#TGIFC350 - Perpetual Calendar using Catching Butterflies

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

I'm coming back this week to share my entry for the TGIF Challenge #350, using a gorgeous combination of colors! 

My take on this week's challenge is not a card but a perpetual calendar that you can use over and over! This would make a great gift to that special someone at any time of the year OR you can just make one for yourself!

This calendar features the Days To Remember stamp set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog along with the Catching Butterflies stamp set from the 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. 

To switch from month to month, you can use the "belly band" to slide the window and match the day of the week to the 1st day of the month. I LOVE the clever design that Stampin' UP! did for this!!!!

Each month is removable just by using some velcro.

Watch this quick clip of how the calendar works.
