Make a Scrapbook Calendar

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

my own calendar i made.You can purchase any of these items cheap from a 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.
