Birthday Mini Calendar by Christine

Mini calendars make perfect little gifts that have the special homemade touch!  Christine Meyer's husband's family is now up to 26 people and that makes keeping track of birthdays absolutely brutal!  Her in laws are always happy to receive a new calendar with all the birthdays on it so she got a jump on this one for 2015!  And you are in for a treat!

To package the calendar Christine used a Clear Mini Box and then decorated the outside using Large and Medium Punched PiecesTake 2 Stickers by the Dozen - Birthday, and We've Got Your Border Stickers Birthday.

She made one long accordion folded style calender by adhering together 3 inch wide pieces of cardstock and doing some scoring.

Christine decorated each square with a Medium Black Punched Piece, some Black Sticker Stitches, and of course the Mini Calendar Stickers - Standard.

Her last step was to cut up pieces of the Birthday Border stickers and use the dots to highlight each birthday.  Christine color coordinated them by family too!  Brilliant!  I think I'm going to have to make some of these.  Who wouldn't love to receive such a practical, crafty, personalized gift!  Calendar perfection!
