Card Holder Book

I've been wanting to make one of these for quite some time and finally got around to doing it.  I saw some measurements here on Cindy Major's blog post, that I thought were perfect.  She used 8 1/2" x 11" CS sheets and just scored them at 3" for the card pockets for the inside pages, making a 8" x 8 1/2" book.  Perfect.  So that's what I did.

I have a bunch of SU retired product that I thought I'd try to use some of, so I pulled out my Simply Scrappin' At Home kit, and added some cardstock, mostly retired colors, and went to town.  I kept it really simple to try to keep the bulkiness down, because I still have to add cards to the pockets. 

Below are pictures of the January and February pages just to give you an idea of what the insides look like.

For the monthly calendars, I simply created them in Excel.  I'm offering to share my file with you if you want it.  It prints 3 months per 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, so you'll need 4 sheets to print them on.  You will just need to email me with your request, as I'm not sure how to share downloadable pdf files here yet.
(Perhaps someone can help me out with that???)

***Updated:  Here's the downloadable file for the Calendar Months.

Happy creating!  :)
