Every year I make a different calendar for my family members. This year I decieded I wanted to keep it simple so when I found an A2 sized calendar with only 4 frames to decorate, I knew this was the one! I came across this calendar at : http://papersmiles.blogspot.com/2008/11/desk-calendar-tutorial.html
For my calendar I used the new October Afternoon (that I love!), Bazzill Cardstock, and my Cricut.
Here is January-March. The coffee cup is off of the Graphically Speaking Cartridge:
April-June I used the Home Decor cartridge for the bird and used Kaisercraft Pearls for it’s eye.
.
For July-September I used the Graphically Speaking cartridge for the butterfly I added orange rhinestones for some bling.
This is October-December. I used the Graphically Speaking Cartridge (or maybe Storybook) for the Tree. I covered it with the Martha Stewart chunky snow glitter. I love this glitter!
