Are you looking for a few gift, holiday decor, or craft ideas? Well you've come to the right place. For the next 12 days we will be featuring a new project each day for our '12 Days of Christmas' special. We are starting off the festivities with a fabulous project from Design Team Member Celeste Smith. You may remember that she created a similar calendar for you last year. She updated the PDF calendar for 2010. This is a great teacher's gift or stocking stuffer!
Here is Celeste's CD Case Calendar sample...

From Celeste:
Last year, I shared a calendar template with you as a quick Christmas gift. Some of our KI fans asked if we'd be posting an updated calendar. So here it is! Enjoy!
Quick Directions...
- Print out the PDF of months and crop the pages using the crop marks.
- Add bits of patterned paper, rub-ons and/or photos to the top. Try to keep it as flat as possible or the months won't all fit in the case.
- To make the calendar base, start out by placing the CD case on your table with the hinge on the left. Open it up and pull out the insert that would normally hold the CD. Very gently take the top off by pulling it apart at the hinge. Now flip over the bottom part that is resting on the table, and re-attach the top to the bottom. I jsut used some old cases we had lying around, but you can purchase empty cases if you need to.
This year I decided to use small photos on top of the calendar. Each month will have a little title on the photo that goes with the month. For instance, February will be "Be Mine" and March will say "Lucky You." You could also use this template digitally. PDFs will open in Adobe Photoshop and you could use a KI Digi kit to create your calendar then print onto photo paper.
Have fun and share if you make one!
