I have been wanting to make a chipboard calendar for quite some time. Lucky me that today was the day!
I've been dreaming about this project, and I bought some papers but I really didn't have a plan. I think it came together nicely. Don't gasp when you see all the retired sets I used.
It will go in our bedroom where the colors are a rich ruby, navy and olive green. I tried not to make it too girly so that my DH might even like it.
The free calendar template came from http://www.red-castle.com/
The primas and chipboard came from my elf. (still thanking you whoever you may be)
Although it wasn't planned it does fit Sharon's 'notimetostamp' challenge this week to use flourishes.
