Little Gift Ideas

Hi there… thanks for visiting me today.

Finally i can show you two little calendars i have made a few weeks back. The idea is completely taken from my very talented German friend Monika. She sent me in 2009 and 2010 each year one of these. The only thing she did was, to adhere the calendar sheets to the front (like were you can see my teddy) so it could sit like this through out the year on my desk.

I thought that those tiny CD jewel cases would also make a great storage space or case to give some dies to friends.

Here i just placed a few of my Magnolia Doo Hickey dies – so you get an idea of the size. They do fit nicely, don’t they? Sweet little gift idea for a crafting friend.

It was fairly difficult to take good photos of the holder – maybe this photo shows better how the idea works. I covered the backside of the magnetic sheet with matching Designer paper. The calendar is just with Scott double sided tape adhered, so the focal point image can be easily exchanged for Spring or Summer if my friend likes to keep this holder.

 For the supplies:
Teddy on sled – Lili of the Valley
Snowman – Lili of the Valley

Sentiments: Whimsy Postmark stamps
Papers: Basic Grey
Dies: Marianne Design and Martha Stewart Snowflake punch, Magnolia DooHickey dies on Magnet sheets – iam using the full sheets to store all my Nestabilities on them. They are easy to cut to any size you need them.
Coloring: Copic Sketch

Magnet Sheets, little calendars, CD holders – source unknown Moni can not remember where she purchased them.
