I've been busy making cards today. Wanted to share another recycle idea for the cards .... I took apart a calendar that had fractal designs in it, here are some of the results:

Thank you. Fractals are one of my favorite designs. I use to have software so I could create my own. Hubby was teasing that I might have to get the software again as I had such fun with these cards.

Thank you. The photo was taken a couple of years ago on the Carnival Spirit cruise ship. It is one of my favorite photos of the two of us.

The dollar tree, 99 cent stores carry many, many styles of calendars and towards the end of the year you can find some great deals too. Just be sure to check the quality/thickness of the design you plan to use ... too thin doesn't work well. Most calendars are fairly thick paper.

Beautiful cards. The calender must have been fantastic.

I've used labels from John Deere clothing to embellish cards for the men in my family.

Here's a link to the company's site when they were asking for submission for the calendar. It shows the final choices:
