This weekend, one commenter will win two hand carved rubber stamps from Skull and Cross Buns. The fabulous bunting and the cute heart topped Cupcake stamp, each unique and beautiful.

Emily Fox is the designer and creator of “Skull and Cross Buns” Stamps. Residing in idyllic Devon she is inspired by her love of Skulls and cakes. “I come from a really creative family too, my mum is a fantastic textile artist and cake maker and my aunt makes jewellery and greeting cards. My two children love to stamp too, I’m always being pestered to carve them something new, which is great but my sofa is starting to look like a stamp brochure – Ooops!”

You can see more of Emily on her blog and in her Etsy and Folksy

This weekend, one commenter will win a Pretty print called ‘they lived in a paper village’ from Caroline Rose Art.

Caroline loves to work with paper and make bright, colourful collages for children and adults.
“It is always really wonderful to hear that my art makes people happy.
I also love to play with fabric and have designed a fabric owl and a fabric giraffe. It is nice to have a break from cutting and glueing and to sew for a bit, but my real love is my art”

This weekend, one commenter will win either a POW or KAPOW necklace from the amazingly funky Kitschen Sink Jewellery store.

KitschenSink jewellery and accessories is the result of Rowan Grant spending quality crafting time with her Grandma, a fascination of colourful branded toys and a desire to re-purpose mass-produced materials into handmade, wearable fashion treats. Very often, the jewellery features iconic comic images which have been repurposed into jewellery for you to make a statement. The designs, which are reminiscent of Lichtenstein, are perfect for pop-art princesses, Lichtenstein lovers and graphic novel geeks alike.

Kitschen Sink has a fabulous blog where you can keep up to date with the latest news and creations.

So excited to be back to the Journal your Christmas time of year. So much more I want to share, but first I need to catch my breath just a bit. If you’re dithering about joining in this year, go ahead. We would love to have you along for the ride, and I know you’ll treasure the Christmas stories you document through this project.

Christmas, you are pretty darn fabulous, you know.
