Gold tape & calendars.

heyitsbex · March 3, 2015 · Leave a Comment

In this last year I’ve learned that I am very much a tangible touch kind of person. Digital to do lists are never functional for me. I need to write it down. Physically check off the boxes. I’ve learned that the same goes for Calendars. I hate having to open up an app just to see what day of the week the 17th is.

I’ve been thinking of putting up a small 2015 calendar on my wall as like a year-at-a-glance kind of view. The idea mainly came so I could keep track of which week my project life album was on. A 2015 calendar – seems like there would be quite a few stellar freebies online, right? So I set out to save myself some time, only to find that many people release monthly printable freebies. That doesn’t help me when I want to be able to see the whole year. Nothing too complicated, no space needed for planning, journalling, or adding in any important dates.

I had a vision in mind. Simple. Square-ish. Black and white. After a little searching and not much luck, I almost gave up and started to make my own. But then – I found this amazing freebie that has every month from Cristina, over at Cautiously Obsessed. It was exactly what I was looking for! So I printed it out, 2 months on a page and cut them down to size (I probably would have left a little more space around each month, had I not already cut one month out to the size they are).

12 months printed on individual papers and taped to the wall with gold tape

To add just the perfect sparkle, I cut some gold glitter tape into small strips and added them to the top. I have to confess, I am obsessed with this glitter tape. It’s the Recollections brand from Michaels (I got it on sale for like a dollar! Score!). Granted, it’s not the strongest tape. I use it mainly for decoration, I would never use it to actually seal something.

I figure I’ve saved myself about an hour of fiddling around in Illustrator – not to mention I now have an awesome year at a glance on my wall!
