School Calendar
It's that time of year again...back to work. As much as I hate to see the summer end, I'm glad to have been called back. Last year I used a color theme throughout my room...black, white and pink. This year, I've decided to go with an ocean/beach theme. So, I decided to make a few things for myself and the room. Today's project is a calendar that I made for myself. I keep one on my desk all the time, and it's always been something plain (and cheap). As you can see, not plain...but pretty cheap.
I printed off some free calendar pages I found online, and used my YourStory to bind them together in one of the YourStory "leather" binders. This one is 8 1/2 by 11. After binding and letting it cool, I got busy decorating. All of the images on the front were cut using my Cricut and the Life is a Beach cartridge. Of course, I used my Gypsy to plan it and make sure everything was cut to the correct size and would fit before cutting.
Once assembled, I added some stickles to make it really shine. These pictures just don't do it justice, it is sooooo pretty in person. Now I think I'll make myself a post-it holder to match, and maybe pretty up my hand sanitizer as well....
