January 2013

Something a bit different this week.  I've always wanted to make my own calendar but never seem to get started on it!  So far, I've done January but I've got it all bound together so I can easily add the other pages.

And here is a close up of the image:

I'm entering my January calendar page into the following challenges:

The calendar template comes from WinCalendar
www.wincalendar.com

The background paper comes from Bearly Mine Designs.  I have also added a strip of glitter tape across the centre.  The image comes from Dearie Dolls and has been coloured with copic markers.  Our January is the middle of summer - usually ice-cream type weather (although last year it wasn't!)  I have added some glossy accents to the centre of the daisies.

I have kept any embellishing fairly flat as a calendar is not going to sit properly with too much weight on it.
