Pinaddict challenge 1, Perpetual calendar


This is a project I saw and wanted to make for the new year.

Then I found out about the pin addicts pinterest challenge at http://mylovebumps.blogspot.com/ and thought it would be a great opportunity to get some projects made and help me along with blogging :)



I got together all the things needed for the project card and stamp and ink. In the tutorial they use postcards for month dividers however I decided to use photos to make it more personal to myself. I also looked everywhere for a similar cardboard container but with no luck I again turned to my pinterest to see if I could find anything, lucky I did and I purchased a pottery berry basket from Anthropologie.

Here is how my project turned out, I would say the pot is a little small to hold all the cards properly but I love it and it will definitely do (a few years) till I can get to America and buy my self a card berry basket :)





Stamping under way I did this over 2 evenings as it did take some time.
