It's so hard to believe that there are only two weeks left in 2011. Two of our designers were already thinking ahead to the new year, and created two very different calendars for 2012. Either of these would also make great Christmas gifts for family and friends.
2012 Wall Calendar, by Marie-Josée Hamel.
I created last week this calendar for my husband as a Christmas gift. First, I used a word-processing software to create my own calendar. I printed the pages on 8½ x 11, non-textured white cardstock and used my Cinch binding tool to bind it. I also used my Crop-a-Dile to punch a hole in every page, since this kind of calendar is designed to be hung on the wall. That being said, you can also use a calendar that you bought off-the-shelf and alter it using Bella Blvd products. If you create your own calendar, do not forget to add a cover page, since you'll use the back for the month of January. Essentially, all you have to do is create an 8½ x 11 layout for each month.
Supplies:
January to September: miscellaneous Bella Blvd collections, old and new
October: Too Cute to Spook: Jacks-a-Glow; Cob Webs; Quadrants; Cute Cuts; Itsy Bitsy Spider
November: Winter Wonder: Blizzard; Just Write Journaling Stickers; Alpha + Bits
December: Christmas Wishes: North Pole; Cute Cuts; Quadrants; Gifts Galore; Just Write Journaling Stickers
Altered Wooden Perpetual Calendar, by Beth Gerlach.
I sometimes find treasures at thrift stores, because I like to shop there and see what I can find and alter. I found this wooden calendar at the thrift store next to my scrapbook store, took it home, cleaned it up, and covered it with several different Bella Blvd collections. For the different seasons, I used Winter Wonder for winter, Spring Flings for spring, Sunny Happy Skies for summer and Finally Fall for fall. It's so much fun to see what you can create out of a 75 cent item at a thrift store.
I used various green patterned papers for the base of the calendar and cubes and the months.
