New year - new calendar


I made a new calendar using bits from the botanical selection from the Graphics Fairy, it's a bit more full than then one I did last year but I like all the bits of color popping. With right click on the image you can save it and print it, it fits an A4 page, just needs a slight trim on the sides. Now I do hope I haven't made any mistakes with the months, it was made in a hurry and usually I do a double-triple check before I print it but I run out of time. We took a little trip to our village in Arcadia where we spend Christmas but we'll be back in Athens before the new year.
Sending you all my best wishes for a lovely new year :-)

For the new year


Each year I tape a calendar on my closet door, it's proven to be very useful and I've done it for the past three years. The first one was a calendar I got at a book fair, the second one was made by my best friend and now I decided to make the third one. I used images from The Graphics Fairy, the image of the dancing children and a background with a floral pattern combined with a tea stained texture I had on my PC. I played around with the filters and layer blend modes to give it a vintage feel and this is the result, I must say I am quite pleased with it!
Just click on the image and print it, it's a bit smaller than an A4 paper, so you'll need to trim it a bit. I printed it on a bit heavier paper than regular and it looks fantastic, now I just need to trim it and tape it on my closet door :-)
Happy new year, may this year bring all of us the things we most need!
