12 Days of Christmas~Day 3

Welcome to day three of the My Creative Time 12 days of Christmas! Last year, I was able to complete all twelve days but unfortunately, my son got sick and well, we all know how that goes! Emma and some of the Design Team have a project for the next 12 days so make sure you go check it out! I love this time of the year but I have a love and hate relationship with the weather! Love to stay in on cold rainy days but my bones do not like it! I think Im getting old! lol! Anyways, for my project today, I made this desk calendar as a gift for a special person. I really hope she likes it! It took longer then I thought it would but I am very happy with it. For the base I used a box from the dollar store. I covered it with paper and embellished it with MCT stamps and dies. There are three different sizes of of tags so you can see the month, week, and day, For the numbers the tags are cut in half so she can changed the numbers. The day and months are from the MCT lower case die! Love how it came out! This is not my original idea but I cannot find the link to the Youtube channel I found it at. If you find it please let me know! I don't think it's exactly like the one I saw. I did not have any directions so I just had to "wing" it..




Here is a picture of the months. I used different paper to reflect that month.


The MCT Anyday bingo and Crossword went perfect with this calendar!


Here is a close up of the numbers.
