JANUARY CALENDAR

Since I'm a little behind, I didn't get my January Calendar done until yesterday.  I did it rather hurriedly and I can't say that I am terribly proud of this one.  I love the image that was a stamp off from my friend, Joanne.  I knew I wanted to use it for a quick design.  I colored with my Copic markers.  Since it was a stamp off it needed to be cut out and mounted but the white cardstock for the design was a little different white from the calendar piece.  Out of frustration to get it done, I quickly cut a piece of red card stock and ran it through the Cuttlebug to give it something rather than just a plain background.

I had used Crystal Stickles on portions of the design and accidentally got a couple smudges where they didn't belong.  Therefore I added some lines of Stickles trying to make it look like snow.  I should have left it alone. 

Hopefully the February calender will get more attention.  I almost didn't post this one.

Thanks for stopping by............
