2012 Embossed Metal Desktop Photo Calendar

The 2012 Embossed Metal Desktop Photo Calendar is the perfect item for you to create as we get ready to start a new year. As the New Year begins, a common New Year’s Resolution is to get organized. One of the ways many of us get organized is through the use of a calendar and a planner. Today, I would like to share a calendar I created that will help you start off on the right track of getting organized with your time.

I absolutely love the 2012 Embossed Metal Desktop Photo Calendar. It is elegant and beautifully displays interchangeable pictures all year around. I took the acrylic calendar concept and gave it an Add a Little Dazzle twist by adding craft metal sheets and creating a magnetic piece. This desktop calendar was created using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Texturz Plates, Early Espresso Card stock, and Metallic Brads accompanied by Add a Little Dazzle Brushed Bronze Craft Metal Sheets. All these items combined created a stunning photo calendar.

Are you wondering about the magnetic piece and interchangeable pictures? I added this feature by taking 12 pictures of my family and matting them on Early Espresso Card stock. Afterwards, I attached a Magnetic Sheet piece to the back of each picture and to the empty acrylic portion of the desktop photo calendar. Throughout the year, I can take any of the 12 pictures and change them. I can even use the pictures as magnets.

Here are some more samples of the magnetic photo pieces I created for the desktop photo calendar. I absolutely love these and am going to make one for my mother, mother-in-law, and father so they can have pictures of their grandchildren all year long.

What a Great Project to Kick off the New Year!!
