today's idea: birthday reminder clipboard
what you need:
* clipboard (we used the letter size hardboard ones)
* 12 month birthday reminder pages (click on each link for download)

* patterned paper or paper from a digital kit
(optional)
* spray paint or acrylic paint
* painter's tape
* black ink pad
* black cardstock
step one: decide if you want to decorate your clipboard or leave it plain. i used one that i had already painted with black acrylic paint. jodie spray painted hers. so, first she covered the metal part with painter's tape.
step two: pick out your papers. jodie used the american crafts, blue skies + abode papers.
i used the sweet summertime digital kit from jessicasprague.com. (i opened a 12x18 document in photoshop elements and placed strips of the digital papers on it. then had the sheet printed off at costco.)
step three: cut your patterned paper into 1 1/2" x 8 1/2" strips.
step four: ink your strips of paper or back them with black 1 3/4" x 8 1/2" strips of cardstock. adhere them onto your birthday reminder pages.
step five: fill in each month with all of those important birthdays. and you're all finished!!
What a cute idea!
DARLING idea - this would be a great wedding gift :)

Love this! Sooo cute & EASY! You'll never forget--back in the day my grandma had a calendar she hung on the office doorknob that was very similar. Always thought it was such a great idea!
Oh and thanks for the Costco printing tip!!
Wondering where you found the 2 pronged stand?
LOVE this idea, LOVE your blog. Thank you!
BEST BLOG EVER! Thanks for sharing!
very clever idea indeed!
I always write the year they were born in (or pretend to be born in) in paranthesis next to their name. This way I can remember those big, important birthdays.
Just found you gals from Today's Creative Blog - LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!!
Love it! Take it one step further...? Laminate each month and use a dry erase marker to update as the years roll on.
Thanks for the great idea!
I just love your blog girls.
Thank you from Spain!!
What a great idea! Thanks so much for this, I'll be linking.
Definitely cute, and something that I definitely need in my life!
Fab idea.... definitely going to try it out!!
Love this project! Any chance you would want to re-post the calendar pages to scribd. They are in the archives and it wants you to pay for a membership to download them.
Just came across your blog today and I LOVE it! I will be making these cute Birthday calendars for Chrismtas gifts for my friends!!
The January and June link seem to be broken. Is there a way for me to print them?
Email me at cooper120804@msn.com

Again, I LOVE the blog!!
I can't print January or June either. Can you let me know if you can fix them, or email them to me as well? Thanks SO Much!! LOVE this idea!!
Love this idea & design. Could you send me the link to "January" & "June" if you have one that would allow me to print them? Contact me @ bethwborup@yahoo.com
Thank you!
I love this!
Cute idea!!
