Year of the Dragon Calendars

Now here's a grrreat surprise I got in the mail and finally got around to posting it to share with you all. I got this from my fabulous and creative friend Gene L. This calendar is 5-3/4" x 8-1/2" and has a magnetic back. I absolutely love the gold frame detail and I mean detail............yikes!!! It is a Cherry Lynn flat steel rule die and cuts so beautifully. The detailed dragon is also a Cherry Lyn flat steel rule die, too. I tell ya, I don't even know how she ever adhered this detailed dragon to the card stock - goodness!!!!

Want to see this dragon up close?

Even the calendar part is very clever: it is from the Sizzix Architectural Accents Die set. She cut four of them and put them together to make the frame..........cool and very clever!
Well, not only did I receive one fabulous calendar, I got another one in the same package. This is one is so cute: it is an easel style but what is so dainty is the randomly scattered cherry blossoms. The frame is detailed with gold edging. This octagonal frame is possibly a Spellbinders Nestibility. This calendar size is 3-3/4" x 3-3/4"

The easel reveals a ornate Dragon embossed in black on gold card stock.
Hmmm..which one do I like best? I can't decide - I love both!!!!! Thank you so much much Gene for thinking of me! Blog friends are the very BEST!!!!
