It will also be a "test" for feedback on the possibility of starting a small business making cards and personalized calendars. Please scroll down or visit the archives to view photos.

Calendar fronts



A new design for the 2012 calendars! I always try to come up with something different and creative that doesn't take too much time. The cover only gets looked at when you receive it and then it gets hung on the wall or where ever. I came up with the idea to use the #1 in 2012 to write in the names of the recipients. This first one is a close up of one of the names formed in the shape of the "1"



This one was one of the toughest! There was a lot of letters to fit into the space...Chris 'n Rosie....I didn't use the last name (Miller) because I made another for my sister, their Mom, and didn't want duplicates.


i am making 12 calendars this year so that means 144 pages!!! On last count I have 83 "done". I say done with quotations because i will still need to go back and add finishing touches like poems, embelishments, etc. The main idea is done. I will get shots of some pages soon and add them here.
