Today I want to share a simple desk calendar I made. Well it looks simple. And I guess the next one would be simple to make - if there ever was a next one!
It took ages, because I had to figure out all the templates and then make all the calendar templates too. That is what took so long.
Making the pages was the easy bit.
The stand was simply very thick card - more like chipboard. It was folded to make a M or W, depending on which way you view it.
I had to make joins, but you don't see them when it is finished.
The whole thing is then bound together - you could use book rings but I used the Bind It All.
The pages are all photos from 2011 from the right month witht he exception of November (it was just too good a picture to miss) and december as they were both taken in December 2010.
That's probably enough photo overload for today - I will post some more another day, but you get the idea. And yes, it would have been far quicker to have had one printed at Photobox .... but not as satisfying as I am a tenacious little madam when I want to be LOL
Today I am thankful for
- a finished project
Fabulous calendar!! Who is the lucky recipient? Or is it for your desk at work?
