Calendar Pages

At the beginning of the year, I saw a lot of people making calendar pages where there was a little space for each day...write an event or something special that happened each day...sounded like a fun project and I jumped right in.  Here are the pages I've made so far this year.  The square for each day measures 1.25 inches...

 January was made with splashed watercolor, Perfect Pearls splashed on, swirls drawn with water based Sharpie paint markers and a snowflake stamp.

February was made with hearts painted with masking fluid and the heart cut outs decorated with medium point gel markers.

March was made with splashed on watercolor (can you tell I love this technique?), watercolor on bubble wrap printed on the splashed background and swirl stamps were highlighted with metallic paint pens.

 April started out with a watercolor background, gold paint sponged through punchinella and rabbit stamps around the border with pigment ink.

As usual, I waited until the last minute to start May (where do the days go?) but I hope to finish it tonight and I'll post it tomorrow.  Lots of green is going on to mimic my backyard that is starting to green up so beautifully!

Very cool looking pages, and a great memoir to look back on. Love that rabbit stamp--where can I find one? And what did you stamp it with? I like the translucent nature of the result!

Lisa, the rabbit stamp was from one of those dollar bins at Micheal's around Easter time. I stamped it with Color Box pigment ink in purple.

Love these calendar pages! I've been doing them in my journal, too, with a record of "creative things" I've done that day. Your pages give me lots of inspiration for the future months!
