I can't believe it..only 15 more days until Christmas! My youngest son turned 8 months today! He's crawling around and getting into trouble with a capital "T". Before I know it he'll be walking!
This year has gone by so fast! Does everyone have your homemade gifts completed? Well, if not I've given you an INSPIRING idea created by one of our past dt members MARLA KRESS. Create this in no time. That special someone will treasure this forever!
Most all of the Piggy Tales cardstock paper and chipboard letters used to create this project are available for purchase on our website at DISCOUNT prices, so don't delay! Here's the link for your convenience:

Other Needed Supplies:
wood block, 2 metal rings, (1) metal frame with brads, 12x12 pieces of chipboard, white cardstock, Calendar stamps, gray paint, circle punch
I've listed what Piggy Tales Collection (cardstock paper and chipboard letter) Marla used for each month.
January: The Frog Prince
February: Little Red Riding Hood
March: The Frog Prince
April: The Gingerbread Man
May: Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs
June: Little Boy Blue
July: Little Red Riding Hood
August: The Frog Prince
September: Goldilocks and the 3 Bears
October: The Gingerbread Man
November: Little Boy Blue
December: Little Red Riding Hood
Instructions:
1. Drill holes in block of wood for metal rings. I'm not sure what size Marla used for the block of wood, so it's up to you to determine what size you'd like yours to be.
2. Paint block of wood using gray acrylic paint.
3. Insert metal rings in holes.
4. Paint chipboard backing for each month.
5. Cut out background for each month and adhere to chipboard backing.
6. Stamp calendar onto white cardstock.
7. Adhere photo to background.
8. Cut Piggy Tales cardstock paper to size and adhere to background.
9. January, February, June, July and December have white circles punched out of cardstock. Adhere punched circles to backgrounds, then trim off edges.
Let me know if you have any questions! Have FUN!!
