February 2010

Basically did a 360 degree turn on this calendar. XD While the first was sparkly, I went with a very minimalistic approach to this one. I was looking around for pictures again in my file when I chanced upon the PERFECT picture of Antonio (Spain) and Lovino (S. Italy), and I decided to make a kind of scapbook look to it. The paper clip is from Google. XD

At the time I was making this, I was listening to a song from the Gintama soundtrack which largely effected the outcome of this. I wanted to try to implement the quiet sweetness of this song into the calendar and I hope to dear gods that I succeeded because this would have failed completely if I didn't.

Because this calendar was made more or less specifically for Valentine's Day, I had to include some really sappy words into it. The first part at the bottom, of course, says Happy Valentines' Day. I originally wanted to put it in either Spanish or Italian, but the translator wouldn't do anything, so I had to use English. The bottom half of the words says "amore mio", which is "my love".
