I started with January using the Ace, then each month follows ... February is 2, March is 3 ... Nov is the Jack and December is the Queen (or King!)

Cut a piece of cardstock or printed paper for the background added the playing card, the mini-calendar printout and a decoration for each month. I've got photos of several months. There is a magnet on the back of the clipboard so it can be put on the fridge or you can hang it by the clip.

I think it's fun. And it uses stuff I have readily at home!

Supplies Used:

* mini clipboard

* playing cards

* cardstock & printed papers (various)

* mini calendar print-out

* various embellishments for each month

The funny thing is that I ended up looking in the basement in our pile of garage sale stuff and found it there! My trash became my treasure! LOL It was a file that we used for mail and I turned into a place to put my pictures to be scrapped
