The Birthday Board

The Birthday Board: Framed list of family member's birthdays!

Do you have a mother-load of special dates to remember? I do! Being the designated household secretary (according to my husband), I am primarily the one who makes sure that Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and birthday gifts are sent out on time. I love everything about the noteable paper pack and have used it for other projects like the keepsake memory book  I made for my son. When I saw these fun 12×12 cardstock sheets that were pre-printed (yay!) with little calendars, I knew that I wanted to create an organizational project…and so I created a birthday board to keep in my office.  It was simply a matter of cutting and pasted. Here’s how I did it:

The Birthday Board: Framed list of family member's birthdays!

The Birthday Board

Supplies Used:

Noteable Paper Pack

Brads

Wood Grain Paper or Chipboard

Sticky Thumb Adhesive

Trim & Score Board

This is just a quick reference. If you don’t have the exact items I used or the same sized frame, you can totally switch things up! I’ve even shared links where you can find printable versions instead!

The Birthday Board: Framed list of family member's birthdays!

Start with a main piece of cardstock that has been cut to the same size as the back of your frame (mine was 11×14″).  Use an adhesive to attach the paper to the frame backing.

Trim your mini monthly pages of the 12×12 paper, or print some off online (I thought these were cute). I attached them, 4 at a time, to cardstock for a total of 3 pages to rotate on my clipboard. If you use the printable ones, you’ll have to see how many can fit on a page and adjust accordingly.

To create my faux clip board, I used a piece of cardstock that had a wood grain on it. You could also use a piece of chipboard. Clip the corners to round them. Cut it slightly larger than your 3 sheets of calendar pages.

Adhere the clipboard paper to the main cardstock (the one that is the size of the frame). Attach a mini clip with a brad through all thicknesses.

You can decorate this part however you’d like. I used mini brads on my little calendars and then wrote in the names of each family member having a birthday that month.

Each name on the board is a blessing to us and a reason to celebrate!  And just for fun, if you’d like a printable yearly birthday page to add to a planner or on the refrigerator you can use the one I shared in my 2014 Printable Planner post…for free!

    that is cute! years ago, before internet and FB, i sat down and made a little date book for my mom and sisters… cutting up family pictures and typing the lines…. then i included by hand, birthdays and anniversaries. we recently came across Mom’s when packing up her things… there were the OLD phtos and added in by hand each of the grandkids and great grandkids and even a couple of great-greats….now days i don’t know what i’d do if i didn’t have FB to remind me! hahaha!

      Isn’t that the truth! FB reminds me of all of my friend’s birthdays, even those who I don’t keep in contact with!

    I love it! But I don’t see my name on the January page… just saying’

    I guess it would make the project a little more extensive if you put all of your cousins on there!

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
