Artsy fartsy, nesties...I need help again
So here's where I am with the anniversary gift:
I've got my 313 reasons; I have them all pretty in a word document, 4 to a page. The spacing and font is all correct.
Soooo, now what do I do?
Re: Artsy fartsy, nesties...I need help again
Use some funky fonts from dafont.com or 1001fonts.com. You could go seriously artsy fartsy and add clip-art to each reason.
How are you approaching the calendar? Monthly, daily flip-page?

I have some cool fonts that I had leftover from my wedding. I used those. I'd love to do the clip art thing but I just don't have time.
And it's daily.
I combined the weekends.
Do you want to make it like a flip and tear calendar? With each day, and each reason on one thing? Like "The Far Side" style?
If so, I would cut out each one, mount it on construction paper (either all the same colors, or cute colors in a pattern), maybe laminate it, and then take it to office depot to bind it.
I probably won't do the flip and tear just b/c I'd like him to be able to keep it forever and ever and ever. I was thinking more of a coil type binder. But do I just leave it as 313 separate pages? Or do I attempt to print a reason on the front and back of each day?
Did that even make sense?
I saw some pre-cut postcard size paper at Wal-Mart today - similar to if you want to create your own business cards. You could print each thing on a postcard and maybe find a photo album to put them all in. Then you could include pictures throughout the album, as well.
I don't remember what size the paper was, though.
Or punch a hole or two on each page and tie them all together with ribbon, might look more personal than binding it.
Or put everything in a scrapbook.
That's all the creativity I have for today!
