Better Late Than Never!

I had the best of intentions, really!

As usual, though, I have more project ideas than time. Here is the (finally completed) 2009 Basic Grey Calendar that I had planned to make as a surprise for my hubby - first for our anniversary in November, and when that didn't happen, for Christmas. I settled for making it part of his Valentine's Day present, and he was quite happy with it. The calendar was fun, quick and relatively easy to make. I liked it as soon as I saw it advertised last fall, and it literally flew off the shelves at Scrapalicious, selling right out.

It was my plan to go back and buy more after finishing the first one, and make a few for family, but I didn't work fast enough to get that far! I deviated from the sketches in a number of places, simply to make the page masculine vs. feminine, and to change the theme of the July page, since the template is American and created for a 4th of July page. I haven't seen a lot of these finished and displayed online, despite how well they sold, so I thought I would share mine so others can see the end result.

I enjoyed this project a lot. I would definitely buy this again in future years, if BG continues with them. To view this project in a larger format, click here.
