I promised myself I wouldn’t say it.
Not just yet anyway.
But I guess I have no choice.
2012 is almost upon us!
Instead of moaning about how fast the year has gone (it really has though), I’ve chosen instead to take this as an opportunity to look forward and envision how I’d like the coming year to look for me.
As you know, I’m a great fan of the “one word” concept – and if you’re a new reader of my blog you can read more about that here – so as well as one main word for my coming year (I haven’t quite decided on my “one word” yet), but I have decided to also use monthly focus words.
A new word each month to use as a booster for my main word.
And what better way to do that than with a “one word” calendar!
So I chose twelve of my favorite words and I’ve spent the last few weeks working on some new photo art designs that I can use for my calendar pages and I’ve finally finished! This is the first time I’ve done a project like this so it’s kind of exciting to see the project finished and printed. On paper not fabric for a change. And it looks fabulous!
Too fabulous to keep just to myself. So I’ve polished the presentation a little so it looks more professional, and you can now find my 2012 photo art calendars here in my design store.
Using the same design I made several different types of calendars because it’s always nice to have a choice.
There’s a “one word” (of course) photo art mini calendar size 2.3/4″ x 8.5″.
In addition to the “one word” mini calendar, there’s also an “unworded” photo art mini calendar size 2.3/4″ x 8.5″ for those of you who prefer to allow the picture to tell the story.
And finally, there’s a small calendar size 5.1/2″ x 8.1/2″ which includes photo art, words and a quotation (this is my personal favorite).
With gift-giving season coming up real fast, these calendars will make wonderful gifts for yourself or your friends. Plus they’ll continue to inspire you all year round.
You can find them all listed here in my design store, and for those of you who prefer to shop over on Etsy, you’ll find them also listed here in my Etsy store.
Fabric Paper is a fun and creative mixed media technique that allows you to make a fusion of fabric and paper that has a unique combination of surface texture, design and color which can be sewn. It can be used for backgrounds, cut up and used as appliqué pieces or structured into three dimensional art.
I’m cleaning out my quilting and craft book library so grab a bargain while they last!
