A Special Calendar from Linda White

IMG_1421-001

Sometimes a handmade papercrafting project arrives in the mail that drops me in my tracks!  Linda White surprised me with this remarkable calender she created.  It sits on my desk and I'll have the fun of anticipating a new look each month–each being an incredible work of art. 

IMG_1435-001

I love that each month gets propped up in a CD holder for easy viewing on my desk.  Simple idea!

IMG_1423-001

I'm in awe of the clever details, like the snowman's belly, the fluffy Easter bunny tails and the googlie eyes on the Halloween spider.  Which month is your favorite?  Share it with a comment below.

  1. Just a little date in this game. I think that this is so adorable. Starting to think about Christmas 2015 for all the nieces and nephews. Did Linda ever send or post the measurements?
    Would love to follow her, such great ideas

  2. I love the them all but the little August snail makes me giggle, so that is my favorite. Can you tell us where to get the calendar template and the cool CD holder? The ones I have don’t work very well.

  3. Loved the calendar. All the featured months are beautiful. I would also like the instructions. This would be a nice gift that my nieces and nephews can make for their mother. Please post instructions. Thank you!!!

  4. I had a difficult time finding the calendars. I finally got in touch with Painter 410. The first set of calendars was sold out, but she did put up another set of 2014. That was very nice of her. Great little calendars! We’ll have fun making these cuties! (They’re on ebay)

  5. Love, Love, Love this calendar. Unfortunately, I have limited time and does Linda sell them or would she be interested in selling this calendar?

  6. Very cute, thanks for sharing. Please let me know if instructions are posted anywhere. Love your aligator card with the foil medallion too.

  7. Amazing job and the best calendar ideas that I’ve ever enjoyed….Linda, you are an amazingly creative person…thank you for sharing with us, Mary!

  8. What a great project! Linda you are so creative. Thank you Mary for sharing this with us. I too would love instructions. Especially for the little details that might be missed! I think I like June best – because it is pink and so bright and happy! Makes me think of my Granddaughters. Really though there is something to like about all of them. Great Job! Good luck with your painting project!

  9. I would love to make one as well, if she could give us a tutorial, it will be great!!! Thanks a lot for sharing such a beautiful art work!!!!

  10. Mary, This is a great calendar that Linda Made. I would also love the directions. Linda you did a fantastic job on this monthly calendar. Good Job. Ellen Hinds

  11. I have made several of these calendars (that fit in CD cases) in past years and they are well-loved gifts! I must say, however, that Linda’s version is superior to mine (I just stamped on each calendar page vs. the layers and details that Linda has creatively added for this one). Since I also know how much effort goes into a project like this I think Linda deserves to get some recompensation for any written instructions she provides – I will say I would
    certainly be willing to pay her for them! Thanks for sharing this wonderful rendition!

    Reply
  12. I would love to know website where you can purchase the clear CD type cases for the calendar too.
    Thank you,
    Julia

  13. Who wouldn’t love to have this desk calendar! I would appreciate receiving instructions, please! Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

    Reply
  14. When I made these calendars, I created a word document, chose my font, consulted calendars, and typed them up myself, printed them out on cardstock, and then stamped, embellished, etc.

    Reply
  15. I have a pretty good idea how much work they are- made lots of these in the past-she definitely deserves credit 🙂

    Reply
  16. I used to make these calendars every year- like about 10 or 15 sets;smaller and made to put in magnetic frames for the fridge- everyone loved them and I got into big trouble when I stopped making them 🙂 These beautiful months are inspiring me to start making them again 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    Reply
  17. Love them all (but especially July)! Such a great idea. Hope to see instructions soon and where to get the calendars. I’ll keep watching. Thanks Mary for sharing!

    Reply
  18. This is so darn cute!! I love it – this was the first year I did not get my calendars done…. Can she share some measurement and where she got the actual calendar (font?) from?

    Thanks for sharing this was great!

    Reply
  19. Love all the positive response! Linda is working on details but there is a LOT to these 12 calendars. She plans to share where she got the pre-printed calendars as well. They are inspiration and can be used however you want . . . but I suggest you credit Linda White 🙂

    Reply
  20. I LOVE these calendars, and would love to get more information on these. This looks like a great project for our church ladies! Are we allowed to sell these as a fund raiser for our church? Diana

    Reply
  21. Such a wonderful gift! Would love to know where she printed the calendar template from. Thanks for sharing this!

    Reply
  22. This is so cute, I love all the months. So dang creative. Thanks for sharing this with us. Would also love the instructions to make some of these.

