It's the Craft Barn Calendar Challenge! {click on the link to take you to the Challenge, it's all up on the blog, Yippee!!!)
I'm going to make 2 calendars, one will be portrait and the other landscape. This the portrait version it's simply stamped, I used Paper Artsy stamps and Kaleidacolor ink pad.
This is the January page of my landscape version, again Paper Artsy stamps this time I also used the Paper Artsy Fresco Chalk paints. I paper pieced the little birds at the bottom of the stamped image because I wanted them to stand out against the grass, I know it's January but I'm willing Spring to get here quickly LOL
There are some very inventive calendars starting on the blog, worth a peek, I think:0)

Hi there folks, it's a challenging day here for your ol' mustavcoffee, I scheduled this post 'cos I'm still sort of trying to get back up to opererating mode physically and blow me down our computer has died again, we have either a real deadly virus on the boot up disk or we have massive hard drive failure. Oh dear:{ I'm on my son' s laptop and it's a bit challenging!!! BUT Thank you all for your comments and if you are going to join us I'm so pleased, it's going to be fun. I'm going to check back as often as I can and I'll do my best to visit you later, TTFN Gay xPaper Artsy Hot Picks 1005EZ and Kaleidacolor Creole Spice.
Second page,
Paper Artsy Minis SM26 stamp
Fresco paints, Guacamole and Haystack.I also used the Metallic paint (but it only shows behind the calendar)
All supplies in these projects came from The Craft Barn
What a super idea - I like both layouts - although I'm drawn to the portrait version. I've just signed up to play! What fun!

Great inspiration Gay, love that little bird house. I made desk calendars for the first time last year and this week's Craft Barn blog has given me lots of new ideas. Thank you. xx
