I designed this little desktop calendar for the Stampin' Sisters Winter Stamp Camp. It was a fun afternoon--stamping and chatting with almost 50 creative ladies! I'll let you know when the next camp is scheduled---if you're in the Nashville area come join us!
Several of the girls asked me where I got the calendar template. It is something I created myself just for this project. Here is the calendar in two basic colors:
Chocolate Chip 2011 Mini Calendar
Baisc Black 2011 Mini Calendar
NOTE: When printing, be sure your printer does not scale down the image. It needs to print at actual size. Use regular typing paper--card stock will be too thick.
OPTIONAL: I perforated my calendar so the sheets could be easily ripped off. You can see the perforation in this picture just below the scalloped card stock strip. If you choose to perforate you need to do this BEFORE cutting. Perforate from the top of the page at: 3/4", 3", 5 1/4" and 7 1/2".
CUTTING: Trim 1/2" from the top of the sheet and 1" from the left margin. Cut at 2 1/4" intervals after that in both directions. The calendar sheets will be 2.25" x 2.25".
After cutting, we just used a stapler to hold the sheets together. The cardstock strip hides the staple.
The calendar holder is a 4"x11" piece of Very Vanilla card stock scored at 4", 8" and 9.5".
I'd love to see your project if you use the calendar!
