I can’t take credit for this idea. I saw it on Pinterest! If you haven’t realized my love for Pinterest yet…let me tell you, I LOVE PINTEREST! You can follow me and all my pins here or you can click on the “P beaker = {Follow Me on Pinterest}” button in my sidebar (more on those fun buttons later!) If you need an invite to this awesome site, send me your email address and I will be happy to invite you! You can leave your address in a comment below or email it to me at thatswhatchesaid {at} hotmail {dot} com.
So here is my pin from Pinterest:

She made hers with a Silhouette, but like I talked about before, I don’t have all the fun gadgets yet, so I made mine on PSE and printed it off using a Winkflash Daily Deal. If you don’t have access to Photoshop, you could also use Picnik, which is a free software. You can choose which ever dates are important to you! I love this idea. It’s abstract but personal all at the same time. I love multi tasking :) Here is mine!
And here is what it looks like printed, framed and hung on the wall.
I will upgrade to a larger, matted frame soon, but for now this is what I had on hand and I love it. Now my husband has no reason to forget our important dates! We’ll see if it works!
I think you must be my crafting twin. I have this on my list of projects to make as well. I just have been debating about whether I want to do it on the computer or on my Cricut. Yours turned out great!
Laura, we might just be! :) You use your Cricut and send me the link when you finish yours!!! Then we can see it both ways :) I don’t have any cool gadgets yet except PSE so I had no choice! I am working on that gadget issue!
I pinned that ages ago, still need to create it. Maybe after I make those floating shelves…
I LOVE this. I’ll definitely be bookmarking this so I can make one in the future.
I’d also love an invite to Pinterest please.
Excellent Kim! And I sent an invite your way! ;) If you follow me, I can follow you back! :)
What a neat idea! Love it. I just started following you on Pinterest. I am in love with it as well. I am such a visual person and I have “pinned” a ton of things already. My new love.

New to Picnik, anyone know how to create in Picnik?
Thanks to my 11 year old we figured it out! These kids are amazing!
Stacey, Check out this great Picnik tutorial from a great blog “Homemade by Jill” She has step by step process for using that program on how she made one of her printables!

(and yes, kids these days are amazing with technology!)
Ohhhh…I adore this! I like that you could have it hanging and it would really make people wonder about what it is and yet it would have so much meaning!
Exactly!!! Only close family will really recoginze the dates and everyone else will go ‘hmmmm…” I like keeping some guessing ;-)
Great idea – I’m in love with pinterest too! Now following you there – this is now on my “to-do” list as well. Thanks for sharing!
HI Elizabeth! Thanks for the nice comment and glad to share all my Pinterest finds with you! That site is so addicting :)
I’ve seen this too and would love to make my own version :)
Steph thats for stopping by! If you make one, I’d love to see how great it turns out! You could share it back on my facebook page if you have time! Have a great day!
Your version turned out great! Thanks for using my artwork as inspiration. :)
