On our last day of Calendar Week, we are going to look at a few examples from the write.click.scrapbook team of how calendars can be used on scrapbook pages.
Design Elements
First, calendars can be used as small accents; while serving the purpose of documenting time, they can also serve as an embellishment on your page, matching the theme of your layout.
In this page by Jenny, in addition to indicating the time of the year this photo was taken, the calendar serves to ground the felt tree elements and draws the eye to the title.
Laura used a small calendar for her layering on this page. Simple and effective!
Backgrounds
Calendar backgrounds are perfect to document daily schedules, or favorite times of the year.
Laura used a calendar grid paper in the background, and the stamping and title work let us know exactly what this page is about.
Jenny used this grid calendar background to really ground the design of this page.
Page Design
Finally, you can use calendars as the inspiration for your entire design!
I love how the design ofthis page by Jenny is inspired from a calendar. She included a grid for the photos, and the daily schedule is documented at the bottom of the page.
On this page, I wanted to document the special time we spent when my mom came to visit, so I selected a few favorite photos from the ones I had included in my Project Life album, and used a template by Amy Martin for this calendar grid design. The kit Dayplanner by Paislee Press and One Little Bird was perfect for the theme of my page - so many memories, so little time..
I hope you enjoyed this Calendar Week.. now to put the inspiration in practice on your projects!
