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.

Stamps, Stamps and more stamps

I have recently added a lot of wood-mounted Rubber Stamps from Dovecraft. They cost just 99p each which makes them really good value.

There's the Smirk Stamps

the Celtic Stamps

the Sentiment Stamps

and many more.....

Go and check them out here and remember there's a flat-rate p&p of £2.95.

'Love and Friendship' or 'Naughty but Nice'?

Which are your favourites? I've just added the wonderful Smirk range from Dovecraft to my shop. Smirk characters are a combination of sassy and sweet which makes for a magical and eclectic set of personalities with universal appeal. Smirk will put an instant smile on everyone's face, and no matter what you need to say, or who you need to say it to, you can always say it with Smirk.

Smirk Love and Friendship: for the one you love or your favourite friend. Cute characters say 'I love you' or simply 'thanks for being a friend' in an adorable way. Soft colours and meaningful words mix delightfully in this range of paper craft products.








Smirk Naughty but Nice: an assortment of mischievous characters and innocent angels which are perfect for a party princess or a little devil. Colourful characters and funny, good humoured, sentiments make up this cheeky set of paper craft products.
