Dear Readers,
First things first : Wish you all a very Happy New Year 2014 . Hope this year brings to the best of everything - Health, Wealth, Joy and Prosperity :)
Now coming on to the first craft item of the year - 2 desktop calendars! Yes , I made 2 of them - one for my parents and the other for my grandpa They are more or less same with a little difference that the one for my grandpa has larger prints so that he has no difficulty see it. And the one for my parents has pictures and quotes on it too.
Now the calendar has 12 leafs - 1 for each month. Every alternate leaf is the same color and I have incorporate 2 colors here - cream and black. The back stand as such is patterned paper with delicate paper work at the bottom. I made a flap for both the calendars with golden color paper and embellished it withe the sentiment - Happy New Year - which I fuzzy cut.
The calendar as such is on cream background with a flurry of bright colors. But my better half did his bit and added some touches of colorful coordinating glitter so that now it sparkles! Doesn't it look wonderful :)
And then at the bottom of each of the leaf, I have stuck some die cuts to the near end and left some portion hanging. It gives the leaf a good look I would say! Then on the alternate leaves, I have pasted some family pics and on the others, some family quotes, have a look. The leaves have also been embellished with cream color pearls at the sides.And then everything comes together with the help of binders.

Hope you had a great time going through the pics. Have a great year ahead.
