Smirk Calendar

This is my prototype for the calendars I intend to make for the school Christmas Fayre at the end of November.  I cannot claim any credit for the idea as I have seen lots of them made on crafty blogs over the last couple of Christmases.  I have to give a big thank you, though, to Craftygranny not only for the inspiration but also for a big stack of beermats that she very kindly sent me.  She currently has a candy giveaway on her blog and a wonderful digi-stamp for sale to raise funds for the Ear Trust.  Pop over and take a look.

So the papers are from the Smirk 'love and friendship' range as are the stamps.  If you like the stamps, you'll find them over on my Leftovers blog.

The calendar tabs are from Anita's and the ribbons and embellishments are freebies from magazines.  I'm hoping to make a load of them using scraps from my stash.  I'll post more of them as I get some different designs.

Christmas Giveaway

As an early Christmas present I am running a special offer for the festive period. Any orders placed between now and 19th December in my shop will receive a free gift. The gift will change each Monday and is handmade by me!

Orders placed by 12th December can be guaranteed delivery before Christmas (assuming the postal system doesn't lose them!). This date is to cover large items needing the Standard Parcels Service. I will continue to post first class (subject to weight limitations) until 19th December.

Also, why not take a look at the Trimcraft Advent Calendar which gives a new project to try each day.
