A Happy Friday to you everyone! Flourishes has a wonderful treat for you today! Back by popular demand, our Calendar template for 2012! Today the girls are going to show off some Calendar ideas pairing the template with some of our Flourishes sets.
Today I'm going to show you a page from March 2012. I thought a great idea for the Calendar would be to make it up as a gift for a friend, and then also include little note cards to go along with the calendar page for each month. That way, you are set for little notes or Birthdays in the month.
So, here we have March and the beautiful Irish Blessing set from Flourishes. I think that the bouquet of Oxalis or clover is stunning and wanted to showcase it on the Calendar page. The page is 5 x 7 inches.
I've added the clover trails along the bottom with some pretty stretchy green gingham ribbon. Coloring is done with this Copic Collection
+ R81, R83, R85, R89
I also wanted to use some of the other elements in the set, the tinier bit of clover and the Claddaugh ring. So I used them in the 3 x 3 notes.
And then to gift and store the little notes, I just added a regular A2 envelope with Scor Tape on the back of the calendar page to hold the 3 x 3s and envelopes. This way everything is handy!
Check out the other great ideas with the new Calendar Template for 2012 with the rest of the Design Team. The Template is now downloadable and will cost just $2. And you can use it as many times as you like!

Your calendar page is beautiful, Christine! The shamrocks are so pretty paired with that little bit of bright red, and what a great idea to add note cards and make a wonderful gift!
