I was just wondering what others have done for a book of centuries. I like the simplicity of the free download here, but would like more space for modern times (maybe 20ish years per 2-pg. layout for modern, 50ish years for middle ages or so). Anyone know of free/cheap templates to do this? I plan to put them in a 3-ring binder with page protectors. Thanks for any suggestions:) Gina
Well, we actually use the one here. You can easily print out several pages for a certain time span instead of just the one; that’s what we’ve done. Just a thought…. Maybe someone else can list one they use that has more room built in.
Thats what I do, print out 5 or so pages of each century and then glue on pictures in the right time order.
Thanks, ladies. After reading your posts and examining the pages again I see how I could make it work and still look neat. I’m thankful for this free resource!!! Blessings, Gina
I have thought of doing a Book of Decades when it comes to that time, with each two page spread being 10 years.
Great ideas! Have any of you used cardstock or just regular paper with page protectors? I’d like it to be durable, but simple:) Thanks! Gina
I used page protectors, and if I had it to do over again, I think I’d go with cardstock. The page protectors do their job of protecting, but it gets to be a pain to wrestle the papers in and out of them every time we want to add something.
I use both page protectors and card stock. My girls are very young and so they paste pictures, and use water colors, etc., so we need something more durable.
I have not made one yet (getting ready to as I’m new to CM). I will be printing on cardstock and spiral binding with my machine. Then if I must add pages later I can always rebind with a new spiral, though I hope to not need to add in pages once I get it set.
We use page protectors and a three ring binder. It’s really nice because my daughter got really interested in one particular event and so she drew a picture and did a written narration and wanted to include it in the timeline, so we just added it to the binder. I like too that if need be, we could always replace a page (haven’t had to yet, but it’s nice to have that option).
