I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this calendar challenge over at The Kathryn Wheel. At the beginning of the month you start with a blank canvas and take off from there. I've decided to use it as a diary of sorts; posting bits and pieces of the things I've been working on throughout the month. You'll also notice I kinda have a thing for dimension...
So here's what my January page started out as and what it ended up as .... (I started the second weekend so I kinda had to fake several days)
And a glance at my alter ego from the 1920's along with my favorite quote of the month, and a shot of some really fun paper I got from 7 Dots Studio.
The 7 Dots paper is so gorgeous on both sides I tried "weaving" it, you know - one strip over, one strip under type thing - and really liked the effect. It would be a great background for a tag, or card, or a number of other things.
So that wraps up January. For February I couldn't really stay away from red and pinks....I have a feeling I'll be pretty traditional in my color choices.
Happy Valentines' Day and Happy Leap Year....see you next month with this challenge and MARCH!
Oh my! Sounds so cold, so I won't tell you that it's been our warmest (80+) January in years. This challenge is great isn't it?!? I love your calendars and really like how each of your date squares are so different. Great job.

ReplyDeleteHi Sara! I love how you filled your January page and I'm looking forward to seeing February filled. It's great to meet someone from Alaska, even if it is cold there I think it must be very beautiful.
