Hello hoppers!! Welcome to the first blog hop of 2013 for the amazing Pumpkin Spice Blog.
Challenge: New Years! Make something that makes you think of New Years! Be creative and have fun!
For this challenge I created a 2013 Pocket Calender.
I am SUPER particular when it comes to calendars. I mean super!! I have bought and thrown out so many over the years cause they didn't work right. Weird huh. So this year I made my own.
I created the calendar layouts on a Word document. Then I printed them on white cardstock. The best thing is I made them fit perfectly on a 6x6 piece of paper. I used some chipboard for the covers to give it some strength. Then I covered that with cardstock as well. I bound it all together using my Cinch.
I used washi tape and come banner stickers for the front cover.
Of course I have a pen Velcro-ed on the inside.
Plenty of room to write in each square.
See my cute little twine bookmark.
Gotta love the paper too!

ReplyDeleteLove your calendar, Carissa! Yours is more functional than mine. The papers are great! ~hugs, Saundra :)
ReplyDeleteWowzer this is fantastic
ReplyDeleteAwesome project!!! What a fun idea - I should try that sometime too...I am a little picky about calendars too! The worst was on New Years this year, I opened up a new calendar that I had gotten a couple weeks before (on sale for a few dollars off) and couldn't figure out why the dates weren't matching up right. Then I noticed that it was a 2012 calendar!!! I hadn't even noticed! Grrr...why would someone sell one for almost regular price at the end of the year?!?!? I will pay attention better now though!
