It was stamped directly onto Taylored Expressions' Calendar page. Did you know Taylored Expressions' 2010 calendar is all ready to go and available as a download for you now? So you can choose what cardstock (or patterned paper?) to print it on! You can find it here. The calendar prints out 6-inches square -- I just trimmed it down a little...
