One More Year

One of the gifts I make each year for my daughters-in-law are new calendars.  This year I was especially excited as I was able to bind the calendars.  My oldest son gave me a Cinch Book Binding Tool for my birthday and I love it!

So, back to my project for today.  I made three calendars using Graphic 45 patterned papers to decorate the calendar pages.  The calendar was printed on Very Vanilla cardstock Stampin' Up!®  What you can't see is the easel I put on the back of each so they would stand on their own.  I have a Tim Holtz Small Easel Die and it works great for those projects you want to stand alone.

This week Just Us Girls is having a word challenge and that word is "new."  What better way to demonstrate the word than a "new" calendar for the "new" year.  My girls loved them.



Stamp Sets:  Perpetual Birthday Calendar, Petal Potpourri (retired), Sunshine Sayings; Inks:  Blushing Bride, Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Perfect Plum, Real Red, Rose Red, Wild Wasabi; Cardstock:  Very Vanilla; Patterned Paper:  Graphic 45 Botanical Tea, Place in Time, Time to Flourish; Other:  Flower Medallion Punch, Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

The word for the week is "NEW" at the Just Us Girls Challenge.  For all the challenge details, click the image below.
