Those of you loving the challenges, worry not! We’re going to have fun bi-weekly challenges over at Ztampfans Group starting this Thursday, 18 Oct. 2007. How does it work? A new challenge will be posted every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month. The challenges, requirements and prizes will be varied but ANY ONE is ALWAYS welcome to play and to vote. Participants may post as many layouts as they wish.

Participants will have 1 week to upload their layouts with the following week dedicated for voting time. Anyone may vote but only 1 vote is allowed per challenge. The Layout that received the most votes will win. The winner will be announced along with the posting of the next challenge.

What do you think? Interested to play? You will need to join Facebook first. Don’t worry, it is super easy and fun! It could be addicting though, so be warned ;). Once you’ve joined, look for my name Lie Fhung or Ztampfans Group.

Now… the brand new stuff:

And the Deutsche Version of the Ztampf! 5×7 Card Calendar 2008 Kit is now available:

Is that all? Nope! I’ve received my Bind-It-All machine last week and I’ve used it to bind my newest Crafty Calendar Kit coming up to the shop by this weekend! It took some practice to make a perfect binding though, so I advise you to make a mock-up calendar set to practice with. Later you can use this as a guide/example. Here’s a sneak peek for the new Crafty Calendar Kit. Most of the kit is down, I just need to work on the illustrated Instructions Booklet.

I used the Centering method with 6 holes so that I can have 4 Calendars made from just 1 Double-O Wire binding. Yup, I am a thrifty gal at heart! But it looks good that way, isn’t it?

The Bind-It-All machine will be perfect for the regular size Ztampf! Crafty Calendars too! Get yours from my favorite shop here. In my experience, all orders come with a tiny pack of m&m’s ;). I haven’t shopped there much since I’ve gone digi though…

That’s it for today. Now I need to get some lunch and if I am lucky I might be able to catch a nap too! (Only had about 3.5 hours of sleep last night!).
