Sharing something a little different with you today. Last year I started a small calendar project and never did finish it so I hope I can stick with this years. LOL I picked this stand up at Michael's with a coupon. It's supposed to be for hanging scrapbook pages, but I decided it would make a great calendar stand.
The pictures aren't the greatest. My house has terrible lighting and it's freezing outside so I hope you can get the gist anyway.
I've used Mo's Herald Harry to bring in the New Year. I was inspired to use him by the gorgeously colored tag of Vili that you can find here. I'm horrible at folds and creases so I was literally looking at her colored image and trying to color mine in like fashion. Eehhh...it's passable, but I need LOTS more practice.
I'm going to try my best to use up some of the older things in my stash this year. The vellum and pearl brads are probably the newest things on this layout and they're both a few months old.
You can find the printable calendar pages at Findingnana. She has a couple of different styles for 2014.
Here's a close up of little Harry.
Copics Used:
skin--E000, E00, E11, E13, R20, R30
hair--E21, E23, E25, E27, E29
