Bee likes the colour blue so I pulled out all my snippets of blue patterned papers and set about creating the pages. The papers were stuck onto thick card and the edges coloured to match with promarkers. The calendar months were stuck on matching paper for each page and then adhered to make a pocket.
I then made smaller tags for each month that had Notes on one side and Birthdays on the other to fit inside the pockets.
Punched holes in the top and finished each one off with pretty ribbon. Two book rings held the pages together.
