Hello & Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year to all!  Welcome to my HoneyB Designs blog.  For those who do not know me, my name is Becky Pressgrove.  I live with my husband, son and two adorable dogs in the Twin Cities, MN, and as a natural born and raised Texan, I have to say that winters here can be a bit rough. 

I have created this blog to share my love of crafting and creative projects with others.  I am a Stampin' UP! demo, and the majority of the projects I share here will be stamping/papercrafting related, but I also enjoy sewing, crochet, jewelry-making, home decor - just about anything crafty - and will share other worthy projects and tidbits as well. 

Since it is a brand new year, I thought that our December stamp club calendar project would be perfect for sharing today. 

For these calendars - I CASED the layout/design  from Kim Warne's coaster calendar HERE and used Angie Juda's design which utilizes two coasters, jumbo grommets and ribbon to make the calendar free-standing HERE.  Following are the supplies used:
  • Love Letters DSP
  • Basic Black and Riding Hood Red cardstock
  • Basic Black wide striped grosgrain ribbon, Basic Black satin ribbon, Basic Black 1/4 in. grosgrain ribbon, Victoria lace ribbon, Linen Thread
  • Antique Brads
  • Jumbo Grommets
  • Scallop Circle punches
  • Rectangular coasters and calendars obtained thru a bulk buy group
I will also be working on setting up a blog store where I will have finished products, project kits and tutorials as well as retired SU! product available for sale, so watch for that coming soon.

Thanks for stopping by and here's to a happy and prosperous New Year to all!

I hope you will visit again.
