Anyhow, I have a favorite person I got to for calendar ideas and templates. She is wonderfully generous and has shared her templates with us fans.
This is my version of a Desktop Calendar originally created by: Cami or Cambria Turnbow (one of my favorite crafty ladies) and using CAT's desktop calendar template for 2011. I love how it came out and that it's the size of a regular greeting card 4.25x5.5. I could fold it and mail it to a special friend if I wanted to, but this time it's mine. I need it. LOL.
Hope you like it as much as I do. Each section is a Season Quarter.. so I started with Winter.. Jan-Mar and tried to encompass colors and Designer papers and punched embellies that may represent the season and each months Holiday if any....
Winter
New Years-Valentine's Day -St. Patty's Day
Side view
Spring
Easter-Mother's Day-Father's Day
Side view
Summer
4th of July-Harvest-Labor Day
Side view and more true to color...
Fall
Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas-Hannukah or Kwanza
Side view... Can you feel the changes in the air? Love to play with the dies

ReplyDeletehow did you put this together?? I really like this but can't figure out how it stays together
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki.. so sorry I didn't see your comment... On Cat's thread in splitcoast.. there is a tutorial link, but what you want to do is make your first layer (from the last pic above.. the purple layer) will be mounted with dimensionals... or foam dots... so it's off the mail blue card... and each side is done the same... so when you want it open for display.. you tuck your extra sleeve.. under the front and back of the first layer.. gosh.. I hope that makes sense.. let me see if I have a pic.
