On to Christmas we go!!

I have been crazy busy in the last month. We moved into my mom's house while waiting for our house to be built. I've also been busy with my Christmas events.

Right now we have an Online Extravaganza over at www.stampinup.com. Click on Hot Deals to see what we have on sale. There are a lot of great deals. In just over a month our Holiday Mini Catalogue is done and the Occasions Mini Catalogue is coming out along with the Sale-a-bration. If there is anything you still want from the Holiday Mini, let me know.

Last Saturday I had a group of ladies attend my Christmas Advent Box event. Here are pics of the box.


Days 1-6 with a punched out snowflake lined with Pool Party marker and Dazzling Details added to make it sparkly.


Days 7-12 with a stamped stocking and punched out with the stocking punch.


Days 13-18 with a wreath made from a 1 3/4 circle and the small flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. I added some basic jewels and a hemp twine bow.


Days 19-24 with a Contempo ornament stamped 5 times (4 of them are glued in pairs). I added basic jewels on this one as well.


Here you can see I created the drawers out of Stampin' Up! Matchbox die. The top opens as well to add a little gift for someone as well.


I'm sure you noticed that the top box rotates. This allows you to see the front of it with each side that you have facing out. On the top box, I used the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies for the Big Shot. I also used the basic rhinestones, the jingle bells and another snowflake.

Happy Weekend and Stampin'!
