Download A Muse 2010 Calendar - mini

Linda designed this calendar to be punched with a Marvy Mega (pink) Scallop Square punch.  To make the accordian, you will need two 2" strips of paper that are scored every 2".  One piece measures 2" x 10" and the other piece measures 2" x 8".  Overlap one panel entirely and adhere.

A Muse printed paper has a pattern on one side and is white or natural on the other side.  To add color to the side that is not printed, we used a Colorbox Fluid Chalk ink pad and just dabbed ink around the edges.

Speaking of calendars, don't forget about the A Muse Calendar Download project benefitting Water 1st! Calendars make fun, inexpensive and useful gifts that are cherished all year long!  And when you give the gift of a personalized calendar, you will also be giving the gift of fresh drinking water to some of the poorest regions of the world! We've raised over $3,000 so far... let's make it $4,000!  You can read all about it here.

When you purchase the A Muse 2010 Calendar download, you are able to print as many copies of the calendar as you wish.  Make one or forty (like Jill!)
