I have once again been inspired by the wonderful work of Karen Amidon. My grade level has a holiday party every year and we play a gift exchange game. I had a pretty popular gift last year and I didn't think I would be able to top it. Then, I saw Karen's collection of calendar cards and thought to myself, "top myself, I shall!" All the cards have the 2016 3x4 calendar by Taylored Expressions. Click here to see Karen's fantastic work and scroll down to see my take on it :)
