SRM Desktop Calendar

Here is a fun little desk calendar I created for the SRM Stickers Blog last week.  It would make a great gift for the holidays :)
I added monthly stickers to patterned paper then added a Velcro circle on the back of each one so that you can change out the months. The desk stand is made from a decorated spool (Ribbon Carousel) and a dowel, inserted through the center that supports the decorated chipboard house (Maya Road).

Tag Wall Calendar

Hello! Happy Monday! Thanks so much for all the comments and emails from my last post.  I just love my super fabulous blog friends!

Last year I created a wall calendar made up of tags that hang on this birdcage in my kitchen.  I decided to update the tags for 2013 since it has been a big conversation piece in my house.  The tags feature SRM Mini Calendars and a LOT of other SRM stickers (listed below!)  You can see in the detail pics all the other stickers I used (including lots of border stickers!) Here is the finished product that was on the SRM stickers blog last week:

Canvas Calendar

I just got back home from a lovely week at the beach with my kids.  Oh what fun we had...but when we left it finally hit me that our summer is coming to an end.  So sad:(  I definitely have a hard time facing that fact at the end of every summer break.

Last week I had a few projects featured on other blogs.  Here is a canvas calendar I shared on the SRM Stickers blog:

 

When I saw the new 2013 calendar stickers by SRM, I decided to make a desk calendar. I painted a canvas and then stamped the stamp (Pretty Girl- Suzi Blu by Stampavie) and then paper pieced and painted her. I added the 2013 sticker from Year of Memories 2013 (SRM Stickers). I created a little section to display the calendar month stickers. I mounted each sticker on some ivory cardstock and then cut them out and used a Cropadile to punch a small hole in the top of each one. I used a nail to attach the calender months through the canvas to the wooden back so that they were secure. Each month you just change the month and you have the month ahead at a glance.

Hope you like it!  I will be back tomorrow to share some new Gina K with you!

Tag Calendar

Hello! Well...I alluded to this project I was working on in my post yesterday. I finished it (finally!) and am so excited to have something I created as a functional piece in my home.

I recently got the new calendar stickers from SRM stickers and I was inspired to make a calendar with them. But, I thought it would be fun to make a calendar that would also be a display piece. I used a bird cage to clip the month's calendar tags on it. (You could also just use each tag to create a tag book using the title piece for the cover.)
I designed each tag individually to reflect either a holiday or an event in that month or just the season in general. Here is the calendar hanging in my house: Since it is difficult to see all the detail on the pieces in that picture, I took individual pictures of each month and the title.
