JIMBO JAMBO DESIGNS

as you could see already on facebook I have made a calendar for my cousin.

Some people say it's too late for presents. Maybe for Christmas it's a bit late but few years ago I made a calendar in January - starting from February and the person who received it loved it!! I mean sometimes we just want to give some gifts without any ocasion. I think calendars are perfect for it.

I wanted to show you some examples of how it looked in jpeg and then few pages in reality and the whole construction.

I used this calendar and some kits from Anita Designs and Creashens - more info here

I made months and numbers smaller - changed it in photoshop to 80% as I prefered to add more elements on both sides:

and now the part where you can see how it was made:
In each page I have added a small white line so that the photo can be see well.

This part is still not glued so it's easier to travel with it :)

I pasted a part of two sides tape at the end

closer look

It's really easy to find this kind of paper in any shops for painters etc. I cut all the lines with:

If you are not sure if you can make it your own you can always go to the agency with printed pictures and ask them to make the rest for you (explaining well what you wnat to get) and it's really cheap!

I hope I helped you and that you will try to make it on your own! Let me know if you have any questions!

I think I should explain something before writing about calendars.

Last year I released calendars under Jimbo Jambo Designs name but this year I decided to separate photographic resources from the scrabooking and that is why I created Creative Lenses Studio. Of course it's me and only me under both names.

This year the new calendars are released under Creative Lenses Studio at Digiscrappers Brasil and Scrapflower.

Today I have released the Sunday - Saturday version of the calendars which is 20% off during the weekend

and

but there are more available:

in English (Mon - Sun version) - next week will release the Sun - Sat version

in French

in German

in Portuguese (Mon - Sun version)

here are some inspirations I made with the calendars so you see what you can do with them:
