February Calendar Page

As pink seems to be my colour of the moment........which is actually quite strange........as I'm not normally a pink person..........and it's Valentines month.........though what pink has to do with love and hearts and all that stuff I'm not really sure........I thought I'd stick with it. We're not particularly into Valentine's Day.........OH usually works away in the week, so isn't even here.......we do exchange cards and a little gift........though it's actually on Sunday this year.....maybe we'll go out for a meal.
And what all this drivel is leading up to is this month's calendar page.......which is a bit on the pink side [and very badly photographed]!!
I've used the remnants of the Basic Grey papers that I used for the pink cards.......over stamped with free bird heart stamp that came with my favourite magazine......Craft Stamper......used SU 'nearly cocoa' ink for the stamp and to distress the chipboard hearts.....the photo was printed with a slight sepia tinge.......and layered up on heart shaped card and paper.
And the first thing that needs to go on the calendar is Sunday 7th......when I'm off to the Creative Stitch and Hobbycrafts Exhibition at The Brighton Centre......am really looking forward to that.
It does also fit in with some challenges.......Fussy and Fancy want hearts this week ....... SSD have an 'open choice'.........Corrosive Challenge and Sophisticats want 'love'.........Pink Elephant want 'pink' and Lexi's Creations wants 'Valentines'

Great calendar page, and I love the photo of the two of you. Pink is not really my color either. Do you think I could make an orange heart for Valentine's Day?
