I've decide to continue with Julie's Month in Numbers this year, again in my Smash book. Last year, the design for every month was different but I think in 2013 I'd like to have a bit more continuity so I've bought the Simple Stories Snap 6x6 pad to provide the titles and embellishments (Simple Stories is my favourite line at the moment) and a pack of Jenni Bowlin month bingo cards. I'm going to combine these with a photo collage each month and add my numbers by hand. The colour quality on my collage is pretty bad so I'll get it reprinted when I next place a photo order.
The numbers read: 7 days with snow on the ground 5 visits to prospective secondary schools 64.5 hours of lessons taught £49.68 raised by the International Club college event, which I organised 3 new gadgets bought in the January sales 17 loads of washing done
I didn't use the Simple Stories papers on this, as the colours felt too bright for what has a been a cold and stressful January, so instead I used up a scrap of snowflake paper from a recent layout and a pink from my scraps box.
I made a title page for my 2013 Smash book using the Smash swatch tape. I'm really happy with the rosette and I think I'll be using this technique on my 12x12s as well. (Sorry about the shadows on the photos, by the way!)

Sweet book. I so admire you for remembering those numbers from your month!
Genius to use the bingo (?) card and write around - a very creative idea!
You sound very organised - and I too love the bingo card with the ringed numbers - inspired!
And the idea of a monthly photo collage is ideal.
I've added you to the board now: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/
Welcome to your 2nd year in numbers and Happy February!
Julie :-)
I really love how you documented your numbers in your Smash book...I may have to do that during this week's Smash session myself.
...and what a great way to use the tape! :)
I love your snow photos. Great month for you.
love your plan for recording the numbers this year
I love the bongo card idea :o)
