2014 Calendar Info & Give A Way

Hi All!
 
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
It's getting to be that time again to start working on our new Technique Calendar for 2014!  If this is your first "new year" at Ink Stains I'll explain a bit...each January we work on creating a new calendar - a technique for each month. 
 
I try to choose a different shape ~ we've used CD's, ticket shape, pennant, house, etc.  Well, this year I've had several requests to use "shipping" shaped tags.  So, ask and ye shall receive!  Of course there are all sizes of shipping tags - everything from about 2" on up. 
 
Here is a list of the common shipping tag number and their sizes:
 
#1 (2¾" x 1-3/8") 
#2 (3¼" x 1-5/8")
#3 (3¾" x 1-7/8") 
#4 (4¼" x 2-1/8") 
#5 (4¾" x 2-3/8") 
#6 (5¼" x 2-5/8") 
#7 (5¾" x 2-7/8") 
#8 (6¼" x 3-1/8") 
#10 (7¼" x 3-5/8") 
#12 (8" x 4") 
 
I will be using the #8 tags. 
 
Now you'll also need a template for the mini calendars.  Here are a few places you can find them:
 
 
a colorful one...
 
 
 
LOADS of calendar ideas....
 
 
Of course there will be 12 different techniques ~ one for each month but I can't tell you what they are going to be for sure....I have a list of way more than 12 so I'm going to have to narrow it down somehow - LOL!!  
 
I thought it would be fun to start the New Year off with a give away so I will be making up a few calendar sets which will include: 12 tags (manila, kraft & black tags), a book ring and mini tear off printed calendars to a few readers!
 
So, all you have to do is leave a comment and you'll be entered to win one of  5 sets of tags/ring & a tear off calendar. 
 
You have until 1-5-14 to enter to win!
 
Good Luck Everyone!!

  9. Roni, I am determined that this is my year to play along. My 2013 did not have a great start so that is why I am convinced that 2014 will be my year to discover new ideas and techniques. I am limbering up my fingers for some messy, inky, painty, and all around one of a kind, Roni's brand of fun!

    Yipppeeee and a Happy New Year to everyone!
