Desktop Calendar #2 - Stamping Escape

Where does the time go? It's the age old question isn't it. The time just flew since I held the second half of the desktop calendar class back in November. Here are the remaining 6 calendar pages.

No stamps on this one. The star punch is from the Mery Minis punch pack. I used the 1" square punch and 1/4" strips of Cherry Cobbler card stock, spaced out 1/4" on a rectangle of Whisper White card stock. The little bit of bling is given by the rectangle of Silver Glimmer paper.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2".

All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
