I originally thought of the idea when Carolyn launched a competition on the craft forum. And well I thought it was about time I made the effort to enter something!
So here is my Blue Pete effort for a calendar for her
So there you have it - be gentle with your comments please ..............
Love Bex xxxxxxxxx

How did you come up with distinct ideas for all of them? I'd have been scraping the barrel after seven months I bet...
The picture of August is my favourite picture of Rachel. I think it's lovely. May and April are the runners up for me. As for the non-photo element, I really like the textures and colours used for November, January and March the most.
I love the way it's all personalised, but you do realise what you've done, don't you?
You've created the first Rachel Fuller calendar.
OMG I have indeed!!
Do you think I could mass produce them and make my fortunes ........
Nah bad idea .......... this one took long enough!
Thanks for your comments James - I do in fact need to add more to some of the pages that are a bit bare but I have a few weeks to do that.

Really like the font too, by the way.
Thats is such a fantastic idea Becky! Im sure she will treasure it! It must have taken ages! It was well worth all the effort. The papers are scrummy and the pics are gorgeous!
Once the year is up she could frame the piccies!

Rachel's bloggers would buy that calendar! Be gentle? -- It is fantastic!!! You did a fab job.
Unacustomed as i am at leaving serious messages in cyber world i thought a cheap a joke involving "entering things" would be apt. But NO!
i resisted.
truely effing gorgeous Bex. What a gifted artiste you are. I wouldn't dismiss the idea of selling them to bloggers. Think you may be on to something. Really.
That is beautiful, Bex!
Very creative, not to mention thoughtful!
Sisters are pretty neat - I know because I have one (and two brothers).
My favourite is the February one - and it's the month of my birthday, as well - fitting.
Has Rachel seen it yet?
Thanks for sharing your lovely creation with us!
Love
Dale
love love love it xxxxxxx
...so have you stuck all those little numbers on it.
I have to say it is really fab - and you really are a clever bunny.
Great idea Bex - she will have to do something with it after the year is up tho, too much work for 12 months.

Hey Bex!
With that June picture of you three, The Corrs have their 'best-looking siblings in a musical category' Brit Award!!
The calendar looks great, and I'm sure bloggers would snap em up when they go on sale.

PS
Post above should have read;
"The Corrs have lost their best-looking sisters in music" Brit Award.

Oh this is adorable, Bex! You are so talented. Rachel is going to absolutely love it.
Hope you are doing well, speak soon. x
I don't have to be "gentle".....these are absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Every month pics has special meaning; Rachel is sure to treasure this forever. Do they come with "refill pages"? You know, so she can keep the covers and just refill calendar page...just an idea!
Take care Bex, and you should surely win the crafty competition ;-)

Bex it looks like from the pictures that each piece is glued on top of the other for that textured layered look. Is this correct? Not only is that alot of work, but you clearly have a great eye (well probably two) for shapes and colours and how they fit together. Fantastic work here, congrats!
Bex these are SO beautiful!!
Can you do some for me???
Please???
Hi Bex,
I like your calendars by the way - very nice. Cheers for leaving a message on my blog. Where abouts have you moved to then? I may know it. I saw that you moved house on Delbut's blog. (I know it's not a shed though, lol) I hope you'll be happy in your new home.
Cheers,
Natalie
Bex-
Maybe not a calendar but scrapbooks?
Have a great day!

Hey Bex!
You are so talented! April is my fave one but they are all beautiful! I'm sure if there was a way to mass produce them there would be alot of us who would love to buy a Rachel calendar!
Thanks for stopping by my blog by the way!
xxmaryxx
Told you it would be worth it in the end! Gorgeous xxx
Hola Bex,
This is lovely, beautiful, well done girl!!! You can tell you did it with your heart (and with your hands, of course...:)
I love all of them, but April is my favourite.
Love,
Elena

Hey Bex, you're older!
Happy Birthday!

Hi Bex,
Happy Birthday.
I love the calendar, I bet if you could locate co. to put them together, they would sell en mass. How about photographic reproduction of original? I understand these are specially made, I bet lots of Rachel fans would want one, us included.
Come to think of it... An In The Attic calendar featuring each member of the cast may sell like hot cakes. You could do a calendar bundled with a special CD, or a Holiday CD with the calendar, Rachel & Mikey doing carols. mmmm
You're so talented.
Wow that is gorgeous Becky
Bex,
I LOVE this. I'd buy one, MAKE THEM!!! Sell them on Cafepress (if they make calendars)!!!
~Lace~
PS I'm with you James, I especially love August too.
~LACE~
Lace, I've always thought you had excellent taste.
Aww, Rachel's lucky to get it. This is fantastic, but the best thing is all the love that you've put into it.
Maria
wow that is just beautiful :-) well done!
