New Mini Calendar!

Yesterday I shared with you my plans for making calendar gift for my friends and today I'm excited to share a new addition to the A Muse calendar line: the mini calendar!  Eek!  It's so cute!

I have always wanted to make a calendar mounted to ribbon, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this and make a special wall hanging:

 

I think it fits perfectly in my craft room!  My room is the only place I get the excuse to be super girly, so I went with the theme of pink and black.  It's a double sided calendar with the first 6-months on the front, and the remaining months on the back.  I decided to print the calendar in grayscale so I could control colors.  I used Marvy punches to back the calendar square (mega) with a scalloped square (giga) made of A Muse's gorgeous shimmer couture damask paper in onyx.  This is SO EASY because the calendar fits perfectly in the punch!

I used two pieces of Scor-Pal tape (1/2" thick) to mount the square to the ribbon.  I opted on the Score-pal tape because that stuff is wicked strong!  I figured if it would be hanging on a wall for a year it should be well made :)

  

I attached the back first, making sure the squares were evenly spaced, then used an additional piece of Scor-pal tape to adhere the front square.

 

I added the 2010 topper (using the lime shimmer couture paper), trimmed the edges, and added a lime A Muse pretty pearl in between each calendar page.  

I love the final result and know lots of people who would love getting this as a holiday gift!
