How to Make a Scrapbook Calendar

Making a scrapbook calendar is a great project that you can share with your

children. They will also make wonderful presents for friends and family around

Christmas time as a new year will be only a few days after.

Traditionally when you think of a yearly calendar the following four types of

calendars come to mind:

Wall hanging calendar
Pocket sized calendar
Fridge or magnetic calendar
Desktop calendar or rolodex


You can purchase any of these items at a small price from your local dollar

store and alter them to create a handmade calendar with just a few scrapbook

supplies, a photograph, and a little creative energy. You can cover a wall

calendar with a scrapbook inspired layout; Turn a small mini album into a pocket

calendar; Print a pocket calendar onto your favourite family photo to keep in

your wallet or to stick to your fridge.

If you would prefer to make your own calendar from your own scrapbooking and

craft supplies then you can use one the many printable calendar templates,

freely available on the internet. Simply search for one that you like, print it

directly onto your scrapbook card stock and decorate with photos and

embellishments.

However you choose to make your calendar make sure that you have fun with it.

Highlight any special birthday dates and anniversaries. If you are planning to

create a page per month then use a holiday or special day as a theme for

decorating that page. Valentines Day for February, Christmas for December, and

so on.

You will enjoy creating this great project idea that is both functional and

beautiful and that will also make a wonderful gift.
