Upright Z-Fold Calendar

 

I am happy to say this is my first guest design for Ellibelle's i-spy challenge, thanks for inviting me Ellie, I always enjoy your themes.  For December the challenge is for something old and/or something new,  join us here:  simplyellibelle - I spy with my little eye

For my "OLD"  I chose one of the first stamp sets I bought when I started paper crafting around 2005; and lots of other stuff too (see list below).  For the "NEW" I used a calender for the new year.  I thought the butterflies signified  emerging from an old year starting anew.  

The card is made using a 6x6" base card.  

Butterflies and ladybird are stamped onto toning snippets of scrap patterned paper and cut out, stickles added to bodies.  White card is behind the top of the calendar to write a message.
