You will create a fat and chunky "family" calendar that you can scan and print for all your family members in time for Christmas or just keep for yourself. I choose to merge my family with my husband's family. I include a photo of each family member for their birthday month and then for their anniversary as well. I then use colored pencils (which is included in this kit) to highlight the date of their birthday / anniversary. This way my family keeps up with my husband's family (and vice versa) each year. This has become a family tradition each year and when we are together during the year, you hear comments like "this photo would be great for the calendar" or "I'd better not see that photo in the calendar". So start your own tradition and come create a calendar that you can save as a scrapbook after the year is over. You'll have 12 great layouts to put into an album at the end of the year. And as always, Amy & I will have plenty of sugar to keep you going while creating.
Although the sample shows 2009, the numbers are cut for 2011.
