Instructions: Make each month’s title block first, adhering with permanent adhesive. Add dates, birthdays, etc. to your calendar specific to your family. Hint: If you adhere everything on your calendar (except the title) with temporary adhesive, it’s very easy to move things around as you fill out each calendar. Add tags for holidays. Cut small journaling blocks (just under 1 ½”x1 ½”) and run them through a small Xyron machine with repositionable adhesive. (You can put these on special dates, or just keep a stash of them to add later as you go through the calendar year). For detailed instructions for each months titleClick Here Techniques (optional): Every tag added to each page has an eyelet with a ribbon tied through it to add dimension. To make this page more of a “journal” than a planning calendar, use it to add fun bits of info, tiny photos, etc. from things you did during the month. You can easily add small pictures and tags for birthdays, holidays, etc. as shown – or just jot down bits of info. Use each calendar page as part of a 2-page layout, or as dividers in your scrapbook…or add a large focal photo to a blank area on each page and use them as stand-alone layouts! You can use each of the calendar pages as perpetual calendars – don’t add dates or months and frame in a 12x12 frame. You can write on the glass with an erasable marker and erase it for the next month.