    Reply
  23. Hurray!!!!! Thank you Linda for taking a moment from the chaos you are going through to put our minds at ease about the directions on how to make this amazing project. I sympathize with you about the mess both with your remodeling and your craft room. Last summer we had a new roof and windows put in and my craft room had a ceiling repair and…..ohhh!! it was awful. But we thank you in advance for sharing instructions for this adorable calendar. We will patiently wait.

  24. Cant pick a favourite they are all fantastic! Would love a tutorial, happy to pay Linda! Thanks for sharing Mary..

  25. Thanks Mary for sharing this with us. Linda, your work is beautiful and neatly done. The calendar is great and I especially like the snowman, the bunnies and July’s flag, however every month brought a smile to my face! I too would love to have the instructions and information on the calendar. Would be interested in buying a completed one myself. Thanks again!!!

  26. Mary, I love Linda’s calendar, what a great job. I love each month. I really like the idea that it is a perfect size for a desk.
    I love the bug in the bottle that is adorable. I would love to have the directions. Thank You Linda for giving this great gift to mary. Mary thank you for sharing it with all of us. Happy Stamping. Ellen Hinds

  30. Hi everyone, this is Linda White and I must say I am feeling the love and I am ever so grateful to each and every one of your comments. I will get my stuff together and let you know what all I used. I will warn you that some of the punches, stamps, and papers are retired but you can easily change those out. We are in the middle of an entire house painting and changing our ceilings right now and my house is total chaos. My stamping room is usually total chaos also as I do not know how to make something without making a mess and I am having to move it all to get the room painted as the painter said no way was he touching all that stuff!!! Yes I have way too much!! So please hang on and I will get it together. I have a site for you to get the cd cases and also a gal who prints out the calendars (which is on stampin up whisper white paper). Once again, Thank you all so much. I was so excited to read all your comments!!!

    Reply
  31. Love it. Is the base calendar a Stampin’ Up! product? My favorite month would be September, because I have always loved that retired stamp set.

    Reply
  32. Linda–what an amazing job! I love the bunnies, the flag (good use of paper), the spider and the turkey. I am drawn to googlie-eyed critters! Love your work and thank you for sharing.

    Reply
  33. Linda is definitely feeling the love and is aware of how anxious you are for the printed calender information as well as the paper crafting supplies and details. Shell need some time to put this together for you 🙂 I appreciate your patience.

    Reply
  34. Holy macaroni is this amazing!!! I am not a calendar person either but this is one I totally want. Since the trend seems to be picking out favorites… Easter is a top two. I got that stamp last year but got it too late to use for Easter and then August… What a brilliant way to use the jar! I never in a million years would have thought to tip it on the side to catch summer critters. I love them all though!! She must be so proud of her creativity. I bet you literally really did stop in your tracks.

    Reply
  35. Linda is a dear friend of mine I have known for about 40 years! She has gifted me with her calendars many times, and I am so blessed! It really is MY FAVORITE THING! I LOVE changing out the months and admiring her detailed work on each month. She has always been so talented with her crafting, and I encourage her to go into business or teach! Not all of us are so talented! Thanks Linda! You are awesome! Thanks Mary for the great job displaying the calendar to share with others!

    Reply
  36. Forgot to add my question. Where did she get the month calendars? I have much of the SU supplies but would love to get a printable calendar. Thank you

    Reply
  37. Linda did a wonderful job. What a great way to use all of our SU products. Like others would like a link to her blog for directions.

  38. I would like to know where she got the calendar template. Such a cute gift! I liked Jan best. I like snowmen – just would rather not get the snow!

  39. Mary,
    Love this calendar idea. Does she have a website to get some measurements and sizing. Also where does she find her calendars.

    Reply
  40. All I can say is ADORABLE! Like the others looking forward to a tutorial. Thanks Mary for sharing this cute calendar.

    Reply
  41. Just typed in my comments, but when I went to “Preview”, it was all gone. What did I do wrong, Mary? Anyway, I just love Linda’s project and can’t wait to receive the instructions. Thank you so very much for sharing, Mary.

    Reply
  42. Yay! 99 posts so far. Please count me in as inspired and impressed! Looking forward to Linda’s instructions. Thanks so much!!

  43. Absolutely adorable! My favorites include the August button snail and November’s turkey. I’d love to try and make one of these — someday… Thanks for sharing Mary!

