    Just wanted to share this little flip calendar that I made using Memory Pockets Monthly, Emerge and Designed by Soco, Hello 2023 - Calendar Cards.

    My plan is to decorate each month's calendar with embellishments from the Memory Pockets Monthly kit as it is released.

    This was a relatively simple project.
    1. I printed out the calendar pages, decorated the January calendar with flowers and a butterfly from MPM Emerge.
    2. the "stand" is made of a sheet of cardboard. It is just slightly wider than the calendar but quite a bit longer. The bottom part of the carboard is folded under and back to make the base and a "kickstand" is cut from the back that attaches to the base and supports the calendar. Here is an image of the back of the cardboard, cut and folded. I roughly followed a video I found on you tube by "being me."

    Note that the part the calendar attaches to is facing the table in the photo. I then covered the stand with black card stock and glued the kickstand to the base. I punched holes in the stand and in the calendar pages and attached them with binder rings.

    Easy, peasy and so inexpensive for a beautiful desk calendar.

    This seriously is perfect Dawn. I love the fact that you can put it on your desk. I think I may do this next year rather than my planner which is harder to pull out every time I want to look at it.
