The great thing about these calendars they created were the colorful covers. They were made from old Readers Digest Books. I was lucky enough to run a cross a box of books, the first weekend I was back, at an estate sale. Of course I picked them up.
As you can see the covers are beautiful. I modified my design a bit for expense reasons, and I didn't want to be a complete copy cat. I am making mine as organizers.
there are pages for Notes, Thoughts, Goals and even special pages to organize the holidays, with hand stamps for color. I also attached a key as a bookmark.
Their book had color photo's and calendar on high quality glossy paper. Mine is not quite so sophisticated, and I used jute instead of metal rings. I'm liking the result though, and I've already sold 2 at my booth.
The one I made for myself has a few added features. A string and button closure and a label holder.
Thanks Jane and Friends for the inspiration. This is a great project.
What is the next project you ask? We'll you've already seen a picture of it.
