Ah February, the month of all things pink, hearts and Valentine's Day. I have to admit that I not totally into all of that, so I thought I would have some fun with a February Day to Day calendar page that honours some of the traditions of February, but really captures the styles, colours and things that I love!
So, given that - I had to start with my favourite Doodlebug colour as a base and fill the space with die cut flowers! I also added some of my new favouite Doodlebug puffy stickers (these remind me of my sticker collection when I was a kid), and even a little stamp (but we will get to him in a minute).
To embellish the top of the calendar, I decided to use some of the pieces from the Lots of Love Bits & Pieces die cuts. There are some beautiful flowers in the so this was a perfect match for February. I added a mini paperclip and a cute Doodle Pop for a bit of texture (and super cuteness).
I also used the Bits & Pieces on other places on the calendar as -trying to balance the bottom corner with the top. Oh, and that little Yeti you see there - that is my special friend, Harry. He is my ALL TIME favourite Doodlebug character so I thought it would be fun to see if I could work him to every month in some way.
For February, I simply masked off the sections around the day I wanted him to appear with some blue sticky notes and then stamped him on the day I wanted.
I coloured him up a bit with my alcohol markers and with the help of a little sticker from the Lots of Love Mini Icon sticker sheet, he was all set! I actually loved the way he turned out and I think I will work more stamps into my calendars moving forward!
So there you have it - it may not be all filled with hearts and references to Valentine's Day, but I think it is an awesome way to capture the month. I can't wait to put it up in a few weeks! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
