My Calendar

Home made calendar.  The first photo shows the front and back covers of my calendar.  They are cut from a Graphics 45 paper pad (12" X 12").  I just fell in love the the cover and it's perfect for my calendar.  No stamping yet.  March through August 2017 is my start of the calendar.  I could place more pages here, but it's picture heavy as it is.

The poinsettia is die cut from a Elizabeth Craft Designs die.  I had made it and not used it.  It's the perfect color and I just had to use it on the cover.

I
 chose double-sided papers to go into the calendar and stamped front and back of each page with the Hero Arts Calendar Bold Prints stamp.  I was wondering if some of the patterns would obscure the stamp, but it didn't.  I have no trouble making notes and printing and using digital stamps and regular stamping on the pages.

The umbrellas are from a Hero Arts cut file at A2Z   I started my calendar mid-March and April is on the back of March.  June is on the back of the May Calendar page.  I have all kinds of notes and love the page.  A key die-cut from a soda can is covered with a silver pen.

May is a celebration of Carnaval in San Francisco on May 27 and 28.  That's why I chose the paper and San Francisco Designation stamp.


You can see the calendar below the "APRIL" die cut letters.   I can still write dates and info in the squares.  I stamped the umbrella with the wood block Paris stamp on the umbrella.  The umbrellas are from a cut files available at A2Z, called Weather Cuts Digital File.

The butterflies are from a stamp set available at A2Z Scrapbooking called Color Layering Butterflies.

July is bright and cherry with flowers as the background.   I thought the new stamp set of Enjoy the Journey was perfect for this enchanting background.  A bottle with some nautical images is perfect for this calendar.  I know I will enjoy this so much.

The pattern for August may not be as imposing or enchanting as other patterns, but I would love to travel out of the hot valley here in Sacramento.

The ships from Enjoy the Journey work for me.
