Whatcha' Doing? 2

Some of you may have seen my post several days ago about my calendar project here.   I guess you could say this is the sequel, LOL!

My new calendar project came about after seeing Larissa's beautiful project here.    Her candy box was so adorable, I was anxious to case her.   Thanks Larissa for the inspiration and the links to your project!

I purchased the template from Cards etc. Shop  and with a little tweeking, turned my box into a calendar/post-it holder.  Luckily the width was perfect to hold the post-it, but I had to make the length a little longer to accommodate my calendar size.  

The template comes in an SVG file to cut with a Cricut, a GSD file to cut with the Silhouette and a PDF to print and cut out by hand.  Since I have neither the Cricut nor the Silhouette, I cut out the pattern by hand but used a Nestabilities Die Cut instead to cut out the design.

a side view

and a view of the back.  I used a coaster board for my stand so it would be stronger to hold the weight.  I covered the board with a pink Post-it Adhesive Craft Paper.  Note to self: attach a holder to the side for a pen/pencil on the next one.

Tiddly Inks' current challenge is "Just Be Me--a card that's all about You!".  Since I ask my DH "whatcha' doing today?" almost every day, guess this qualifies, lol!
