This is the calendar spread I made for February. I used a sepia ink and a brush to put down some color. Then I usd a sepia Copic marker to write a love letter. (The ink ran out before I finished and I had to switch to a brown pen.) Next I tore some pink/silver glittered paper and added the pieces randomly around the pages. Then I used a red pen and a ruler and drew dash lines diagonally across each page. I drew some hearts around the page and used my rubber stamps to add some hearts and sentiments. I cut my squares and placed them on the pages. I had some old-fashioned dolls stamped on a scrap that I cut out and placed in various places over the pages. I used a blank ticket to write on and glued it beside the heart frame that contains the "February" heart at the top of the page on the left side. I added a stamped doll and metal heart to the ticket. I added an "inchie" to the bottom the page on the left and a tag with "Ms. Wren" (www.characterconstructions.com) stamped on it to the bottom of the page on the right side. I attached a red puffy heart to the February title. As a final effort, I added wings to the heart at the upper left side of the left page and then wrote "The heart can do anything" in several places around the pages. I am so enjoying this project! I have been able to keep up with my January calendar thus far. I do pray I can be faithful with this project all through the year. It is challenging to decide which colors for the pages and which paper designs to use for the journal squares. Join us!
