I was out and about in Berkeley today and happened to pop into Paper Source when I was hit with a great crafting idea. Right now they're having 50% all their calendars so they had a feature wall of different months of the calendar and the display had me inspired upon first look. They used a solid color that was probably a 26 X 20 cover weight paper. On the top half of that sheet they had a decorative paper that left about a 1 inch border around the decorative paper (to reveal the solid color backing). On the bottom half of the sheet they had the calendar for that one month, but they decorated it using an image or two from the decorative paper on the top half which unified the whole paper (they left a 1 inch border around the calendar part as well). I did an example so you get an idea of how the end product should look. Now this is just to show how the proportions should look , the ones they showed in the store looked beautiful.
I think this project would be relatively easy with some scissors, a trip to your local paper store, some double-sided tape or non-liquid glue, a home computer, and a little imagination.
Side Note: Paper Source has a new color called fig, that I'm in love with.Think Eggplant mixed with Pomegranate.
