Well, I was on a roll so decided to work on June's calendar. I used another sheet of the Memory Box Brandywine paper collection. I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and then used a sanding block on the outside edge. I used one of the images along with the June calendar from the Crafty Secrets Heart Warming Vintage Creative Scraps Seasonal Calendar sheet. I mounted it on a piece of sheet music also distressed. I cut the image of the little girl from a children's book. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and I set 3 rhinestones down the middle.
I used a length of saddle stitched ribbon and placed it through the hole in the center of the CD and then mounted the paper over it. I slid a button with a shank down the ribbon but did not attach it to anything because I wanted it to turn to the other side. I did the July calendar on the other side of this CD.
See what I mean about the button being able to turn around? Again I used a sheet from the Memory Box Brandywine paper collection. I distressed it just as I did the June side. I torn the America the Beautiful music out of a children's book and distressed it. The calendar and the image is from the CSHV Creative Scraps Seasonal Calendar sheet. I typed up the "Vacation Time" on the computer, distressed and mounted it on the image. I added lots of buttons and it's done.
These were fun to do and I'll finish up the rest of the year but maybe not just now.
