A little bit behind on my January Calendar!!!!!

Here we are already a couple of weeks into January and I am just getting my calendar page done...and another Christmas card to add to my 2014 collection. I got a little carried away the last two posts with the sponging technique and snow in the background technique, but it is so fun to do. On my Christmas card I added a moon....I made a circle template and then just sponged around it.
 I bought these stamps ages ago. They are called paper garden projects! Ever so cute I think. I coloured them all with copics and cut them all out and added them into the snow drifts. Which by the way we have a lot of this year.
So hats of to January....and hopefully it will come and go very quickly...I am really looking forward to spring....how about you!
