PBSC January - 'Anything Goes' (Optional 'Something New')...More Inspiration!

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'

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

Prize - a $20 voucher!

I went with 'New Year' again, and have another calendar to share...this one is one of Papermill Direct's desk calendars....currently in the sale. 

This one is for my craft desk, and I'm going to decorate each month as the year goes on, so I'm just sharing January's page today. I picked an image from the 'Bubbly' set of a cat and mouse enjoying a glass of bubbly in a bubble bath for this month, stamping it on to watcolour paper, and colouring it using watercolour pencils. I paired it with papers from the 'Refreshing Basics' pad from The Works...distressing the edges and then adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.

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

• A Perfect Time to Craft - Anything Goes
• Creative Fingers - Anything Goes
• Little Red Wagon - Patterned Paper
• Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
• Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
