Hug a mug desk calendar

I have been wanting to make a desk calendar ever since I received one from Monika in a PIF candy. I bought the cd cases from Poundland when we bought the recordable dvd (which hasn't worked properly since the day we had it grrr....) The paper is out of a pack I've had for ages, there are small gems on the tips of the swirls and the calendar is curling a bit as I brushed it over with a beige watercolour pencil as the white stood out too much!! The image is one of the newer ones from Sugar Nellie's, I think she is really cute, and she is holding a mug of hot chocolate or maybe even soup I am using this as my entry into this weeks My Time to Craft challenge which is 'Food, Glorious, Food'
I am also entering this for the Lili of the Valley 'Anything Goes' challenge.
and Also for the challenge over at Cute Card Thursdays which they are asking us to use something we had for christmas on our cards, well I have coloured the image with my new Whispers Strokes brush markers, admittingly I used them as normal felt-tips but will practice with the blender pens sometime!!

We are awaiting news from Carly as to when Charisma Cards first challenge is going to hit the blog, will post my card and the challenge as soon as we know. Should be sometime today!
