Nine weeks til Christmas...

And I've just about finished most of my preparations. I've made a few calendars to give as gifts this year.  Great way to use up patterned paper!  I have a perpetual calendar generator that works with Photoshop Elements and that's what I used to create the mini calendar blocks. Nice thing is it produces calendars in a variety of languages, so I was able to make this calendar for one of my German speaking cousins in Vienna:

And this one for a local friend:

Supplies Other - SU patterned paper,  cd calendar cases

His and hers

Here are a couple more calendars I plan to give as Christmas gifts.  Again, these use patterned paper and came together really quickly:

And here is one of the pages:

More calendars

Can you bear to look at a few more calendars?  I've had a wonderful time using up stacks of patterned paper and churning out calendar pages with my cricut and photoshop elements.  This is one of my favourites and features Basic Grey's Curio Collection:

Calendar basics

I've been making some calendars with PTI's Calendar Basics stamp set. Thought it was a nice idea for a Christmas gift, and makes a change from all the notebooks I've been churning out recently!  I've made most of them using patterned paper which makes it really quick and easy.

I use PTI's cd calendar cases and created wrap-around covers like Nichole Heady showed here (just scroll down a bit through her post):

I've used Anna Forrest's great script for PhotoShop Elements which lets you generate mini calendar pages in a variety of languages.   Here is one in German for one of my cousins in Vienna:
