Altered CD Calendar

I have had the idea of creating a calendar with the little tear off months forming in the back of my mind for a while now. This is the first attempt, there are some wrinkles to iron out but it turned out pretty cute.

To make it stamp and color the dragon (I used copics) and then trim it out. Cut out a mat and glue it onto a CD. Tear a piece of coordinated paper about 1.5" x 3" and adhere it from the left edge of the cd in the center - the right side of the paper will fall about 1/3 of the way from the right edge of the disc. Using a Lavendar colored distress ink pad I inked the edges of the disc and swiped it across the paper a few times.

Adhere the dragon to the right side of the disc with it's wings extended over the edge a bit. For the calendar I did a quick search online for a printable one, what I used wasn't that great but it works. Print it out on a solid coordinating color and cut out the months. Cut mats from a darker paper that about about .25" wider and .5" taller than the calendar pages and adhere each one. Use a piece of double sided tape along the upper edge of each page to attach them all and stick to the base.

I used Prima flowers to embellish along with Rock Candy Stickles from Ranger and some rhinestones. The hanger is a fancy paper clip from Making Memories, I just bent the plain part of the clip out so it can rest on a wall hanger.

I am thinking of creating a few of these as part of a teacher's gift set for the upcoming school year. Well I hope you enjoy it!
