We made these at Stamp Club this weekend, and got a TON done!  I got the calendars from A Muse.  They are 4x6 and fit in a 4x6 cd/calendar case.  Lots of current/retired/non-SU products, so I'm not going to list anything specific.  Just posting pics of the months. 

Enjoy!

Trio of Trees

These are my favorite cards from my Christmas Cards Class.  I love those buttons, even though they're too big to mail.  They definitely require hand-cancelling at the post office and extra postage.  But they're so adorable!

I also used the precut Notecards and envelopes for these.  They are smaller than traditional A2s, but still a decent enough size.

Other:  Ornament punch, 1/8" hole punch, Gold brads, Stampin' dimensionals, sponge, Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Sticky Strip
