I'm not particularly thrilled about it. It's not AT ALL the color it started out to be and I didn't feel like cutting up little squares, so it's only three different papers (two of them are double-sidded). Basically it was just an "I don't wanna do this but I said I was gonna so I am" project. Take that!

What? It's the 5th? How come no one told me?!?
I know, I know, I'm LATE! Here is January's page. I even put in a picture of Mini Me when he was a baby because his birthday is this month!

December Calendar
Still participating in the calendar project! It's just pages in my regular (Moleskine sketch) journal.
Background
Date circles
Completed!
Kelly and I made our pages together, and we were thinking circles could be fun this month. She has the coolest punches! I wonder if we can do something else interesting for January? Anyway, the ages are REALLY shimmery and none of the glues we were trying worked so we used regular old Elmer's. To make my circles lay flat, I closed my journal and sat on it - an advanced technique I often use when I'm making journals. Sure, I could stack heavy things on top of it, but a hundred-fifty pound chick is even better.
Oh, and the circles are randomly applied with no dates on them yet. We're just going to pick a circle we like that day and put the date on it.

Oops
I was late making my calendar this month! This one was really fun because of how it started. Last week I was playing at my friend's house after we went to a couple of art stores. We both got a new type of shimmery paints we'd never tried, Lumiere. It's super fun, thick and shiny. Not as translucent as Stewart Gill Alchemy, but just as shiny and pretty. So when I peeled off the tops on the jars, I smeared them onto the pages of my journal to see how they looked. My friend took out the world's tiniest paint brush and was about to dot them onto a piece of trash, but I made her use her sketchbook. She made these teeny little marks and I made a mess. But the mess turned into this background!
Of course, I added some things, but I won't bore you with the details. The days are one inch squares (I'm a stay-at-home-mom with no car, I don't really do much that involves making an appointment) and the silhouette is from a picture I took of my aunt getting ready for her wedding.
I almost forgot to include where this idea came from!! I got it from here and she got it from here.