    Reply
  44. Love, love, love it. Can’t wait to get the instructions. What a wonderful gift. Does anyone know what the name of the September stamp is? Trying to pull out what I think I will need so that I am ready 🙂 but don’t think I have that one.

    Reply
  45. This is such a cute project, I love it. I’m overjoyed that Linda is going to share the instructions. My favorite month is April, love the butterfly and it’s also my mother’s birthday month. Thanks so much for sharing this Mary.

  46. so sweet – really tough to decide – i think Aug and Nov both made me smile the most – beautiful job Linda – you can see the talent and perfection in all the details…

  47. Mary, I love the calendar and thank you so much for sharing it with us! I would love to know where she got the calendar template. It is the prefect size for a teacher gift, too.

    Reply
  48. So Adorable! I couldn’t choose a favorite month as they all are so fun! I hope to get instructions and the calendar print outs. I want to duplicate this right now! Nice job Linda White! Thanks for sharing your gift Mary. 🙂

    Reply
  49. I have a stand up calendar that I make but just have not had the time or inspiration to make it this year. Using one of my favorite sets like Linda did, I think I can get some of my Button Buddies on a page before January is gone. I am sure I can find a calendar that would work on line someplace. I like the simplicity of the designs as they are the stars. I tend to overembelish and much it up! I hope Linda provides us with more guidance too. Thanks Mary for sharing Linda’s talents with us!

    Reply
  50. I have to agree. This calendar is great. I too would like instructions and yo know where to get the calendar template.

  51. Love it! Love it! Love it! What a special project that would be. And the idea of fitting into a CD case is really clever.

    Reply
  52. This is THE cutest thing I have ever seen…and so practical, too!! LOVE it!! I have GOT to make one as well! I can’t wait for the instructions!! Thank you for sharing this work of art, Mary!!

    Reply
  53. Adorable! I actually had instructions, at least on sizing and the template from a project I did years ago. Now I’ll have to comb through my archives to see if I can locate them! Or wait until Linda is kind enough to share with us 😉 Great project!

    Reply
  54. Linda did a great job on this calendar. Love each month, especially July:). I have the same question everyone has, instructions please and where did she get the calendar? Also, does she have a blog so we can follow her?

    Reply
  55. Mary-Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful project!! I just love coming to your blog each day to see what new and innovative ideas that you and others have come up with. Linda has done a lovely job with all of the colors and themes for each month. I especially LOVE the Sept. and Oct. designs. It would be wonderful to have the steps or dimensions for this beautiful project (as well as the steps for making the cute little calendar). Please do share my appreciation for her project.
    Thanks!!

  59. What a beautiful gift Linda sent you, Mary! Thank you so much for sharing with us. All the months are so unique, it’s hard to pick a favorite but I would choose January as I’m partial to snowmen! If Linda is sharing where she got the template for the calendar, I would love to have it.

  60. This is amazing! Count me in as one more fan who would love to know where she got that calendar. It’s hard to pick a favorite month, but March and July have an edge. PLEASE post instruction 🙂

  61. How adorable! I think my favorite month is May because of the butterfly! Such a wonderful idea and gift.

    Reply
  62. Oh, I came back to see if Linda had posted the instructions for this awesome calendar, I hope she does because I have never seen anything like it. I will be patient and just wait, thank you Mary for sharing this with us, and thank you Linda for sharing it too.

  63. The BEST Calendar Ever!! I’m not usually a fan of the calendars that are out ther because I don’t like the way most have to be used. This is not only super cute in all of the pages, but I really like the idea of the CD case for display and using it. I love the little snail in the jar for August!

    Reply
  64. This calendar is SO cute! I would love to have the Calendar template. I would be happy to pay for a tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Can’t pick a favorite month.

  65. OMGosh! This is so doggone adorable! I LOVE it!!! I have the same questions as so many others, and I know she is going to get around to reading these comments . . . Does Linda have a blog? Could we get written instructions/a tutorial on how to make the calendar? Better yet, would she be willing to make me one and sell it to me? I cannot pick a favorite month, but I especially love the January snowman and July. That is just awesome! Thank you so much for sharing, Linda and Mary!

  68. Hey, Mary. First, Thank you for sharing your talents with us, You are my Go-To site everyday. It’s hard to decide which month I like best, but April with the Bunny tails or July with the American flag. Love them all. Second, Thank you Linda for also sharing your creativity, these calendars are amazing and I would also love to have the instructions. I can see these as magnets for my 86 year old Mother’s refrigerator, and as gifts for our Stampin’ Up group projects. You are wonderful.
