~*~ 5 Days of Gifts ~*~ Scrapbooked Calendar

This is IT!  This is the big gift that I make each year for my family (and myself)!!!!!

For the last two years, I've created traditionally scrapbooked 12x12 calendars for my parents, my in-laws and myself.  This year I switched over to using Studio J layouts and I LOOOOOOVE the outcome!  The pages are all so sharp looking, they are fully embellished and the calendar is super thin and light!  Woohooo!

All of my calendar layouts from Studio J have been posted already, but here is the final product:



Sorry for the dark pics, its been raining for 4 straight days here....

As a Studio J member, I was able to print out my layouts (2-pagers) for $6.50 (then I got my consultant discount on top of that!).  Then I got the JPEG images for free, and I printed 2 more copies of each calendar page at costco for $2.99.  So for $36, I had 12 layouts and the Calendar was another $7.95.  Pretty nice gift for under $50!  PLUS they will have scrapbooked layouts of their grandkids to keep FOREVER!!!!!
Last year, I gave them an album with protectors to put the calendar pages from the year before in, and this year I'm giving them more page protectors to add the 2010 pages. 

Try STUDIO J here today!  Get started EARLY on your 2012 calendars ;)

Thanks for joining me for 5 Days of Gifts!  I hope I've inspired you to make something!  If not for this year, for next year :)

Your calendars are terrific! And what a thoughtful idea to give them an album to put the pages in for a keepsake! This is definitely something I am going to look at doing for next year! Thanks for sharing. :)

CTMH- Everything ABC's Blog Hop- E is for Easter

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter E. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their E element will be featured in their post. If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start at the beginning at Amber's blog ~ Scrapper's Therapy  If you came from Shelly ~ Just One Piece then you're on the right track! E is for EASTER You may recall a few months ago, I posted a couple layouts from the baby album I am making for my niece.... well she's now 3 months old and I only finished through 4 months!  I have some work to do..... Today I created an Easter Layout using THIS layout as my inspiration.  The Chantilly paper pack is perfectly girly and springy!  I cut two strips of the green pattern, then sliced it up to make it look like grass.  Using Art Philosophy, I cut out a bunch of different eggs in 1 1/2", 1 3/4" and ...
