Good morning!
The Clear Dollar Stamps Digi Team has a real treat for you today!
One of the new sets, the Year Round Calendar set, is being featured today in a blog hop!
If you get lost at any point along the way, go to the CDS blog, and the rotation is listed.
Be sure to leave a comment on each DT members blog, and the CDS Blog, as TWO lucky blog hoppers will win this calendar set!!!
As I asked for January (DD's birthday month AND I love snowmen), I'm first on the hop!
I sized, and printed out two January calendars to fit it a 4" x 6", and a 5" x 7" acrylic frame.
While the images were still loaded to size, I ran some patterned paper scraps through my printer.
This allowed me to paper piece the snowman's vest, and hat band. Cuteness!
The images were matted with the same DP that I paper pieced with.
I am working with each month, and will have a full calendar set in each size, for gifts.
At the end of each month, that month is removed, and a new month added.
Without further ado, here are my calendars:
All coloring is done with Copics
DP by a muse and DCWV
Next up on the list is the fabulous Barb!
Hurry over to Barb's blog to see what she's created.
Thanks for dropping by!
Blessings,
Patti J.

How cute are those January pages ... what a great idea for the calendar blog hop.
Love your calendar pages! Always wanted to make those and never had, maybe when I retire like you! It has been a rough couple weeks. I guess you have heard all the bad news from R-7 and unfortunately it's not over yet. And my home computer 'broke' and I had to get a new one. Just now getting back into a routine with this blogging thing!
