March Calendar page: Wedding Photo

Another page from my 2010 Calendar. This one celebrates our wedding, six years ago! Allison McKellar took our photos.

This page was really easy, because I used a beautiful template from Pickleberry Pop (an Australian digi scrapbooking site). But I did alter it a bit and added some extra embellishments. I created the resin "&" in Photoshop.

February 2010 Calendar artwork

 

This is the February page from my calendar, which I printed at Snapfish. The photo I took in the British Museum (and was promptly told off for! - oops!)

All the design elements here are my own creations. The butterfly is a scanned image of a watercolour painting I did on holiday at the beach :) The yo-yos I made myself, photographed and recoloured (originally pink). The buttons I photographed were vintage buttons belonging to my grandmother. There is also some of her lace there and some scanned torn cardboard. The stitching, ribbons, and fabric flowers I created in Photoshop. The doodled flowers were hand drawn and then refined in Illustrator, and the background paper was created in Illustrator.
