadn't got around to it before, because then I got to use the fun new Foam Numbers! I tried out the foam embossing technique that is featured in the new Idea Book and after a couple tries, I got it and think it will be lots of fun to do again! The first time I didn't heat it long enough so the image didn't emboss very well. So then I tried again, heating it a little longer, but then the image curled up too much, and it was hard to stamp. So, I used a little bit of Tombow to attach the number to my table (luckily my table is heat resistant) - that way it stayed flat and was easy to heat enough and then stamp to emboss. Here is my page - I used the Stardust papers (I'm keeping with that same paper through his entire calendar) but I added a bit of Outdoor Denim to match his outfit. I also used some of the Stardust Stickease and embossed the Precious Alphabet using Desert Sand embossing powder.

Thanks for looking!
