February Calendar Workshop


FEBRUARY 2010
Here is my next two-page spread for 2010. I am so excited that I'm going to have 24 pages (at least) done for 2010 by the end of the year! What I like about this month's layout is that it is "Valentine-y" without screaming it -- it's subtle.

Details:
1. The paper on the left is from the Primary Christmas paper pack (really).
2. Use a paper-saving technique to cut a hole out of the paper hidden under the calendar (ask me and I will give you more info on this technique).
3. Use the LoveStruck punch to make the border on the right page. Start by punching the middle of that edge and go out from there so it's even. Three punches will do a 12" border.
4. Cut two 3/4" x 6" or longer strips from the paper-saved piece to back the holes cut by the LoveStruck punch.
5. Print a poem, quote, phrase, journaling, etc. on white cardstock. Cut into strips.
6. Cut 1/4" strips of the paper-saved piece to "underline" the strips of white cardstock.
7. Cut 1/4" strips of black scraps of cardstock the same length and width of your calendar and adhere them to the lower right side of the calendar, crossing them slightly at the corner.
Simple and lots of room for photos!
Scrappily Ever After,
