The new year is nearly upon us, and I wanted to create a calendar album for our last class installment of this year. Because time is short, and I wanted to be as creative as possible, rather than use typicaly calendars, I used monthly Bingo cards.You can also download calendars from our digital shopping section or create your own to make this album.

I also selected photos that convey either the monthly holiday or simply remind me of special memories that occur in that month. I measured and printed my photos based on the size of my Bingo cards. You will need to do the same with your printed calendars.

I used a variety of thematic embellishments to decorate the Bingo cards. Here's where I recommend shopping your personal stash and using up that extra sticker or die cut you've been holding on to. Have fun! This album took me only a few hours to create and would be very easy to mass produce, as long as you remember to just let go and be creative in the embellishing.

Challenge: Create a calendar album and upload it to the gallery. Be sure to mark the correct challenge box. All entries are due by January 20th.

For additional instructions and photos, be sure to download the pdf here.And watch this helpful video on how I created this album.

I will link you to a variety of thematic embellishments to help you complete this album, as well as, calendar and album ideas.
