Mini Calendar Project for Stamp Classes this Week!

So I try to make a calendar project each year, usually in January, for our class project. But I had a request to do it in December (probably a good idea, especially if you want to give them for gifts), so here we go! We have made so many different calendar projects over the years - and that makes it harder to find a new or original idea (or heaven forbid, create my own?!). And after many searches, I figured this out (with a little help from Carrie Rhoades) ~ 

We'll be using a 5-3/4" x 12" piece of Basic Black Cardstock for our base - and I Love this!! Just a few score lines and easy cuts - then fold and assemble!

And add just a little piece of Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper (1" x 3-3/4") sets off the black background underneath the calendar.

And then when you flip it around to the backside - this super cute, and useful pocket, with a little bit (1-3/4" x 3-1/2") of the same DSP on it, for a post-it notepad and mini gel pen! 

I hope you will be coming to class this week to make this with us!

Forget Me Not Perpetual Calendar & Cards!

How often do you forget the important events in your life?  One solution for you is to use this lovely Perpetual Birthday + Love, Happiness and Life Calendar, using the Hello Lovely Project Life Collection by Stampin’ Up!.  Each month is designed to document not just birthdays, but other happy events you want to remember.  Also included in this tutorial are designs for 12 greeting cards stored in the Project Life Envelope Pages in the back of the calendar.  This would also make a great gift for someone special!

This super cool project was made by Meg Holland and you can get her tutorial when you subscribe to the month of November over at Craft Project Central.
