I made this calendar incorporating the colors from today's inspiration challenge hosted by Stef on this item http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php...ng_id=31123072 ,
Thursday's WT251 - It's About time- I thought the calendar was very appropriate,

The images and sentiment are from Our Daily Bread Designs: Noah's Ark and Happy Birthday stamp sets.
