Yeah!!!! I have finally made & finished my calendar blocks!!! I have wanted some ever since a few years ago when my mom had bought a set at real deals. I had seen the unfinished countdown block sets at the wood connection for a while but wasn't ever sure how to go about changing out the months because I didn't want to spend a lot of money making a different wood base for each month, not to mention the additional space I would need to store them to only pull out once a month. Then I found this
pin on interest & the DUH!!!! Why didn't I already think of this moment happened. I did do mine a little different from the pinterest pin in that I laminated my months, mod podge & I don't exactly get along all that great & I'll be honest I was scared that somewhere down the road the tape would rip my paper because the mod podge had been worn off. So I used my Xyron to laminate them. :) I did use the same font because I thought it was super cute & have been looking for a font with curly "Y"'s for sometime.
This first set I made for my friend who is moving to California. She will still be working for our work, just remotely. She has done so much for me & I am going to miss her not being in the office so much! I thought this would be fun for her to have on her work desk @ home. :)
This second set I made for myself. I LOVE this paper!!! It's Mr. Campy by Cosmo Cricket. They no longer carry it & I am so sad. I have very few pieces of this paper left & was able to make the calendar blocks with scraps! I haven't decided if I am going to take mine to work or keep it on our computer desk at home. Either way it is sure to bring a smile to my face everytime I see it.
Happy Pinning everyone!
