Welcome to the 2011 edition of Creative Itch's 12 Days of Christmas!!
Let's get started, shall we?!
{Day 1: Paper Bag Perpetual Birthday Calendar}
Instead of making my calendar from 9"x6" vertical envelopes, I used brown paper bags. Here's a view of one of the inside pages:
What I love about this calendar is the organization factor! Fill out the birthdays for each month, place cards in the envelopes, and you'll be all ready for birthdays for the year!
A tutorial for this project can be found HERE from Nannygoat.
**Notes**
Since I didn't use envelopes, I had to create my own flaps. Here's the measurements:
*Cut cardstock to 5 1/8" x 3 1/2". Score at 1 5/8". Round the corners of the larger half of the cardstock, and tape/glue onto the inside of the paper bag.
See you tomorrow for Day 2!

I absolutely LOVE this idea!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! :)
This is such a great idea!! I have a perpetual calendar to keep track of birthdays, but I love the paper bag idea to keep the cards with the calendar. And yours turned out SO CUTE!! I think I might have to make one of these. It'd make a great gift for grandparents as well. Thanks for sharing. :)
