Good Morning!
I hope you're having a great start to 2013. I know I am, I've been playing, relaxing and reading. I really enjoy my Kindle Fire.

Here's something else I've been enjoying... playing with my Scor-Pal and products. I have been lucky to land a guest design spot! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am about this. But I'm a bit intimidated, too. How am I going to come up with great projects to share with you? Well, I'll do my best.
I started here....
I went calendar crazy with the start of the New Year! I'm sorry that picture isn't so pretty, but wait til I show you the calendars individually.
This was the first one I did. Now I found a You Tube video by Caroline Buchtine (here). Now what she created were great, but I felt it needed a bit more stability. So here's what I did. I started with a base piece of card stock that measures 7 x 9 1/2. Then on the Scor-Pal, score at 1, 4 1/2, 8 1/2 and 9 inches. Fold at your score lines, all mountain folds. The 1/2 part will be a valley fold. Then apply Scor-Tape along that edge and adhere to close up the tent. I hope that makes sense. And then decorate.
I then took it further. This calendar measures 5 1/2 inch square.
And then one more. This one measures 4 1/2 inch square. I feature MFT stamp set Clearly Sentimental about Audrey Hepburn, Die-Namics Mini Royal Roses, Die-Namics Fishtail Banners and the dies that came with the new Genius Ultimate Platform.
I do hope you enjoy my calendars and try making one for yourself.

Loved the card Melissa. Received Scor-Pal for Christmas, looking forward to all the projects.
Nice project to begin the new year.
Thank you Melissa and Scor-pal!
Great calendar ideas, Thanks!
I look forward to some day having the time to create a calendar half as lovely as these examples!
Love these calendars!
Great idea and beautiful caledars!
Hi everyone, thank you for the lovely comments.
I was contacted by Scor-Pal follower Sherry who said that she was having difficulty with the green calendar. I re-read the post and I have a typo. The proper score lines are 1", 4 1/2", 8" and 9" - this will give you the 1/2" flap needed to close up the tent.
My apologies. I really should've proofread better.
The scor-pal pinterest board was inspiration today at splitcoaststampers. I chose your calendar as my inspiration and thought I would come on by to say thank you. I love making these types of projects and I actually needed another small calendar on my desk, so the timing was perfect.
