It's the first Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:
'Anything Goes'
or
'Something New'
(New Year, New House, New Job, New Baby, New Stash...)
We are currently without a sponsor, so this challenge is just for fun.
My 'Something New' is the 'New Year', and I'm sharing the 2026 calendar that I made for my Mum for Christmas. Every year, I decorate a couple of the blank A4 calendars from Paper Mill Direct to give as gifts, and use only Penny Black stamped images. If there's a special event in a particular month, I try to find an appropriate image...it's a great project for using stamps that don't often get inked, and also for using up lots of snippets of papers!

What a wonderful piece of work! So lovingly designed and made with so much love. Your mum must have been absolutely thrilled. Every single calendar page is simply admirable. The design is beautiful, the images are so cute and lovingly crafted. The colors are perfectly coordinated, and the edges are so beautifully finished. These Penny Black stamp designs bring a smile to one´s face every month.
