January Calendar Page - Happy New Year!

Well, here it is - 2013 already! Happy New Year to all - hope your year is fabulous.

Time for a new calendar page. For this month, I used an old Stampin' Up! stamp from the set Snow Angels. I colored it with Copic markers - 18 of them! I added Star Dust Stickles to the hat, cuffs and the snow under the snowman. The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions.

If you are interested in using the file I have created for the calendars, please feel free. You can find it under my blog header. I'd love to hear from you, if you decide to give it a try. The pages print out 3.5 x 5 inches, after cutting. I have included cutting instructions in a file there, also.

We are moving along on our new house. We have cleaned most of it. ALL of my stamping stuff is over at the new place except for my chair. We have even prepared the room for painting - taped, removed outlet covers, etc., and washed the walls. I had chosen the color I was going to paint it, but I guess we're going to wait and have a color consultant come in and make suggestions for the house. We've never had a house like this, and we'd like to make the right paint choices. :) It will set my stamping room back a few days, though. I'll try to remember to bring my camera over there next time and take some pictures of the room and all my boxes!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

I love this one. I have that set and it is one I will never part with. It is so fun! I was not aware of color consultants! Good choice. I have a friend who comes and tells me if I will like it or not. She is always right on. Happy New Year!

Beautiful calendar page, Lynette. I hope you have a very happy new year, full of creativity, and enjoyment in your new house. Thanks for your visit and lovely comment - we are hoping for great things this year. I'm glad you liked my end-of-year review - until I wrote it I didn't think I'd done much last year, but it's amazing how much I've actually achieved now I see it all in one place lol!!

Have a great year.

Just curious about your comments on choosing paint colors. Guess I'm too nosy, but I can't figure out your comment about never having this kind of house before and what kind of house it must be to make you feel your color choices might not be right. I guess I'm just looking at it from the standpoint that color choices are so personal to our tastes, I don't know that I could give that up to someone else. :)
