Last week was half term in our area so I had some crafting time, yeah!!!
I had seen these gorgeous advent calendars in magazines and on various websites and loved the idea but not decorated to my style, when I see things I often know what I want it to look like at the end, so I bought a kit and spent many lovely hours playing with inks, papers and stamps and enjoyed every minute.
This is what my hard work looks like, although I think it looks better in the flesh as it were...
I went for a chocolate and cream theme, adding a cool blue and cheerful red for good measure...
Here is a close up of the snowman, cute huh?
...and the lovely playful reindeer
...it had to have a gorgeous girl on it, didn't it?
and lastly a close up of the die cut numbers, with glossy accents.
As you can see I used a mix of products, Stampin' Up! papers, inks and dies, gorgeous girl and hero art stamps. I am really pleased with the over all effect and when each drawer contains a treasure I'm sure my children will appreciate it even more! Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
Until next time, Happy Crafting Dawn x
