calendar tutorial for {you}

by Tina on July 12, 2009

So many of you have been asking about the calendar project I have been working on over these last few months that I thought it would be fun to do a little video tutorial.

Here is my August calendar page featuring PaperTrey Ink products!

Enjoy!

Several of the products I use in the video are by Creative Memories and are no longer for sale. You can check out ebay or for a similar cutting tool check out this rotary cutter by fiskars. Here is a list of the other products used:

PaperTrey Ink: 2008 Bitty Dot Basics, Try Before you buy, Guidelines, Birds of a Feather, Polka Dot basics, Background Basics: Retro

Creative Memories: Cutting tools, Square punch, sticker alpha

American Crafts:Thickers

Stamp Craft: Alpha and numeral stamp

3 Lorena July 12, 2009 at 4:56 pm: Tina, this is amazing! Love each and everyone of the day-inchies, the whole design indeed, and the fact that you then keep it as a scrapbook LO.
Thanks SO much for the tutorial. *need a square punch now*

5 Sam July 12, 2009 at 9:30 pm: Thanks for the great tutorial Tina. I love the idea of decorating a page like this to put in my album.

Sam.

PS. Loved the music…I was bopping here while we were watching and waiting for you to ‘come back’!!!!!!!
6 Bonnie July 12, 2009 at 9:55 pm: This video was amazing !! I loved it. And you’ve given me a great idea for ways to use up my scraps !!
7 Winter July 12, 2009 at 9:56 pm: Great video! I always love your calendar pages, I make other people calendars, but never myself, I think I need to! I love the idea of making it into a album page. I was thinking that if you didn’t want to write on it, you could put it in a page protector or something similar and write on the plastic, then you won’t mess it up! Anyway, I’m ready to make a calendar!

I love those PTI samples too that you can print out.
