Blog Hop for Stampfairy and a Special Project

Hello Everyone, 

We have a special post to delight you today. Stampfairy is celebrating its first birthday, so Gerda and the Stampfairies are hosting a blog hop, with a difference:

EVERYONE who completes the hop will win a prize.

Gerda has released two very special collections showcasing two of her delightful characters Barry and Molly.  These collections showcase the characters in 12 monthly themes throughout the year and the Stampfairies have each created a Calendar using some or all of the images.  Some of us are teasing you with only a month or two of our calendar, but I'm sharing my whole calendar with you today !

Ensure you leave a comment on each teamie's blog and collect a letter from each teamie along the trip.  The letters are randomly placed but will spell a short phrase.  Once you have completed the hop, left your comments and collected your letters, work out the phrase and email it to Gerda (webmaster@stampfairy.com).  This will get you a Freebie image. Yes that is right, a Freebie image for everyone who completes the hop and emails the correct phrase.  

And let me tell you a secret: the image you will receive is ADORABLE !!

So, lets get on with the hop.  

If you've arrived here from the wonderful "Miss Stampfairy", Gerda's blog, then you're in the right place.  Otherwise, please pop back to her Stampfairy Blog to start at the beginning and get the details.

My calendar showcases Barry, and I'm sharing all 12 months of my calendar made with my Zutter binding machine, so prepare yourself for a picture fest!  Some of the months are from the new release, but some of the others are some previous Barry releases.  I hope you agree that all the Barry Bears are all so cute.


Front using Barry Peeker

January using Barry Winter
 February using Barry Angel
March using Barry throughout the year:
April using Barry throughout the year and Clemantine Easter for the cart
May using Barry throughout the year
June using Barry throughout the year
July using Barry Birthday
August using Barry throughout the year
September using Barry throughout the year
October using Barry Halloween and Barry Spooky Bats background
November using Barry throughout the year

December using Barry throughout the year

And Finally - a view from the side so you can see how it is constructed on its triangle frame.

Phew - all done.  Hope you liked the show !!

The next stop along the hop is Chris, but before you disappear,  note down the letter E:  
Now hop on over to my sweet teamie Chris, and don't forget to leave me a comment to ensure you qualify for your freebie.

Thanks for stopping by.  The blog hop ends on Dec 31 so get hopping before the deadline.  If you get lost along the way, hop back to the main blog where there is a list of the full hop links.
