Look what else...

...one calendar can produce.

I decided to sit down and cut out all the elements from my old calendar that I thought would be useful in my paper crafting.
With very little effort I have 12 lovely images that I can use to make cards with - I've cut some out in more detail but also left some rectangular (for the time being)
As you can see, it is very easy to cut the images out in fancy shapes and there are additional elements (hearts) that can be saved for future use.
Now what would a calendar be without the months of the year. This particular calendar had each of the months on a banner - sooooooooooooo easy to cut out and perfect to use on those scrapbook pages or even when constructing your own calendars.

Everything has been tucked away in a wallet to keep it safe and readily to hand when I want to use any of the images. I'll be sitting down and making a start on the rest of my old calendars.

If you are still hanging on to your old calendars because you like the pictures but are not sure what you want to do with them - just trim them down and store them ready for use. A complete calendar just glares at you and you will probably end up throwing it away - if you reduce it to useable elements it will be far easier to make use of it. Go on, give it a try..............................
