A Calendar A Day... {Michelle Brusegaard}


Michelle Brusegaard {2009 Desktop Calendar}


"It's a 2009 desktop calendar with a bunch of my illustrations! What's a desktop calendar, you might ask? Well, it's a calendar contained in a cd-type case (made specially for this purpose). Each month is a card that fits into the case. The case flips open and becomes a display/easel of sorts. It's genius! And it will make your cube look awesome. Each month measures about 4.65 x 5.4 inches and is printed on luxe white card stock, which is a lightly textured partially cotton italian paper. Pretty!"
