Good Morning All
I wanted to show you this tiny Date Book I made.
It came about because I was using a cereal box to make a Family Scrap Book following a tutorial of Dawns Inspirations on You Tube HERE
This is a link to just one of her tutorials, she has loads on there and they are great.
Anyway, my cereal box was quite a large one and I cut it down to 8.5" high there was this piece left of about 3" square.
I couldn,t throw it so I made a mini date book.
I made 10 pockets from odd scraps of thin card, and used the inside covers so that I had 1 place for each of the 12 months.
Used a circle punch to cut a lip from sides to make it easier to get each month out.
I used a spreadsheet on my computer to make a line for each months with dates.
Printed it into long strips then I could fold then up to slot into each page in book.
So this can be used to write down birthdays and anniversaries or any special dates to remember.
Those dates what you need to make a card for !!!!
Check out each month in advance then you are prepared.
Quite pleased with how this one turned out.
I will show the family scrap book on a future post, I have made it and inserted all the pages with lots of places for photos.
There are lots of pages so I may only show them when I have completed with photos.
It will all be of the Grandkids.
The inside cover is nearly completed, just need one photo of Noah on his first day with his day, as this is my first page -
Each grandchild with their Dad on their first day of life.

Wendy this is a brilliant idea especially how the date book is made from a cereal box. Totally love the blue glittery paper you have used & the ribbon really adds that special touch. I think I might have to add it to my to-do list :) Thank you for leaving your comment over at my blog & I really hope that you will join me with getting some of your un-finished projects (albums) done. We would love for you to share them with us over at Dreamtime Craft Supplies blog. Hope to see you there. Have a fantastic day.
Happy crafting

Hey Wendy, clever project. I really like it..I have a shop bought version of this, but I like your's better..might have to give it a go. Cx

Hi Wendy
Fabulous way to use scraps. The pockets remind me of CD/DVD sleeves so you could use one to store CDs with photos or videos on them too.
