Calendar Collection Mini Layouts - Daniela Costa

Hello Friends!  Welcome 2020!  My first post for Authentique Paper this year!  Are you ready to get some Scrapbooking done?  I am!  I'm starting a new way of documenting my life, incorporating Scrapbooking, Art, and whatever I'm feeling at the moment.  I am calling these my "Smash" Books!  I have a specific one I'm going to dedicate to EVERYTHING Authentique Paper.  I'm staring it off by making a Scrapbook layout for each month in the book.  I'm going to decorate the front later and will share this as I go along.  I wanted to keep things simple so it won't be too thick, but with the Calendar Collection you don't need much of anything else.  Can you believe the darling images in each of the months? Its so hard to pick which image to use as they are all so beautiful.

This is the book I'm starting with, with the original cover. I just grabbed this at my local Art Store, Blick Art.  This book is 7x10 and will feature a double page layout of each Authentique Paper Month in the Calendar Collection.

Each of these smaller layouts measure 6 3/4 x 9 3/4.  I've used the 4 Papers for each month and have plenty left to make cards for each month as well.

Welcome January 2020!  

Here is my first layout for January.  I've made this for 2 - 3x3" photos along with a 4x4" photo.  Each of the Calendar sets of 4 papers has everything you'll need to create wonderful projects, from strips of words and phrases as well as tags on every set, squares of icons, Calendar and then a whole sheet of images.  To my pages, I've only added bling, ribbon and twine. The photo mats are made from one of the solid papers. 

Hello February! 

I've placed this layout right behind the last.  As you can see, I like to leave about 1/4" edge on the book.   I also made a point to make spots for journaling.  Since each of the Calendar Months papers already have 2 darling tags, I made sure to turn some of my photo mats into pockets.  These are really simple layouts. You don't need alot of extra product with these papers! 

Hello March! 

Here is the March layout which features all the same elements.  You can see how the top layout is similar cut can look completely different.  Please feel free to incorporate any of these into your scrapbooks or make them into a 12x12 layout.  I'd love to see any of your creations!

Enjoy and next time, I'll share my second 3 layouts for you!  I'm sure to be using the BRAND new product coming out for Creativation 2020!
