calendar

i delayed posting this blog that i almost forgot about it.  i don’t want kse to spoil my surprise gift for rudney.  he already received his copy last year after christmas.

*~*~*~*~*

i was thinking of doing a calendar with johann’s pictures for rudney *~eventhough i don’t know when can i give it to him~*. i’ve already selected the pictures but i don’t know how to do the layout.  i started doing january layout when i saw a calendar from one of the blog that i usually read.  it was so cute so i traced where she got it.  i’m not into digiscrapping *~though i tried doing one layout using a ploppers, the one where you just put pictures on it~* and my creativeness only strikes once in a blue moon.  so to relieve myself from the burden of thinking/designing a layout for every month, i just bought the kit online.  every night since i bought it, i work on it when i got home.  i usually slept late because of this.  after i finished the jan-may layout i had it printed in photoline to see how it would look when printed.  and i was not disappointed, in fact i was so very happy with the result. 

my next problem was the stand of the calendar.  though it said in the kit that it is sized to fit the slim cd case, i can’t seem to find one.  so what i did was i made my own stand out of illustration board, sticker paper and loop rings *~i wanted sana na i-ring bind but they won’t accept the illustration board~*.  and since i also wanted to give it to family members and it was tedious to make the stand i just had it printed the size of the diskette so that i can use the diskette case as stand.

and since i was so happy with that kit i already made 3 calendars for my friends and 1 for my sister’s office mate.
