Here are my 12 tags for The Craft Barn Calendar Challenge made over the last 12 weeks. I thought I'd better make something small so that I had a chance of finishing the challenge.
I decided I'd make the calendar for my daughter for Christmas - she's at University so it'll hang nicely on her pinboard and hopefully give her something bright and cheerful to look at every month.
I've also made an extra tag as a front cover - it's Walnut Stain and Salty Ocean Distress Inks, stamped with a Tim Holtz phrase and 2013 added with Making Memories glitter stickers. I've fastened the tags together with a jump ring and used some spotty ribbon to tie it all together.
I've thoroughly enjoyed doing these tags every week so thanks to The Craft Barn for the challenge. Hopefully my daughter has been too busy with her studies and hasn't been reading my blog!!
Thanks also to everyone that has looked at my blog and left comments - I appreciate them all. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and more Challenges to come!!
The calendar looks wonderful altogether, I think it will indeed give your Daughter something cheerful to look at each month - and remind her of home no doubt. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too Elaine. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI just love your calendar, all 12 tags look great together and the saying on the front is perfect. I think it's a fab idea and I'm sure your daughter will treasure it.
Merry Christmas to you too, and a very happy New Year. xx
Well done Elaine, that looks lovely. I like your bright colours. I think your Nov tag is my favourite, although Aug and Mar also stand out for me. Love the saying on the front tag. Happy Christmas and New Year
