Here we are at the end of February, and I am making a calendar. I know -- I'm strange. I have been wanting to create one of these calendars for a while, but I did not have the Top Notes Die. Well I finally do. I first saw this calendar on Cami's BLOG. The original tutorial is here on Nancy's BLOG.
I used Kraft cs for the frame, it's a 5-1/2" x 8 1/2" piece. On each side the solid card stock is 4" x 5-1/4", and 2" x 5-1/4". The designer paper is called Four Seasons, and it has been retired from SU for a while. The striped side of the designer paper is 3-3/4" x 5" and 1-13/16 x 4-3/16. The pattern side of the designer paper is cut with the Top Note Die. The season was stamped with alphabet stamps, cut with the Curly Tab punch, and then layered behind vanilla hardware.
Stamps: Alphabets from Hero Arts
Paper: Kraft, Night of Navy, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White, Ivory Natural
Inks: Night of Navy, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, Bravo Burgundy
Extras: Snowflake, 1/2" circle, 5 Petal, Flower (retired), Butterfly (non-SU), leaf (non-SU), and Curly Tag punches, Ice Rhinestone and SS brads, Vanilla Hardware

I hear a lot about this Top Notes Dye and I see why..it's an awesome die and very versatile.
