Who doesn't like a calendar for Christmas I have two different ones to share today the first is just the perfect size for sticking in your purse. It is the checkbook style calendar that you can get at the dollar store, Joann's, Micheal's or Target. They only cost a Dollar but you can take the cover off and make a new one. It makes them look so much nicer and fun to show off. Just take out the old cover and use it as a template to make the new one. The color choices and decoration choices are endless. Look at your homemade cards for inspiration. I tore a homemade card apart to make the purple calendar. It is a great way to reuse a card. Use your favorite photo as inspiration I love the photo of my daughter and the dog.
The second is this year at a glance Calendar. I took a family photo and with the use of a photo editing program turned it into a Year at a glance Calendar it was so easy. This is the family photo from our yearly retreat. I am going to print them out as a 5x7 and give them to the whole family. This photo was taken by my very talented Sister in Law Debby. And what a great deal I can print them at costco for $.29 that is less than the cost of a stamp. They should fit i n a 5x7 card. You can stick a strip of magnet to the back so it can hang on the fridge.
I opened up the photo in photoshop Elements. Then put the year at a glance overlay on it and I was done almost that fast. Here is a link to a free overlay.
If you don't do digital scrapbooking and you still want a year at a glance calendar of your own family leave a comment and I will draw a winner that can email me a photo and I will do all the work and email it back to you as a year at a glance calendar. I will post the winner with my third day post. See you then. Jill
