2009 Calendars

I have been working on this years calendars since June. I usually get the papers selected, cut and bound first. I then add the printed months to each. I have 6 regular wall size and 8 smaller ones this year. Here is a preview of some of the pages I have done so far.



This is one of the smaller calendars and I repeated this design on 4 of them with different colors.


These are faux ribbons cut from paper. They sentiment is about friends and is on the February page for "Friendship Month"


This is on my brother's calendar. I matted different cartoons from Reader's Digest for all of his pages as he is always cracking jokes.


One of the front covers. All are simple but different. This is my Dad's. He gets a smaller one as his house is in a motorhome.


This is a page using a picture cut from a magazine. I usually alternate "easy" and more "time consuming" pages within each calendar. This one has 2 hanging holes by accident and will be covered before completed.


Another February page combining friendship and chocolate for Valentines Day. I made the faux chocolate bar from paper and added foil for the inner wrapper.


Happy Birthday....I made 3 of this design with slight variations. All the peices are cut by hand. I saw an ad with something similar and decided to copy the idea.


Another february page for LOVE.


One of my Dad's pages. I used photos that I took of wildlife and flowers in my yard. each month has a different color cordinated photo.


This vase of flowers fit perfectly on my sister's calendar as hers is in the potrait format rather than the landscape as the others are. The vase is made from velum and looks like frosted glass.
