January is this: Something New Using Something Old!
What do I mean by that? This isn’t exactly what it seems. It’s not a vintage theme, though you can make your card/project vintage if you’d like. What I do want you to do is look back over your Calendar Girl posts/creations from the year 2011 and choose one of the images you used. Then I want you to create something entirely different with the same image. It cannot look at all like the previous Calendar Girl creation; nor can you use the same papers/embellishments/etc.
When you post to your blog – on January 28 – I want you to also post a picture of your 2011 card/project that used the same image so we can see the two and how different they are.
So here is my card I made several months ago using my image:
And here is the card I made using the same image for this month's challenge:
I used Basic Black, Whisper White, and Pretty In Pink CS. Pretty In Pink DP. My oval Nesties. My Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border punch from SU! The flowers were punched using a retired flower punch and small circle punch from SU! And of course, I had to use the mini pearls.
Thanks for stopping by and please check out all the Calendar Girls' creations. See my sidebar.

Super sentiment...well, for a sewing card! LOL Just kidding - I love it!!!
The colors are perfect and go with the whimsy style of the sentiment font.
Great re-make!
Great remake! The pink, black & white combo is great, and I love how the black border looks like lingerie trim. Of course, pearls are the perfect "accessory"! :-)
Love how different the cards look. Love the colors, and the embellishments. Awesome card!
