TPD: 2014 Calendar Tag - August

The July 2014 tag is finished and now we need to make another one for August. Please use the printable 2014 calendar here: 2014 calendar

Everyone using the same calendar size ensures the completed calendar we have next year will be similar for every month.

The tags have to be the #5 tags you can find in any office supply store, or you can make your own (4 3/4 x 2 3/8" or 12 x 6 cm) out of strong paper - manilla weight paper (like filing folders). The top edges have to be clipped at an angle.

Use collage, paint, rubber-stamping, etc, etc, etc.

It has be decorated in a manner that makes you think of the current month we're working on. It can even be a birthday - your partner's, or somebody famous.

Other ideas could be a holiday of the month, the weather at that time, things that people do at that time of the year, etc. If you make it weather specific, consider your partner's city.

Put some sort of ribbon or pretty matching string through the hole at the top. You can add some chunk to these, since they won't be "locked up" in a sleeve somewhere.

You don't have to decorate the back, your partner might want to paste these onto a larger background, so it becomes a wall calendar. Put your SB name on the front bottom, so they remember who sent this piece of art to them. Ensure they know who to rate.

Join all of these and you'll have a homemade 2014 calendar by next January :)

If you've missed any of the previous months, pm me and we can set up a private swap.

The tag shown is the one I made for my partner for July - her fave colours are red, white and blue!
