This challenge is to make a perpetual calendar to use as a gift or to keep for yourself.
To complete the challenge, you need to complete 2 months for 2012. This challenge will take some time to complete but I started it now so that you have a chance to complete it before Christmas.
To make the calendar, go to
http://www.wincalendar.com/2011-Word-Calendar.htmScroll down and pick a calendar month for 2012. You can choose the month to be in landscape or portrait mode.
You will see a blank calendar but has shading that you may or may not want. I don’t want it so I changed it by making it editable. (
A yellow area, protected view, is above the calendar part. Click “enable editing”.)Now you can change it to how you want it. Click on a date square. Right click and choose “borders and shading”. Click on Shading – change “fill” to “no color” or how you want it, then where it says “Apply to”- change the dropdown box choice to what you want. I picked “table”.

Now do it again to change the color of a date square. Choose “borders and shading”. Change “fill” to a color of your choice. Go to the “Apply to” dropdown arrow and choose “cell”. It should now look like this with your color added to the cell.

Next, type in the event you need in that box. I typed my nephew’s name “Eli”. Highlight it and a box will show up. Click “font color” (A) and choose a color that shows up in your box well. I picked “white”. Continue doing the same for other events for the month you are working on and the border across the top of the calendar. It will look similar to this one. Continue adding the events you want for that month.

Save your calendar.To make the calendar smaller so you have room to embellish the frame, move your cursor to the right hand corner of the actual calendar, it changes to an arrow with 2 points. Left click and hold and move up to your desired size. Save again. Print.
I attached my calendar towards the top of a piece of cardstock and then to the inside of the frame. My embellishments were print and cut from MTC and pop dotted onto the front of the frame. I am going to close up the ends of a file folder to keep my other months in with the embellishments so I have them ready to change for each month.
Have fun!
