Monthly Scrapbook Calendar Pages

Hi there!! Today I have this project featured over at She's a Sassy Lady ! You can read the "book" that I wrote about this project by visiting her site! :-) Suffice it to say that I believe that our everyday moments are just as important as the big events so they should be celebrated too! I simply hang each month's calendar page on my fridge and write all of our comings and goings on it. At the end of the month, I put it in our family scrapbook and put all the pictures from that month in the album behind it. I've been using this "system" for years now and it really helps me stay on top of our pictures since we take so many! Even if I don't get the pictures in my album right away, I have them sorted by the month so I can easily scrap them when I have the time! All of these pages are, obviously, 12x12 and I have used a Creative Memories calendar grid. I have used various cricut cartridges for the die cuts and have those detailed under each picture. I hope this inspires you to celebrate and remember all of the everyday moments in your lives!

This is my current page that is on my fridge right now.

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the front of the ca

Think Spring Blog Hop

Welcome to the THINK SPRING BLOG HOP!! You should have arrived here from the amazingly talented Crafty Baskets ! If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at Creations With Kathryn . She is our wonderful host for this hop! On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX. What is more telling of Spring than flowers?! I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack. (I think this stack was from last year or maybe even the year before! :-) I'm just finally using it! ) The paper flowers throughout are from the 3 Birds Pretty Petals collection. Read to the end of this post to find the link for the next blog to hop to and for my blog candy! This is a pic of an open page. Now for my blog candy!!
