I make a calandar every year for my mom and mother in law and these are far the best! This year I used this brand and it was such a better buy! This is a scrapbook when you are done! It has that months layout - in a plastic sleeve, that months calandar page, underneath that is another plastic sleeve for a matching latout. You could rip out the calandar pages wen you are done (if you wanted to) because the back is blank- not your next months layout like most calandars!
