November Club Projects - Calendar

One of the things I love doing is a calendar every November

This year I received a calendar from one of my retreat attendees - thanks Lenore

I used this idea for my calendars this year

I have to share a little "red-faced" incident about the calendars frames

I ordered them from Amazon and when I got them, I was a bit disappointed because they seemed "opaque"

But I went ahead and made my samples 

And then comes club night.  I handed out the frames and low and behold Holly (my daughter) looked at it

and tore off the "opaque" layer

I totally missed that!!  I was a bit embarrassed, but glad she caught it!

So if the one above looks "dull", it's because I was "dull"!!

 

Measurements

I'm not going to add the colors, since each person will choose their own theme, but I used the Hues of Happiness DSP (designer series Paper), and coordinated my cardstock with the pattern I used

Cardstock 5 3/4" x 3 3/4"

DSP 5 1/2" x 3 1/2"

That piece goes in the "picture" area

We mounted the calendar on the front

Cardstock 4 1/4" x 2 3/4"

Cardstock 4" x 2 1/2"

I ordered the frames from Amazon and the little calendars from Vippies.com

The calendars are 3" x 2 1/4"

I also added some Tear & Tape Adhesive to the bottom of the calendar - the top has adhesive, but adding adhesive to the bottom secures it a bit better

Party Puffin Post it Note Holder

Here's a darling little Party Puffin Post-It Note Holder

I have a real affinity with Puffins

When we visited Iceland in August, we saw the Puffins up close and personal!

We were able to see their breeding grounds and even released a "lost" Puffling (baby Puffin)

Did you know that Puffins are mated for life?  Above you can see their breeding grounds.  They spend six months at sea - never even returning to land.  Then when it's time to breed they head to their breeding grounds.  They find their mate and burrow into the hillside.  

They lay one egg per year and when the baby Puffin (Puffling), is ready to fledge, they fly out to the sea.  But.....on the Island of Heimaey, when the babies fly at night, they think the street lights are the sea, so they fly to the street lights.  And they are lost.  So the children on the island catch and release them the next day.  This is about two weeks in August.

We were staying at an AirBnB and the host and his family found two and let us release one of them!

Here's Dan releasing the baby Puffling

Such a fun experience!

So when I saw this little note pad holder, you can imagine my excitement - I received it in a swap and just had to make some

All my downline received these for the holidays

Here's a little tutorial - these are quick and easy to make!!

Basic Black Cardstock 8 1/2" x 2 1/2" scored at 2 1/8", 4 1/8" and 4 1/2"

Pumpkin Pie Cardstock 2 3/8" x 2"

Basic White - 4" x 2" - cut a tag with Tailor Made Tags Dies

Adhere the Pumpkin Pie cardstock to the Basic Black on the out portion from the 2" score mark to the edge

Adhere the tag to the Pumpkin Pie Cardstock

Add a 2" x 1 1/2" Post it note to the inside

See how it sits up?

Fun project and SO easy and they fold down to mail!
