Gift Idea #8:  Birthday Calendar

Do you often forget a family member or friends birthday?  I know I do and I’m aways trying to scramble at the last minute for the gift!!!  You can make this fun, quick & easy, not to mention adorable, birthday calendar to help you keep track all year long so you don’t forget :o)

you will need:

1. •1/2 sheet of chipboard (fairly thin to fold in half)
   

2. •printed calendar from amuseartstamps.com
   

3. •patterned paper to embellish and carstock
   

All you need to do is print the calendar from the website onto smooth white cardstock.  Cut down to size and layer onto solid colored cardstock or patterned paper.  Your chipboard should be about 6x12 in size and should be thin enough to fold in half but yet sturdy enough to use as the cover.  Do your pages the same size, 6x12 and stack them and make the fold together.  You can bind with a strong stapler or just use ribbon/twine through the center.  Just decorate as desired and you’re done.  What a nice gift to give with family birthdays already listed!!
