Birthday Reminder Clipboard

Jun42010 posted by 25 Comments

today’s idea: birthday reminder clipboard
 

what you need:
*  clipboard (we used the letter size hardboard ones)
*  12 month birthday reminder pages (click on each link for download)
      Download Januarybdaycal
      Download Februarybdaycal
      Download Marchbdaycal
      Download Aprilbdaycal
      Download Maybdaycal
      Download Junebdaycal
      Download Julybdaycal
      Download Augustbdaycal
      Download Septemberbdaycal
      Download Octoberbdaycal
      Download Novemberbdaycal
      Download Decemberbdaycal
*  patterned paper or paper from a digital kit

(optional)
*  spray paint or acrylic paint
*  painter’s tape
*  black ink pad
*  black cardstock

step one: decide if you want to decorate your clipboard or leave it plain. i used one that i had already painted with black acrylic paint. jodie spray painted hers. so, first she covered the metal part with painter’s tape.

step two: pick out your papers. jodie used the american crafts, blue skies + abode papers. 

i used the sweet summertime digital kit from jessicasprague.com. (i opened a 12×18 document in photoshop elements and placed strips of the digital papers on it. then had the sheet printed off at costco.)
step three: cut your patterned paper into 1 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ strips. 
step four: ink your strips of paper or back them with black 1 3/4″ x 8 1/2″ strips of cardstock. adhere them onto your birthday reminder pages.

step five: fill in each month with all of those important birthdays. and you’re all finished!!

  4. Love this! Sooo cute & EASY! You'll never forget–back in the day my grandma had a calendar she hung on the office doorknob that was very similar. Always thought it was such a great idea!

    Oh and thanks for the Costco printing tip!!

  11. Love it! Take it one step further…? Laminate each month and use a dry erase marker to update as the years roll on.

    Thanks for the great idea!

  16. Love this project! Any chance you would want to re-post the calendar pages to scribd. They are in the archives and it wants you to pay for a membership to download them.
