Calendar Scrapbook

When my daughter was born, a friend gave me a baby calendar for her...  I LOVED it.  I made notes on the calendar of her developmental milestone and there was a space to add a picture each month.  --But who can add just ONE picture a month?  I would trim my favorite pictures and arrange them to get as many as I could on the page for each month.

But to my dismay... it was only a 12 month calendar!  What's up with that?  It didn't even have 13 months so I could add pictures of her first birthday.  And she wasn't walking, yet, so where would I note that milestone?!  What's a mom to do?

SCRAPBOOK!

I bought a scrapbook coverset and calendar pages from my Creative Memories friend and made my own calendar!  I added milestone notes on the right page and pictures on the left.

Two years later, I did the same thing for my son.  I used a premade baby calendar for the first year and then scrapbooked his second year with calendar pages from Creative Memories. 



The calendar scrapbooks are still some of my favorite projects!!

 This year I bought this 2011 Basic Grey Calendar Kit:

I plan on making notes on it of some of the fun (or funny) things we do in 2011. Then I'll add a picture (or two, or three...) and at the end of the year I'll cut the pages out of the calendar and put them in an 8X8 album.

Happy Scrappin'!
