Uses for City Calendars

Do you ever get those “city calendars” delivered to your house? What I mean is, a calendar that has pictures or scenes from throughout your hometown. When we subscribed to the local paper we used to get one free. Then, when we bought our house our real estate agent started sending us one every year.
I hated to get rid of them, because they contain such great pictures of various spots around town. So I decided to use them as background for scrapbooking pages. When I have a picture of my family out on the town, I dig through the calendar to see if there might be an accompanying photo from the calendar.

The pages come out that much more personalized, and often provide an angel or perspective that I don’t have. The photos are larger as well, and work nicely as part of the background.

If you have some of these calendars (or ones of special places you’ve visited like Paris or London or whatever favorite spot) consider using these to spruce up your scrapbook pages.
