Hello all! Happy New Year! We still have a few more hours before we welcome 2014. The kiddies are trying to stay awake til then but we'll see how long they last before they fall asleep. I may fall asleep before midnight too. I am already getting a bit sleepy. Plus my mother has planned a breakfast service at 8 am! I'm not sure how we're gonna manage that.
I am still trying to play a bit of catch up from Christmas! Because I was kind of poor at managing my time and made those stockings and gingerbread men, I didn't have enough time to make my goal of 20 calendars. Yes, I know that sounds crazy as well. I only had time to make 4 calendars for my daughter's teachers packed with a gift card by the time school got out for break. I didn't even have time to take a photo of them. But I've made 6 more since then. This batch was all for the doctors and staff of my kids' pediatrician office.
I used Sister Stamps for all of these calendars. They are the perfect size and plus they have this cute horse for 2014. I bought the calendars online from Taylored Expressions. I like that they are a neutral black color.
These 2 calendars feature Sister Stamps Li-Li with a CC Designs sentiment. I kept all the layouts the same to save my sanity. Some gold cardstock so there is a bit of a reflection in the photos.
These 2 have Shin-Shin and Mieko.
I was really happy I ordered this Sizzix easel die to attach to the back of all the calendars. I used some chipboard so these are all pretty sturdy.
I packed each one in a clear bag and tied them all together with twine. I added a tag with a Happy New Year sentiment. So technically I was on time with this New Year's gift. Just 10 more calendars to go!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
