Totally Ladybug Tuesday - Challenge 4 - Michele's Sketch Challenge

Good morning, hope you are having a great week so far :-)

Today I'm sharing something a little bit different - a desk calender - which I have made using the sketch by the lovely Michele for this weeks Ladybugs Crafts Ink Challenge

Here's the front cover

Supplies: Cupcake Ruby; Paper - Lush "Pink Floral", MME; MS loopy punch; Prima Flower; Ribbon; Gems; Glamour Dust; Stickles; Oval, Scalloped Oval and numbers cut on Cricut

I hope you have time to check out the rest of the Ladybugs creations by clicking on the links in the sidebar :-)

The base of this calender was one that has been sitting on my desk for the past year and I have been waiting for the opportunity to get rid of the yucky corporate pages and replace them with something more to my liking :-)  As the new diaries etc have starting turning up I could wait no longer to, err, recycle it :-)

Here's the inside - as I got into my stride I found it easier to replicate the design for each page, but switch the image from left to right to keep the calender sitting as flat as possible :-).  I'd also like to say that all those holes where the wire goes through have been handcut as I don't have a bind-it-all machine - honestly I'm amazed the pages are as in line as they are!!  I think I'm going to tinker with a few op the pages a bit more until I am happy... well as happy as a crafter gets with a project anyway :-)
