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?

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • You can leave off the "tear part" and just do the binder type thing, you can get that done at office depot. I wouldn't do front and back, I would probably do individual ones, it would be easier to see and read each one.

  • 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! Smile
