Advent Shadow Box

Hello Peeps !!!

Merry Christmas to all !!!

Hope everyone is enjoying this morning festivities- opening presents, having a wonderful breakfast and/ or still snuggled under the covers. Whatever you do, make it a joyous season!!!
As for me, I took a break in the kitchen after I got my breakfast casserole in the oven. I put more stocking stuffers while everyone is still asleep. And with a cup of coffee in one hand...  I am sharing a project I made for my class using the Twenty Five and Counting. I cut so many  pieces, I thought I was going crazy. The class did each square and they were done in no time.  I actually let them embellish their own advent calendar so they can put their own personal touch. I started working on mine everyday and finally got it finished 2 days ago.  They are going to bring their finished advent in January and anxious to see their work. Hope you like it.

Fa La La Christmas- Joy at Christmas Card

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Wednesday !!!

I thought I'd share my Christmas Card that I sent this year. It is just  a very simple design using the Northern Flurry EF as my background and adding the rhinestones to the embossed snowflakes.  I used the stamp image from Perfect Punches and punch it with the scallop circle punch. I then again used the large scallop circle punch using Cherry Cobbler paper.  I do not know how much I have used the Cherry Cobbler paper this year but I have used it a lot and it's just becoming a favorite of mine.
Hope you like it.
