Saffire's Stamping: Calendar Page for January

In the mad rush that was my Christmas last year, I never got round to making my own calendar for this year. I did loads of little ones using the Stampin' Up cases for friends and one for me for work, but didn't do myself a calendar for the house! So after seeing this gorgeous calendar by Tammi, I decided to start making my own this weekend. So far I have got January done, but I'm getting February's page done tomorrow and will then have to do the rest bit by bit as I get the chance, but half term's coming up soon so I'm aiming to get the whole calendar finished by then! The actual calendar section is left over from all the ones I made just before Christmas, but I had printed them all off on Very Vanilla cardstock and I don't have a printer at home, so it doesn't quite match, but I think I can get away with it!

January is still fairly cold and usually the time of year we get snow here in Peterborough (generally don't have white Christmases), so I thought a snowy, wintery feel would work for this page. I used the gorgeous Nikki, which was a freebie on Krista Smith's blog a while ago and added lots of blue and glittery white, all of which made this page perfect for entering Cute Card Thursday's Challenge #252 Diamonds Are Forever (I hope I added enough glitter card, Stickles and glitter jewels to qualify!) and for Papertake Weekly's Challenge Baby It's Cold Outside!
