1. I didn't see any black and white polka dotted teapot calendars with Rocky, bunny butts and the Wild Wild West cowboy on it so I went to Plan B.
2. I got pretty excited when I saw this Lighthouse Calendar though because I got a new Lighthouse set from Our Daily Bread Designs. Its being released February 1st. So, this ended up being a sneak peak!
3. I really changed the look of this stamp set simply because I was imitating the look of the calendar but I guess if you think about it, it shows the set can be versatile. Is that how you spell versatile?
4. Okay, I went a little crazy on the seaguls but you know how they are, always hanging in large groups! Besides after cutting out these dinky little birdies if you think I wasn't gonna put on my card, you're crazy!
5. I am posting a picture of the stamp set on my glob if you want to see what it really looks like. I just took elements of it for my card!

Cindy, this is so pretty. I love how your lighthouse looks. My first thought was that it was a remake of Hitchcock - THE BIRDS. As long as I don't have to clean up after them I would like visiting your lighthouse. SNUGS

This is so ugly you might as well just toss it MY trash...wink, wink. Actually they ought to hire you. This is prettier by far than the original.
Fabulous job....
