Framed 2014 Calendar


Christmas will soon be here!  I know it's only the beginning of September.  But I couldn't wait to share this project.  I love having a calendar and have several in my kitchen.  I wanted to have a mini one for my counter top.  My main reason for this project was to make some to give as Christmas gifts this year. I have learned over the year's that the best time to put together a gift is not during the month of December.  In the early fall I have more time to plan and design something for Christmas.

I began with with an unfinished wood frame.  Once the frames were painted.  I used a calendar file that my sister generously loaned to me that she had designed in Heritage Collector Storybook. The tutorial for the calendar can be found on her blog.  http://heritagecollectorstorybook.blogspot.com/ The finished dimensions turned out to by 3x4 for mini calendar when cut out.  It fit great for this mini curved frame.  I attached the print with double sided tape to each of the 12 pages.  I will post more pictures soon of how I put together this project!

Wishing you a wonderful day with a great thought!
