We are coming to the end of September and the evenings are drawing in – here in North Texas we have dropped from 107F a couple weeks ago to far more manageable mid 80’s, a lot warmer than my home country of the UK though!

Once again I enjoyed designing and making my flip over calendar for 2023, with the help of my friend, Elly – while she was visiting from the UK in October. . As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024
I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .
So today I share, a Happy New Year Penguin with a simple fun fold for the card!

Every year I design around 12 – 14 different Christmas Cards for my card classes, stamp camps and card buffets. One of the most important designs is the one I make for my lovely ladies who attend my card events throughout the year and those who choose me to shop for their Stampin’ UP! goodies. I appreciate you all so much, I get inspiration from each of you, loving the feedback and seeing the delight in your eyes each time you join me for some ‘inky fun’.

Last year I had such fun sharing my flip over calendar at the start of each month that I have decided to do the same for my 2022 calendar. This was designed for a stamp camp in November 2021, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2022.
I have spent the last few weeks designing the calendar for 2023 – I will continue to share them each month starting in January and I will share a card using the same elements to show that the designs can be used more than once!
So today I share Christmas Poinsettias and Pine Cones
