Birthday Calendar Box

It is time for another first Monday blog hop at Designer Crafts Connection. This month our theme is "Let's Party". In order to keep track of the parties I need to be at, I made a perpetual Birthday Calendar Box! 

I have had this class swirling in my mind for some time, and it has taken me a while to make it reality. I knew kinda what I wanted, but I just couldn't seem to work out the logistics of the box. I finally gave up and made the box myself :)

I used Sizzix mat board to create the box. I used Graphic 45 Home Sweet Home paper line to decorate the box and make the inserts.

I wanted a little texture on the sides. I ran actual duct tape from the hardware store through my Cuttlebug using an embossing folder. Since the duct tape is an actual tape, I just peeled the paper off the back and stuck it on :)

 I used a new wood token from Maya Road and a vintage chipboard butterfly from Tattered Angels on the front.

Be sure to check out all the projects in the web ring. Use the arrows under the logo in my sidebar to the right to navigate through the ring. There are so many talented artists in the group, there is so much to see!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a wonderful week!
