Happy Birthday Calico Collage & New Christmas Collage Sheets

I have been super busy since my last post.  After creating the Vintage Halloween Collage Sheets (which has been a new top seller) I was asked for some Christmas collage sheets!  WHAT?!?!  Christmas?  And at the time it was requested it wasn't even October!  Wow!  I wish I could get started on Christmas that early....Yes I am one of those who wait till the last moment to buy gifts...I am so pitiful sometimes.


A little news before I show you the Christmas collage sheets.  This month Calico Collage is celebrating her 3rd birthday!  It's so hard to believe that Calico Collage has been open for 3 years now!  As a thank you to all my great customers I would like to offer a Special Coupon for all of October!

Use Coupon Code HAPPYBIRTHDAY2011 at my Etsy Shop.

Now onto the New Vintage Christmas collage sheets!

This design comes in a lot more sizes & of course if you need another size that I do not have listed, just ask.
