Coaster Calendar

Today I've got something new to share with you.  I used some 4 x 4 coasters and turned them into this cute little hanging calendar.


I colored my image with Copics, then I distressed the edges of the coasters with some ink, added some ribbon and pearls, then printed out my calendars and attached them with brads.

Challenges:

Card Patterns - Sketch
Totally Tilda - Decorate a Coaster
Truly Scrumptious - Distressing
do you stack up? - Brown
Digi Doodle -  Distressing

Have a great weekend!

    Brook, what a wonderful idea! Can't remember seeing coaster calendar before. Your distressing is perfect and these colours and embellishment are nicely and neatly made. You have paid attention to all small details, pearls, roses, lace... Gorgous and perfect to join our challenge this week at Digi Doodle Shop's Best. :)
