Why not start by transforming one of these pocket calendars into something fabulous!
You can find these just about anywhere for under $1 or maybe you even got one in your stocking at the holidays. Whatever the case may be, I will show you a really quick way to take this calendar from “ordinary” to something spectacular!You will want to start with one of the P K Glitz Art Acetates. I chose this Cardinal pattern.
I followed the instructions for the Glitter on Acetate Technique found on the Instruction page of the P K Glitz website. Once my piece was dry, I embossed a message onto my cardstock and adhered the Cardinal to my cardstock using 3-D Crystal Lacquer.
Slip your piece into the plastic cover and replace the calendar. If you do not carry a pocket calendar with you, replace it with your checkbook.
These also make great birthday gifts or for any occasion.Supplies:
Glitter: Spring Green, Chartreuse, Meadow, Tudor Rose, China Red, Crimson, White Orchid, Honeycomb (P K Glitz)
Embossing Powder: Black Detail (P K Glitz)
Emboss It Reinker (Ranger)
Stamp (Endless Creations)

Thank you so much for linking up to "A Little Birdie Told Me...". What an incredible transformation from humble and generic to unique, special and fabulous! I love your glitter -- it has more depth and sparkle than any other product on the market! I've enjoyed using it on my own projects, and look forward to trying the art acetates! I hope you'll continue to share your wonderful creations on Tuesdays at Rook No. 17. Best, Jenn
