I had the pleasure of sharing a DELIGHTFUL scrapping get-away weekend with my fabulous crafting lady friends Frances and Ashley!
We met wonderful ladies (one being Sandy!) and shared a crafting space with four other equally VIVACIOUS spirits: MaryKate, Deidra, Diane, and Michelle (all whom traveled from CT)! The ladies who attended this little get-away weekend share the same exhuberantly passionate scrapbooking, paper obsessed, embellishment-craze energy as Frances, Ashley and I do. OOOO it was SOO FUN!
I worked on my Christmas present for my brother Josh and his wife Dorey. Christmas is their FAVORITE holiday so I decided to make them an Advent Calendar. Each little drawer holds a wish along with a token directing them to their little basket of goodies that are individually wrapped and tagged Day 1 through Day 25. Each day they will read their little wish and find in their basket of goods their Daily Gift.
This weekend involves:
- Adding grosgrain ribbon with a ric-rac overlay around the box's outer edge
- Wrapping up their little gifts
- Making each gifts' tag
Products used:
- Basic Gray Holiday papers
- Ranger Stickles (LOVE them!)
- Florals (distressed with brown chalk)
- Various Holiday brads and tags
- Cat's Eye Chalk
- Karen Foster Design - Countdown Calendar
- Various Holiday Rub-ons
The girls thought it hysterical that Frances, Ashley and I had the same Tape-Gun! Here's a picture of the "Scrapping Angels":
