I took some corrugated packaging and tore the edges, added a bit of green paint to it, laid that on top of some Fall paper, the leaf and the corner leaves are stickers and the sentiment die came with my order from My favorite things, cut out the calendar sponged on the ink, highlighted his birthday and tied it all up with twine.

Good save, Connie! I think you could do a similar card for each month! I like the corrugated paper and the accent leaves too. Great job!
Oh, Connie, how thrifty and such a wonderful card for your nephew. I love the calendar and lovely corrugated paper! Wonderfully done, sweet friend! Yes, definitely a good save! Hugs!
I love this idea! When you have so many nephews to make cards for you have to grab anything you can. This is great, Connie!
What a nice masculine card. I love that you saved the calendar. It looks terrific and is such a unique idea. The corregated cardboard adds to the masculinity.
Always fun to recycle things on cards -- love the corrugated cardboard you included on this lovely fall scene.
Connie, that Is so smart of you! Love the torn corrugated edges and the leaf & calendar. Very nice!
i have a box connie, filled with small calendars they give away at the drug store - i save them for scrapbooking and card making. i have far too many that i haven't used and this is such a great idea, you have inspired me!!
Hi Connie!
This was a perfect use for the calendar & everything comes together so well!
Have a happy week!
Oh what a cool and unique idea. I love how it personalizes the birthday, so clever! This is a pretty card, love the colors!
You're so good on making male cards, I find those to be so hard to make, well done you! xx
A fabulous male card, I love all the different textures you have used. A clever bit of re-cycling too!
What a great masculine card Connie. Love the earth tones, the corrugated piece... the postage stamp looks fantastic!
Doesn't this look good ...
All the best Jan
