Craft {Fail} Wall Calendar

I had this whole post envisioned about a gorgeous new wall calendar for my ooogly office walls.  It was brilliant.  My coworker inspired me with a little secret aweseomness called the HP Creative Studio, which has tons of printable projects.  Even better?  A lot of them are totally free.

I printed out my calendar and it looked pretty awesome.  Especially with my heinous 2010 calendar below it. 

But it still looked a little too plain for me.  Why not throw some bells and whistles (ie ribbon and buttons) around it and call it a project?

Oh right, because you need to buy enough ribbon. 

And make sure that you can't see the staples. 

And that they don't destroy what ribbon you have.

I ended up getting frusterated and taking it down.  I'm learning to appreciate the simplicity of what I have.

Have you ever had a craft {fail}?   Please do share so I don't feel like such a loser.

**PS The HP Creative Studio is still ridiculously awesome and you should hit it up for some brilliant ideas that probably won't lead to craft {fail}s for you.  No sponsorships going down here.  Just some love for the people whose gorgeous calendar templates make me look like I'm actually creative.
