INSTRUCTIONS

Cut 1 piece of cream colored cardstock and 1 piece of chipboard each 4-1/2 x 4-1/2.  Paste the cardstock to the chipboard, then die-cut the Scallop Square using the Sizzix die.  The resulting piece will be 4-1/4 x 4-1/4.

Punch 2 birds & 2 wings from blue cardstock.  Punch 2 branches and 2 more wings (for leaves) from the green cardstock.  Emboss the leaves with the Lattice embossing folder.  Punch a Boho Blossom from the yellow cardstock.  Ink the edges of everything with a slightly darker shade of whatever color cardstock you're working with to give it definition.  Using a Crop-A-Dile, punch two 1/8 holes on each end of the top of the Scallop Square & put some ribbon through both holes for hanging.  Tie off the ends with a small knot.

Stamp each month on a piece of white cardstock then punch out the months with the Modern Label punch.  Pull off each page of the calendar and glue each stamped month to the appropriate page.  Punch 1/8 holes with your Crop-A-Dile through 4 pages of the calendar on each end of the modern label.  Keep punching holes 4 pages at a time, making sure to line up the holes with the first set of pages.  Put large brads on either end to hold the calendar together.  Glue to the right side of the Scallop Square.  Cut a piece of cork board 1-1/2 x 2-3/4 and glue to the left of the calendar.  Cut a small piece of the Pompom trim and glue to the bottom of the cork board.  Glue the flower onto the cork board in the upper left corner.  Glue one pompom in the center of the Boho Flower.  Put the 2 tacks in the corkboard.

Viola!  You're done!
