I love the $1 spot at Target. The black spiral was perfect for transforming this small Transformers spiral notebook into a perpetual calendar for my daughter, Kathryn. Kathryn's favorite holiday is Halloween, so I thought it would be fun to create a perpetual calendar for her.
I unrolled the spiral to remove the paper, then covered both sides of the cover...bye bye Optimus Prime! I used my crop-a-dile to re-punch the holes for the spiral; that was the most time-consuming part. After decorating with die cuts and a brad, I die cut my numbers and cut the number tags. I punched holes for the number tags and then re-fed the spiral. Voila!
Happy Friday!

Oh, I can't believe Optimus Prime died AGAIN! I remember how heartbroken my son was when it happened the first time! :)
Seriously, this is an amazing transformation. Love it!
