Calendar-Inspired Year-in-Review Album
Look back on the past year with a scrapbook album that utilizes printed calendar pages. Make one now for last year, or start a new one to keep track of events and photos as they happen this year.

Create a Calendar-Style Year-In-Review Album
Design by Irma Gabbard
To make quick work of creating an album at the end of the year, start at the beginning. On a calendar, document the events -- from the mundane to the life-changing -- as they happen. When it comes time to compile your year-in-review, refer to your calendar to jump-start your pages. Even better, organize your photos and finish spreads throughout the year while your memories are still fresh. Your album will be a breeze to complete.

Wow I really love this one.. There will no more clutter of calendars scattered around the house. I am really glad i signed up for this one
1/27/2010 12:03:16 PM Report AbuseI have actually done a similar album before based on calendar pages and loved how it turned out. This scrapbook is even cleaner and sharper looking with a darling cover! And, I love the monthly tabs---what a great idea! Yes, the idea is simple, but the details make it outstanding in my book--scrapbook, that is!

1/25/2010 09:41:45 AM Report AbuseI am always trying to find creative ways to keep my life in order. This would make a cute planner for daily activites, kids sporting events and family functions. You could then have your year in review already done at the end of the year!!

1/21/2010 01:07:17 PM Report AbuseI like all three, but my favorite that I will try at home is the calendar. Love the idea of the month and being to write something on the day of the calendar to remember.

1/21/2010 11:02:44 AM Report AbuseLove the calendar style album. You just have to transfer from your daytimer.
1/21/2010 10:55:49 AM Report AbuseI love this idea, I just did one for each day in Dec. and it was really hard to remember to take a pic each day plus was hard to find something for every day so I have many blank pages. But for a month you would only need a couple pic's for the whole month.
1/21/2010 10:52:11 AM Report AbuseI love all three layouts but my favorite is the Create a calendar-style year in review album.
1/21/2010 10:43:09 AM Report AbuseI have calendars that are 20 years old - a way of knowing what was going on back then. However, this is awesome...putting pictures and words to it makes it come alive with memories of the experience too. What a wonderful way to capture your life and all it's energy. This is my favorite and I am inspired to do one for 2009. Thank you!
1/21/2010 10:42:22 AM Report AbuseThis is a great idea. I'm going to do it for 2010!!
