Hey everyone! Happy (almost) New Year! I hope you had a really wonderful Christmas this year! It's always strange the week after Christmas, don't you think? It's like soooo many days (months?) of build up, and then poof, it's all over! I usually feel a bit of Christmas let down in the days after. Then it's time to begin the process of putting everything away and saying good bye to all the festivities. I miss it!! But, the one good thing about this week, is that we can plan and get excited for the new year to come! I'm excited because in three weeks I'll be in Phoenix with about 10,000 of my closest crafty friends at the annual CHA Convention! I cannot wait. So that is the first thing I put down in my new planner!!
I shared a New Year's Card on the SSS Blog this past Saturday. CLICK HERE if you want to check it out! It's very bright and cheerful. Today I'm sharing a calendar project made with awesome products and supplies from Concord & 9th! They came out with a bundle that has an awesome pre-printed calendar and a calendar stamp set in their signature font. I was super excited to ink this up. I worked on this on Christmas day, and now I'm happy to share with you. After I stamped all the pages, I cut a piece of chipboard to match the size (5×7) and then bound it with my Cinch. Now it will stand up on my desk.
Here is the cover! I used the Flourish Stamp Set to add a big, bold colorful floral bouquet!
The next two collage photos show each of the 12 month pages I made! All the stamp sets are listed below in the supply links.
And here are a few close ups of some of the pages! First up is this adorable bear holding his sign! I colored this with just a few Copic Markers.
For the back, I used white chipboard. I added a little sticker to the back with the name of my business!
Here are all the pages laid out on my table! Ready to assemble!
I love my Cinch tool! It's SOOOO easy to bind your own books, calendars, scrapbooks, etc. I used the 3/4 inch size silver coil for this project. Here is a photo of the holes punched in the top before binding.
Thank you for being part of my 2016! You all mean so much to me! Thank you for all the kind comments and uplifting words! Let's cheers to a great 2017! Full of creativity and joy! I'll be back on New Year's Eve posting as part of a GIANT blog hop that has prizes at each stop. I hope to see you then! XOXO

Love each and every page. I want to make one now….and I want a cinch tool. 🙂
Those are very pretty and a nice size.
I don’t really make New Year’s resolutions, but this year I would love to finish my Christmas cards early in order to spend more time with my family
I love so many of the choices you made in decorating your calendar pages. I’ve been hoping someone would come up with some more inspiration for that great stamps set – I think I love the bear peaking out of your page the most. Adorable!
