2009 Calendars

2009 is just around the corner! How about welcoming in the new year with some rather snazzy calendars? The unique month-to-month designs are available in a PDF for you to download and print yourself, as many as you like. Quick & easy! They're the perfect size to fit inside a CD case for desk display, or to give to some lucky duck as a gift. Because, honestly, who doesn't need a calendar?

The calendars are available in two different color schemes as shown below. If you do decide to do what all the other "cool kids" are doing and purchase one of these bad boys, you will need Acrobat Reader. You can download it for free here.

UPDATE: Basic calendars have been added below! Included are just the months and days so you can embellish them to your liking and show off your own creativity :)

CHOCOLATE & LIME $6

Colors should print a bit softer than what the PDF shows.

BASIC $4

Shown is an example of what each month will look like. All 12 months are included in the PDF.





CD CASE ASSEMBLY: Any CD case will do. You just have to flip the lid back. You can see how to do this here.

ABOUT PRINTING: Any card stock will do nicely, however I've noticed that printing on card stock that is super-smooth (i.e. Stampin' Up! Whisper White & Very Vanilla) doesn't print as nice as card stock that has a bit of a rougher texture. In the image at the top the Black & Red calendar was printed on French Speckletone 80# Cover in Kraft and the Chocolate & Lime was printed on Strathmore 80# Cover in White, which I bought at Xpedx. These papers have produced very nice prints on my Epson ink jet. Also note that colors may shift from screen to screen & printer to printer.

Got here from Kristina's blog or should I say the amazingly talented Kristina:O) Love your blog!
Quick question, do I need a special kind of Cd cover? or do I need to do something to the Cd cover so that It works as a calendar?
Thanks!

Hi Jen! If I decide to order a calendar, will I still be able to get it right away, considering it's now Christmas Eve Eve Eve? LOL!!!

Marge,

Totally! An email is sent as soon as your order goes through, it's automatic. I love the internet!
