Cute November calendar page

I have been making calendars for Christmas gifts. I make one for me, each one of my kids (6), and one for my mom. I try to make them all different but sometimes it is hard. And when I make a page I like, it is just easier to recreate it for the others! This is one I think I will be using on atleast a couple of them.
I used CardzTV stamps and stamped all over the background page. (I scanned it so if I decide to use it again, it will be easier!) Then I cut the turkey from Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge. I colored him with Bic Markers and added google eyes. I also couldn't resist putting him on an action wobble. So cute!! I chose the orange ribbon from Hobby Lobby to add a pop of color to the page. I really like ths one.
I made this wall decor item for my daughters laundry room. She just moved in to a place where she has her own laundry facilities. I bought a chalkboard from JoAnns and used white vinyl and Word Collage Cricut cartridge. I hope she likes it!

Look what I found at Dollar Tree!

They are pretty small. About 7"x7". All my daughters like mini things. Everything small is cute!! So I am going to start looking for things to put in the boxes. Sometimes there are some cute miniatures in Christmas ornaments, so I will start there. I will probably post one when I get it done. (if I like the way it turns out)
Well, it is time to get ready for work. Thanks for looking!

Marlene always has some great images and sentiments. I just love her warped sense of humor!! Here is the front of his card:
And the inside:

I put her on am Action Wobble so she really shakes her butt at him! I think it turned out really cute and I know he will love it!
