Some More SAB Calendar Gifts

Hi!

I'm back, as promised, with the other three calendars I made as gifts for my family.

To make construction of the five calendars a bit quicker and easier I did it in a bit of a production line.  First I chose and cut the DSP I wanted to use from the Sycamore Street DSP pack. I then chose the cardstock colours to coordinate.  I stuck to three colours to simplify the process a little - Island Indigo, Pool Party and Rich Razzleberry.

Once I'd cut all the pieces, including the Scallop Square Bigz Clear die cut on the Big Shot, I started assembling each calendar.

Finally came the embellishing - the punches, stamping and bling.  Best part? They all fold down flat for convenient mailing!

Bye for now,

Some SAB Calendar Gifts

Hi!

Every second Christmas I travel home to see my family for the holidays.  I love going to catch up with my mum and sisters and their families.  When I returned this year I decided to make each of them a small gift to thank them for their hospitality.  I had some calendars left over from my calendar class last year, so I decided to make them an easel calendar each.

I used the gorgeous Sale-A-Bration exclusive Sycamore Street DSP. It's lovely and bright - perfect for cheerful projects.

The colours I chose to use - Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party - are from the DSP colour palette.

I also used the SAB stamp set Bloomin' Marvelous for the sentiment and the rest of the stamping on the Decorative Label punchie.

I used the same colours on the second calendar, I just switched the DSP to a different pattern. Easy peasy!

I'll be back soon with more of the calendars I made.

Bye for now,

Craft Caddy

Hi!

I came across a pattern for making this cute craft caddy while browsing the Crafty Storage blog.  It's so cute, and folds up flat when it's not in use.  It uses the Big Shot and the Scallop Square die, currently available in the Summer Mini Catalogue.

Here it is with a few things in it:

Don't forget the Sale-A-Bration blog hop on Saturday!

Catch you later,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi!

My husband Rob and I have never really been ones to celebrate Valentine's Day.  It's all a bit too much commercial for us.  I don't often give him a card on the day, but this year I decided I would.  It's our 13th Valentine's Day as a couple.

Happy Valentine's Day!
