Back with my mission to make a few Christmas presents, I decided to make another 2013 calendar today. This time I have stepped outside my normal comfort zone and gone a bit arty (OK not much) with the back ground. I tore up scraps of backing paper that were left over for ages and stuck them down randomly. Then it has been coated with Decoupatch glue (glossy). The kraft backing is actually a packaging box which Mum's birthday present came in. The image is from Pollycraft. I will enter this into this weeks Waste not Wednesday and MAWTT (summer) challenges.

Ooh I love your ideas here with the recycled packaging and the tearing. Both great in my book. You should start your own Etsy shop and sell these.
