Perpetual Celebration Calendar Tutorial

Happy Thursday Everyone:

Anita here today with a tutorial for a Perpetual Celebration Calendar. I have a perpetual calendar which I have been using for years and wanted to replace it with something more fun. I decided to buy a rolodex and found some great files in Lori’s store that I used to create the pages for my calendar. I used Memorydex Scalloped Cards (SVG, Silhouette) and used all three included shapes. Male birthdays got the rectangle shape which can be found in the 4 Cute Tags file (SVG, Silhouette). I used 4 Scalloped Shapes (SVG, Silhouette) as the date reminder tags that went on the female birthday cards. And I used the Nested Hearts file (SVG, Silhouette) for the anniversary cards. For the files without the punch holes in the bottom, I used a memorydex punch to add them. Please note that each card also has an extra layer on the back of cardstock to give it a bit more stability and to help it to be more stable on the rolodex holder as it spins.

I used the Memorydex Box and Cards (SVG, Silhouette) for the month tab cards. You can find a tutorial to make the Memorydex Box and Cards here on Lori’s blog. I also used the Month 4X6 Journaling Cards (SVG, Silhouette) I resized them to fit on the card and then cut them out. I did my editing of this file on my Silhouette. I decorated the cards with ephemera from my stash.
