The Finished Calendar Scrapbook

At last, the project that I started a month ago has finished. My media is an old calendar that I turned into a scrapbook album. I really enjoyed doing it and thought of creating another one, since end of the year is approaching, there'll be another calendar available. The album that I called AUTUMN IN CONNECTICUT is about the photo series of sceneries that I took throughout parts of Connecticut during Autumn. Looking at the pictures always bring smile and peace to my self. Of all the four seasons, I think I love Autumn the most.

I've finished my latest project turning old calendar into a scrapbook album and I LOVE IT! I found it very interesting and addicted, coloring the calendar pages with ink stamps. I combined 2 or 3 colors on a page to create the color nuances of Autumn. My scrapbook theme is AUTUMN IN CONNECTICUT. I took the pictures during Autumn in 2010 and 2011 in several places in Connecticut. It's always lovely when Autumn arrives in New England. New England is an area in the eastern of United States that consists of several states, including Connecticut. This area is famous during Autumn for its colorful foliage. The earlier scrapbook pages have been posted here, OLD CALENDAR SCRAPBOOK and the additional pages you can view below. I will post more of the tutorial to turn old calendar into a scrapbook album later.

Old Calendar Scrapbook

My latest scrapbooking project involves an old calendar. I keep several of old calendars that are very good. Because I love buying calendars especially illustrated with paintings or drawings. Like the one with Charles Wysocki's paintings or Mary Engelbert's. Last year I came upon calendar with paintings by Ellen Eilers called Life in Calico Country and right away fell in love with it. But after one year has passed, I don't want to throw away such a beautiful calendar. So instead I use the mini calendar as an album for my scrapbook project called FALL IN CONNECTICUT, therefore I can still enjoy Ellen Eiler's artworks too. I've created several pages already and will post them below. I will describe the details about the materials and directions later on. By the way, this is one excellent way to reuse an old calendar to turn it into a scrapbook album. This way, if you use a desk calendar or a sturdy mini calendar like mine, you can show off your scrapbook album on a table and change the page each month just like a calendar.
