Mixed Labels Easel Calendar with sticky note pocket and pen holder

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  I hope you find today's 3D project useful.  I've used new product just released today by Stampin' Up! today.  I was inspired by other demonstrators who had made easel cards but couldn't quite make their designs work for me, so I took a couple different ones, added my own dimensions and my own design for the pen pocket, along with some help from my friend Tracy and came up with this design I'm very happy with.  My original prototypes were too front heavy and wouldn't stand up.  This one works perfectly and doesn't fall forward.  It's not really very difficult and I've provided some tips and tricks in the video, so be sure to watch how I've put this together.  The replay is over on my YouTube channel.
