Today, some of the Baker's Dozen designers are spotlighting the new downloadable products available from Taylored Expressions! I am using these sweet Mini Calendars (you all know how much I love calendars!) that measure approximately 2" x 3". I happen to be particularly fond of this download, since I designed them! ;-) Here's some more information about them:
2010 Dated Calendar(mini): designed by Sharon Harnist and available in both black and brown. These mini (business card size) calendars can be added to a larger page leaving more space for design...create monthly fridge magnets, etc.
I chose to make a mini monthly calendar set my girls can attach to their backpacks (or wherever they'd like), to help them remember the day of the week and month.
I adhered these little calendars on some designer papers, dressed them up with punched images and machine stitching, and then put them inside plastic sleeve name badge holders for protection. The name badges measure 2.75" x 3.50" and can be found at your office supply store or WalMart.
COPIC TIP:
To make your punched or die cut images pop, outline them with a Copic marker or accent them with Spica glitter pen. See the difference it makes in the heart punched shape above? Below, turquoise Copic Atyou Spica glitter pen was added to the snowman's hat, over BG72 marker:
These downloads are very easy to print and use -- they are PDF files. I printed mine on Choice Buttercream cardstock with no problems. You may want to change the paper setting on your printer to accommodate cardstock. Wouldn't this also be a great gift to give Grandma to use as a keyring, with her grandchild's photo on the reverse side?!!
Each of the Center of Attention products will be on sale for a limited time (today and tomorrow, December 16-17) at a 15% discount! And the best part...there are no shipping charges for the downloadable items! You can find all the downloadables HERE in the Taylored Expressions Store.
Be sure to visit these Baker's Dozen designers today to see the projects they came up with for some of the other downloads! Taylor VanBruggen, Charmaine Ikach, Karen Giron, Jodi Collins and Donna Baker.
