Day 237: Calendars

I am still adding photos to the blank calendars I purchased from Current Catalog.

Leftover school and birthday photos + leftover scrapbook paper = great grandparent gifts!!

Day 238: Dates to Remember Calendar

Since the calendars I purchased from Current Catalog were completely blank, I decided to write all of the family birthdays and anniversaries in the calendars.  This way, the grandparents can keep the calendar and use it from year to year to remember all those special dates. I added all the dates to the calendars tonight and   added card stock from Stampin' Up! to the front and back covers of the calendars.

Day 236: Calendars with Old Photos

I am still working on the calendars for my kids' grandparents.  I am using blank calendars purchased from Current Catalog, scrap papers from my stash, and the kids' leftover school and birthday photos to create calendars for Christmas gifts. Each one is different because I didn't always have three of the same photos to put one in each calendar. I just started using their baby pictures in January and the kids gradually get older each month.  I think the grandparents will have fun seeing the kids "grow" from month to month in this calendar!

Day 234: Calendars for Christmas: Green Gifts

I bought some blank calendars from Current Catalog a few years ago with the idea to make photo calendars as gifts for my kids' grandparents, but I never got around to it until now.  I have lots of extra photos left over from the kids' birthdays and extra school photos that I am using. I am using strips of scrap paper behind the photos to add color to the calendar pages. I can use up excess photos and paper scraps to make gifts!  How great is that!
