"2009 Calendar"



Created By: Natalie Berrett

Supplies:

Paper of your choice
Ribbon
Tacky tape
Adhesive of your favorite kind
Black pen
Tub O' Snow
Paint brush
Pink Glitter
Art Glitter glue
Making Memories mini Stapler
Stickers
Brads
Buttons
Paper Accents Calendar
Cricut Machine

Instructions:
Each month will need to be cut to an 8x5 piece of paper. This is the size that you are going to use throughout the calendar. On some of the months I've layered paper over each other. I have also inked around the edges of the paper for each month. This will make your month stand out.
For the months of January and December using the Tub O'Snow add the snow to your month. This will take awhile to dry so make sure that you don't glue these months to your calendar until they are completely dry.
For the month of February I've used the Art Glitter Glue and the Art Glitter to get the heart to have a little more bling. Don't glue this to your page until it is dry and that will depend on how much glue you use.
For the month of March I've used the Making Memories Stapler and green staples to get the ribbon to adhere to the page. Make sure to ink around all the edges so that it will stand out.
For the months of April, May, June, July, August, September, October, and November add buttons, brads, tags, flowers, pumpkins, School buses, and fun stickers to your months. I've made some of the months a little simple so that there is still room for pictures.
You can either use stickers or a black pen to write in the months. Either way will look darling. I've used both stickers and have written the months in the calendar.
I've also used the Cricut Machine to cut out some of the fun embellishments that I have on my calendar. We have a variety of Cartridges that would be darling to use for this calendar.


Have fun creating this mini calendar! Remember that the ideas are endless and that there is no wrong or right way to do this.
