Hello
friends! How are you doing? I have been creating calendar cards for
the past two weeks. I should have made them simpler; but it has been fun.
I created two of this style so far; but they are a little different. I bid on
eBay and ended up with 8 cream colored small calendars; but then I found a free print out on Splitcoast Stampers where I could create white ones. I used the cream colored ones on 2 other calendar cards; posted on a different post.
A friend of mine, Vannessa Hasty inspired me with her fabulous calendar creations; so I had to create some of them as well. I found the general instructions from a Tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers;
after I had already bought the cream colored calendars. This tutorial provides you
a link for a free calendar that you can print and cut yourself.
