Couldn't sleep Friday night…. too quite house with my children away and all (and the afternoon nap because I could probably didn't help.) So instead I made this for my class of very special kids who all adore calendars right now.

Friday Night

Two pages - PDF'd because of that cross platform thing (agh!)
The first is the template - I am thinking that I will enlarge ours to A3(it is a4 sized) - so that they don't have so many tiny bits, then we will paint the background with some blue edicol.
For this sort of thing I often cut the pieces (especially the star) out for them - and let them put them in order - we will start with 2 at the top and then count on - with "what's next?"
And yes there are two copies of each number - just for the ones who think it is hilarious to get rid of some of the numbers - but also because my kids don't really like to colour so i will print this in colour.
If you think you can use it, feel free to download it here
Week in a life Digital templates
Saturday, 25 October 2014
It is that time again ..... for Ali Edwards week in a life ... looking forward to it this year with a decent iPhone camera for when we are out and about... also hoping my kids decide to contribute some photos.
I will as in years past use the digital templates Ali has. There are two options the 6x8 and letter sized ones. I chose the 6x8 because I liked the full sized title for each day but most likely I will resize them to A4 and print them in a photobook at my favourite print lab which now has an open to the public branch called nu shots. I love to use templates when making photobooks as it makes it quick and easy.
Here is a look at the templates:
You can see how i used previous templates to create a photobook here.
But today here's a video showing an easy method to insert pictures into the teemplate.
I used Photoshop creative cloud but also have cs6 and it is fairly similar.
