Calendar Project: Part 1

I set several crafting goals for myself this summer:
* complete unfinished projects 
* use more of my (neglected) supplies
* create projects other than cards
* begin work on my scrap booking projects

While cleaning my craft room this summer I found two Close To My Heart Event Calendars on the top shelf of the closet. I bought them years ago and had totally forgotten about them. This was the perfect project to meet several goals. I decided to complete both of the calendars - one for myself and one to give as a gift to a family member.

  
The calendar is made up of 12 pages and can be used year after year. You can record birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates for each month.
A blank square at the top of each page is ready for stamping or creating a decorative panel to represent the various months.

I designed additional panels to fit across the bottom of each page in order to cover the Close To My Heart logo and complement the main design panel at the top

Part 1: January - June

Two stacks of monthly panels, ready to adhere to the calendar pages:
