Open Blog - Pocket Calendar

Hi... Janey here and I am excited to share with you a project that I make each year for my friends and myself.  I've made them stocking stuffers too.  I have taken a calendar from the dollar bin at Michael's and repurposed it.  For some reason I remember things better when I write them down rather then just putting them in my phone or on my computer.  It came in a plastic cover which I removed to create the project and then put back on to preserve it, since it will be hanging out in my purse.  I put my checks in the back of it as well, so everything is in one place.  I have been known to take one of these calendars out to use and had people comment on them.  I've even had people ask me make one for them!  It is always a conversation piece that could even promote your business.

This may also count as the challenge for the month as well as the MemoryExpress Kit project!  I have used this month's "AMORE" February Kit.  I inked all the edges of everything even the chipboard and numbers.  I used Stickles to add to some of the pieces that didn't have bling already on them.  The ribbon, baker's twine and heart pin are fun additions to the project too.  There is a little washi tape on there too.  The calendar came together really easy and fast not to mention the idea can be created on a card or layout later on.  Give it a try for yourself.

I hope you have been inspired today and stay tuned for more inspiration coming up for our very talented MemoryWorks TeamWorks Designers!

Keep on scrappin'
