A Mini Calendar Gift

I often find myself needing to put my crafting supplies to use to justify this $$$$ hobby. Whenever possible! I mean, it's a good thing, win-win for me because I prefer giving something that I created with my hands. And my recipients often think it's "so cool" that I made it myself, and then the "wow,  you're so dorky..." conversation ensues, butttttt we'll save that story for another day!

I created a tiny desktop calendar for my friend. The calendar was printed on white cardstock. I stamped the doily images from an older October Afternoon stamp set. I believe it's from the Thrift Shop line.


The letter P is from Hero Arts Fancy Letters. Very pretty. 


I used this gorgeous antique doily die to bind the case.

Isn't she gorgeous? I love all the details and best of all, the die produces a nice clean cut (not always the case with intricate dies)!
