MCT 12 Days of Christmas Day 1 ~ Episode 420




GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to our 1st day of our "Twelve Days of Christmas"!  Okie dokie, there are TONS of pics here for you to see today! I am NOT HAPPY w/my pictures because it was already to dark to use the light outside:( I promise, my "Countdown to Christmas" is MUCH PRETTIER in person!;) I have been SO INSPIRED by all of these advent calendars lately that I just HAD to make one of my own! WOW, where do I start.....basically, all I did was adhere 25 of my cute little pocket dies to a kraft color 12x12 cardstock! I decorated every pocket using SEVERAL of my products & I just LOVE how it came out!
For this title, I finally used my Cameo & cut out this free file (the banner)! I'm not sure exactly what size it is, I just made it big enough to fit across the entire 12x12 cutting mat! Then I was SO HAPPY to use my "Lower Case Fun Dies" for my title! I added some glass glitter to my snowflakes!

Here are some pictures of all the pockets!






This is one of the goodies that are tucked in a few of the pockets! I thought it would be a good idea to put a message that states "Read" & when the boys pick this, I will let them either go to Barnes & Noble OR let them order a book online! I thought this was PERFECT because BOTH of my boys LOVE to read! I used the cloud die for this message!
I put little clothespins on the little tags so it would be easier for the boy to take them out!;)

This next one I used my heart die & stamped a candy on here so they can pick a candy this day!;) 

This next one, I used one of the banners from my "Build a Banner Kit" & stamped a little chocolate kiss here! 

This next one, is pretty self explanatory! lol..... YEP, when the boys choose this one, there will DEFINITELY be a Starbucks run!;) 

This one is my FAVORITE! When they pick this, they will give me lots of hugs & kisses~! ;) There will be ONE DAY that they "might" think they are too cool to give their Mommy hugs & kisses, so I will take as many as I can get now!;) 

I'm not going to lie & say that this was SUPER EASY......lol...it took me 2 days to complete it, but I am in love w/the end result! I landed up "recycling" this frame that Miss Liz,  Miss Katie & myself made either last year OR earlier this year! I had this frame in my craftroom w/a few of my favorite cards on it! I just removed the cards & used it for this~! I thought this frame was a PERFECT fit for this! (Pretend you don't see the hot glue on the right side of the frame) hahahaha! I forgot to remove it before my picture taking!  Oh well, I hope you like it my sweet friends!


Here is my video on how I put this together!

Supplies I used:
~ Fly Away w/me Sentiments (banner die)
~ Mini Cookie Cutters (Hobby Lobby)

Okay, now onto the BEST design team in the WHOLE WORLD~!;)
Click on each of their names to see more pics & let them some bloggy love!

  48. Incredible as always!! I need to clear my schedule for the next 12 days Emma. Whenever your "12 Days of Christmas" comes each year my children and I get busy making EVERYTHING!! We have given away some pretty amazing gift baskets to teachers each year who rave and rave about their goodies!! (I can't take any credit though, as I scraplift, LOL) My kids still talk about the Shrinky Dink Santa earrings and bracelets we made for family members who were so touched by these hand made gems!!

    You are amazing, and as always, an inspiration!!

    Cheers to you and your so very talented team!
    Val

    Gonna get busy making this super adorable advent calendar. My daughter and I love it. We will make it together and put things in each pocket for the ENTIRE family. Each day someone different in the family will get something special so that way we can all be part of making it together. So fun!
