For the cover and back, I scanned and cropped my ArtFiberFest fabric journal cover and resized it to fit an 8½ x 5½ format.
The inside covers are sewn 'Mary Ann Moss-style' with photos and decorative paper.
To make it easy, I purchased two monthly calendar refills, trimmed off the notebook holes on the edges, and glued each month-half to an 8½ x 11 inch piece of card stock. I cut these in half and voila- the calendar pages are created.
Here's what the month of January looks like in the bound Art Journal Calendar.

On the backs of the calendar pages, I glued my artwork or photos to go with each season.
Between March and April are a photo of the snow drops on Vashon Island and my Mt Hood landscape.
Between August and September are a photo of the dahlias at Justy's Flowers & Produce and one of my dahlia sketches.
Enjoy making your own visual calendar for 2010 and Happy New Year!!!!

I love the idea of cutting up a calendar (since I am so untalented at things like creating one the right size on the computer), now I may make one for myself this year!
Yours looks really great!
Happy New Year!!
I hope your calendar fills with beautiful images of 2010. I think it is going to be a good year. I hope yours is full of love and joy. Let us stay in touch. Lorrie
I always love your calendars and am so impressed that you manage to fill them every year! I love how you incorporated your fabric journal into this one.
I am taking my first journalling class in feb at art and soul . How was fiber fest the journal cover is wonderful that you made so I am guessing it was a good retreat??
You are so clever, Paula. I'm a terrible journal keeper but you're inspiring me with your format...perhaps there is hope for me!
