You are in for a treat! Over the next week, I'll be sharing inspiring ideas for our new 2009-2010 calendars from a few of our designers and also some stamping friends! If you missed the announcement about the calendars yesterday, be sure to take a peek here for the scoop! This year there are four calendars available. Today I am sharing a fun idea from Lexi using the 4-bar (A1) version - which is available --> here! (Remember that we are *only* able to process calendar orders during regular business hours. So if you order after hours or on the weekend, you won't have access to the download until the next business day.)
Lexi created this fabulous school year at a glance wall calendar! All versions of the calendar include 16 months (September 2009 - December 2010), but since Lexi's calendar covers the school year, she used only September to June. Lexi printed the 4-bar version of the calendar and then trimmed them and mounted them to our Petite Gingham cardstock and got stamping! So fun to see all these images together!
Lexi will be sharing more information about her project on her blog today. But in case you are curious, the dates with apples over them are beginning and end of school and conference days, the days with yellow stars are vacations and days off, and those with blue stars are fun school events or parties that are already on the school calendar.
Here is a photo of the whole calendar hanging on the wall! I love that she tied them together with polka dot ribbon!
Such a fun and useful idea - I might have to make one myself! Stay tuned for more inspiration tomorrow!
This is such a fun idea. I love how Lexi used the little star and apple stamps on special days. So clever!!

Such a great idea! Getting the A Muse calendar each year is something I really look forward to. I usually make them as gifts for Christmas and I'm trying to decide what size I want to do this year! Can't wait to see more inspiration!

Lexi, you outdid yourself on this one!! I love the little stamps on the dates and the way that you tied it all together. I also love the themes you picked for each month. They are adorable! A+ for you!!
