Calendar Gift

I am making a Calendar gift for a friend of mine who like Oriental things. I will upload a few picks each day so that you can see what I have done and at the end of the week you will see the completed calendar.

Here is January. I used plain red cardstock with a piece from the DCWV Oriental range of papers. The red signifies the happiness of Chinese New Year. I used a metal charm which has a dragon on it. I chalked the calendar (which I downloaded from Publisher). The Oriental sizzix corners really sets off the mood of the calendar.

The cool weather of February brought to mind greys and blues and of course Valentines day is for lovers so I added a Geisha girl image. I used a rub on Chinese word for "Love". I chalked the calendar is greys and blues.

Spring is here in March with the blossoming cherry trees. The Chinese word "Spring" brightens up our lives and shakes away the cobwebs of winter.
