A 2016 Birthday Calendar Organizer by Tessa Wise


Hi!  It's Tessa Wise sharing a fun project with you today.   I created a birthday calendar that doubles as a card organizer.

The organizer is an A2 Clear Card Box.  It holds about 8 cards plus envelopes.  I decorated it with the large 2016 sticker from the Year of Memories/2016 sheet and added some cardstock and patterned papers around the middle of the box.  I also added a bit of Honeydew Baker's Twine around it for embellishment.

In the center of the box, I added a mini calendar sticker from the Mini Calendar Stickers/Decorative 2016 Sticker Sheet.  The year's worth of calendar stickers have been stuck down onto white cardstock and diecut using the new Wafer Thin Die made especially for them.  

I loved using this new decorative die for the Mini Calendar Deco design for this project!

I can circle the important dates each month so I don't forget to send my cards!  The extra month diecuts fit perfectly in one of the new Vintage Floral Bags:

Each month has a bit of velcro tape on the back of it.  I can easily change out each month as I go through the year.

When a new month comes around, I just change out the calendar and add my cards for that month!

I'm hoping this project will keep me organized and sending cards throughout the year!
