Scrapbook Calendar Flip Through (Mom LOVED It!)

Hi friends! Today I am going to share a flip through of the scrapbook calendar I make my parents for Christmas.

This would also be a thoughtful gift to make for a new parent, you can decorate too, just leave out the photos so a parent can add them! That way a new mom and dad can effortlessly record baby milestones and doctor visits (height/wright etc.) and paste in photos and they have a complete baby book at the end of the year. That’s actually How I prescrapped my twins baby books before they were born and it worked great, otherwise they wouldn’t have a baby book LOL!

Details:

• I print my calendar pages on cardstock at home using this free website

• I use a comb binding machine to bind my pages. The machine I have is old and discontinued but this is cute and cheap. I like this because the binding combs are standard, easy to find, come in lots of colors, and are inexpensive

• You can also use a crop-a-dial to punch through multiple pages at once (as shown in the video) if you have one (PS this is one of my most used tools!)

• I have a couple of tutorials o paste scrapbook calendars here and here.

Why wait, you can print out next years calendar and get a head start! Maybe decorate the pages month by month as the events happen and at the end of the year you have a beautiful memory! Another thought is that you can take the comb binding off and put the pages in a standard office supply binder and have a scrapbook, you could put several years in one! I hope you like this idea and give it a try. Happy crafting!
