PBSC January - Anything Goes (Optional 'Something New')

It's the third Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for some more inspiration for this month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:

'Anything Goes'

or

'Something New'

(New Year, New Craft Stash, New Baby, New Home, New Job...)

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:

Prize - a $20 voucher!

Now, if you saw my original 'Something New' challenge post a couple of weeks ago, you would be forgiven for thinking that I'm posting the same project...but this is a different calendar! This is the one I made for my Aunt for Christmas. The blank calendar is from the Paper Mill and I used a different assortment of Penny Black images on this one. I stamped all of the images on to watercolour paper, coloured them using watercolour pencils, then cut the circle and oval shapes using some of my Nesties. Again, I used lots of snippets of older papers to decorate each page...I distressed the edges of all of the papers, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

I'm also entering this calendar into the following challenges:

• Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes
• Crafty Calendar - Anything Goes
• Fab & Funky - Stamp It
• Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
• Sparkles Forum - New Beginnings (New Year)
